Didn’t get cast because I am dusky: Hina Khan on facing rejections

A well-known Indian TV actress Hina Khan has opened up about facing rejections in her career because of her dusky skin.

The actress, who gained popularity with her character Akshara in the serial ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’, revealed that she was rejected for a project where she had to play the role of a Kashmiri girl since her complexion is dusky.

During the interview, she said, that there are times where she probably did not like the story or she does not 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,” she asserted.

“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,” she maintained.

“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!” she added.
