Hina Khan reveals she was REJECTED for the Kashmiri girl’s role due to her ‘dusky’ skin: says, ‘I really felt bad’

Actor Hina Khan who rose to fame after starring in Yeh Rishta Kehlata Hai is one of the popular and the biggest actors in the Telly world. The actor has proved her acting prowess by featuring in some acclaimed projects. However, even Hina has faced some difficulties during her filmy career. Speaking about the same, Hina Khan revealed that she was being rejected for a role of a Kashmiri girl despite being a Kashmiri herself. The reason behind the rejection was her dusky complexion.  

In an interview with TOI, Hina 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 are 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.”

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