Hina Khan recalls how meeting Priyanka Chopra made her so nervous that she almost didn’t attend Cannes party

While promoting her new song with Shaheer Sheikh, Hina Khan during an interview with RJ Siddharth Kannan recalled her Cannes experience. She said, “I didn’t even have a gown to wear. In fact, when I was again going to walk, I was not supported by the designers in India. But now, things have changed. Now people look at me in a different light. When my team approaches a certain designer, they do respond, in a positive manner.” Hina walked the red carpet at Cannes in 2019 and met Priyanka Chopra there as well.

She further added, “I had no idea… All I knew was that I was going to attend the trailer launch of my film. I didn’t have an understanding of how big things would get. But it became huge, and then I realised how big of a deal it is. And an even bigger deal for me was receiving a text message from Priyanka Chopra, and I decided I would not go. I was so nervous.”

Talking about how Priyanka made her feel at home, Hina had written in an Instagram post, “An unexpected invitation by a world star.. personally, after I gained consciousness and prepared myself to finally make it, I was still an outsider but only until you arrived. You didn’t need to, but still never left my hand for a second, introduced me to the people I probably wouldn’t have met and I felt as if all the achievements of my little career happening in fast forward as you present me as a star to each one of them. You somehow know everything ..as you mentioned my debut film and praised me for my hard work and appreciated me for the risks I have taken in my choices.”

Priyanka and Hina have shared a cordial relationship and have also expressed their gratitude to each other on social media ever since Hina’s Cannes debut in 2019. “Priyanka Chopra, I really like the way she picks these small, little things. I honestly don’t want to talk about it, but I want to add a little bit. She is such a busy woman, an entrepreneur, she is doing so many things. She sending me a text message after my father’s passing away, and such a long message. Not just a text message where you say ‘I am sorry, condolences’ and all,” Hina told Miss Malini.

Hina added, “because she understands what it is to lose a father. That was really special and heart-touching.”
