Beauty Gossips: Hina Khan exposes her journey of "being the first actor in her family, dating someone out of the community"
Hina Khan featured on Humans of Bombay wherein she spoke at length about her
journey to showbiz.
Hina Khan is taken into account together of the highest actors on television.
She made her debut back n 2009 with the series Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. The
actor played the role of Akshara until 2016. Soon then, Hina became a
contestant on Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 8 and Bigg Boss 11. On both the
truth shows, she became the primary runner up but the winner of the people's
hearts. She has starred in three movies namely Smartphone, Hacked, and Unlock.
Now while narrating her story to Humans of Bombay, Hina spoke at length about
her journey from Srinagar to Mumbai. The actor stated, "I come from an
orthodox Kashmiri family were becoming an actor was never an option. My
parents were even hesitant to send me to Delhi for school but somehow, I
convinced Papa. So, when a lover suggested auditioning for a serial, I said
no.
Upon insistence, I gave it a go and therefore the casting directors loved me!
the subsequent day, I used to be selected for the lead role!
I moved to Bombay without telling my parents; i used to be 20. the assembly
people helped me find an area. It took me weeks to inform Papa. He was livid.
Mom's friends & relatives cut ties with us.
But by then, my serial had gained popularity. After weeks of cajoling, Papa
said, 'you can continue as long as you complete your studies.' Then, my
parents moved to Mumbai.
I'd shoot all night, study within the breaks, then fly to Delhi to offer my
exams. The family stress was constantly looming – I told Mom to not bother,
but it wasn't easy. We'd argue tons. But per annum, my serial was the amount 1
show; I fell crazy with the camera.
After eight years, Big Boss came my way. Initially, I had a 'no shorts, no
steamy scenes' policy but over time, i made a decision to form my very own
rules.
And just when my parents had gotten won't to me being an actor, I told them i
used to be seeing Rocky. It came as a shock; everybody in our family has had
arranged marriages. But I gave them time and now, they love him quite me!
After, TV offers poured in, but I took a risk & quit TV to try to movies.
I used to be thrilled once I debuted at the Cannes festival last year; I felt
so proud to represent India abroad. The way the whole film and television
industry came to my support, humbled me.
This year, I moved onto OTT platforms–the script demanded a kissing scene, so
I spoke to my parents. I said 'yes' only after they understood it had been
needed for the role; my movie became one of the most-watched films on the
platform.
It's been 11 years since I first faced the camera–the female child growing up
in Srinagar would've never imagined walking Cannes. But a series of
inauspicious choices have gotten me here. From Srinagar to Bombay, from being
the primary actor in my family to dating someone out of the community to
abandoning easy money at my peak, I've proudly carved my very own way."
