Hina Khan is one of the most renowned actresses on Indian Television. The actress rose to fame post her stint in the popular show Ye Rishta kya Kehlata hai is Akshara and was equally loved for her appearance in reality shows like Khatron Ke Khiladi and Bigg Boss.
Well, Hina Khan who is at the peak of her career right now got in a conversation with a leading media portal and spoke about the rejections she has had to go through. The actress said that there are times when as an actor she did not want to do certain characters or she did not like certain stories. But there have also been times when the actress herself was rejected from roles she was keenly looking forward to.
Talking about one such role, the actress said, that she had once auditioned for a role of a Kashmiri girl. However, the actress was rejected because of her dusky complexion and that she wasn’t ‘fair enough’ to look Kashmiri. Hina, who herself is a Kashmiri and has a hold on the language too was disheartened post this rejection. The actress said, “I can’t talk about the project, but I remember I could not crack a project because I didn’t look Kashmiri enough. I am Kashmiri and I can fluently speak the language but I didn’t get cast because my complexion is dusky and I am not extremely fair. That’s what the team and character demanded. I really felt bad. When you know the language so well, probably you could have worked wonders in that character, but I didn’t get cast only because I don’t look Kashmiri.”
