Despite these successes, Rathod encountered unexpected challenges in his career. Her personal life started to become a topic of rumours, which portrayed an inaccurate picture. It was reported that she suffered a setback in her career in the film industry due to false accusations regarding her marital status and her having multiple children. Her professional abilities appeared to be overshadowed by these false rumours, which resulted in an apparent decline in film offers.
Known for her charm and screen presence, Kiran enjoyed a brief period as a leading actress, receiving multiple offers during that time. However, her stint as a leading lady didn’t last long, and she later transitioned to supporting roles.
In 2023, she participated in the reality show ''
Big Boss Telugu Season 7''.
