Sidharth Malhotra publicly praises Kiara Advani’s performance in the film *Toxic* amid online trolling and backlash tied to intimate scenes between Kiara and co-star Yash. The reactions come as promotional activity continues for the movie.

According to NDTV, Sidharth’s remarks frame Kiara’s work as standout, even as negative commentary circulates online. The outlet also reports that Yash supports Kiara during the film’s trailer launch in Bengaluru on Saturday, adding to the public-facing response from the cast.

While both reports focus on the same controversy and cast responses, they emphasize different elements: Sidharth’s positive assessment of Kiara’s performance versus Yash’s support at the trailer launch. Together, they portray a coordinated effort by multiple leading actors to address criticism surrounding the film’s content as interest builds ahead of release.
