Her days are spent exploring, enacting Bollywood movie scenes, studying and mastering new skills.

“Pursuing a career in modelling is something that I have enjoyed ever since I was little. It’s something that boosts my confidence levels as well as, makes me a better individual,” she said.
Her career goals over the next five years: Kiara would like to be qualified and employed at a renowned firm. “Dancing wise, I would love to go international. It’s definitely one of my biggest goals. I’m passionate about my dancing, it’s something I really enjoy and allows me to express my culture. Modelling wise, I would want to take part in Miss India SA, it’s something I’ve always wanted to do,” she said.
One of Kiara’s greatest weakness would be her levels of procrastination. She always leaves things to be done at the last moment, but tries to do her best to start doing things earlier, just so she doesn’t feel pressurized as due date gets closer.

She thanks everyone who has supported and motivated her.
