Actor Hina Khan definitely needs no introduction where she has now not only carved a massive career on the small screen but also managed to make a mark in multiple films and web shows as well. Khan is also applauded for being one the few ones to witness a total image shift from being an on-screen docile bahu to becoming one of the most glamorous actors in the industry.

In fact, she recently made heads turn with her stylish look in the song, Main Bhi Barbaad but in a special interview with ETimes TV, she went on talk about how she faced rejections in her career and especially of this once instance when she was rejected owing to her complexion inspite of being authentic for the role of a Kashmiri girl.

She said, “There are times where I probably don’t like the story or I don’t want to do that kind of a character for the time being, but there also are times where you probably test for it, and you are very keen that it works, but it doesn’t work out for various reasons. 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. 

She added, "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 (laughs). I never lose hope, I don’t give up. I keep trying!”

As we know, apart from multiple feats on the small screen, Khan made her Bollywood debut with the film Hacked and she is now set to announce her upcoming Bollywood project soon.

Whatever said about Hina Khan, she really goes all out for what she wants. Doesn’t give up, keeps pushing. I love that, even though I find her quite OTT often ❤️
