Mrs actor, Kanwaljit Singh's wife, Anooradha Patel shares an uncanny resemblance with Kiara Advani: Here's how they're connected as a family

Kanwaljit Singh's wife, Anooradha Patel was one of the most stunning actresses of her era, and even today, she looks way younger than most of the women of her age. A lot of its credit goes to the strict fitness regime that she follows. One look at the pictures from Anooradha Patel's younger days, and you'll find an uncanny resemblance between her and Bollywood actress, Kiara Advani. The two actresses share a sheer resemblance because they are also connected as a family. According to a report in the Hindustan Times, Kiara Advani is the daughter of Genevieve Advani, whose father was Hameed Jaffrey.

Kiara Advani's maternal grandfather, Hameed Jaffrey's second wife, was Bharati Ganguly (Anooradha Patel's mother), who was Ashok Kumar's daughter. As a result, Kiara Advani is Ashok Kumar's step-great-granddaughter, and Anooradha Patel is her step-aunt. Although their family relationship sounds too complex and far-fetched on paper, Anooradha and Kiara are often spotted hanging out together, which speaks volumes about the entire family.
