Kiara admitted that the experience was particularly difficult for her. However, she believes stepping out of her comfort zone for Toxic will make it a career-defining experience.

The actress also addressed the criticism she faced over her romantic and intimate scene with Yash in the film. Revealing husband Sidharth Malhotra's reaction, Kiara said, "He has not cared about it. He never brought it up." She further clarified that the couple never discussed the scene, adding, "We have never spoken about it. It didn't affect him. He was not bothered."

Kiara also spoke about the online backlash, saying she noticed several people calling out the hypocrisy surrounding the criticism. Seeing those reactions, she did not feel the need to respond to the controversy.

Toxic held special significance for Kiara as it marked her first film release after becoming a mother. The actress and her husband, Sidharth, welcomed their daughter, Saraayah, in July 2025. Kiara had also spoken about how she continued shooting for the film during her pregnancy, with director Geetu Mohandas and co-star Yash supporting her throughout the journey. The film therefore marked an important phase in both her personal and professional life as she returned to the big screen after embracing motherhood. Kiara and Sidharth are now expecting their second child, having announced the pregnancy in October 2026.
