“I don't just pick up any project and do it for the heck of it,” says Hina Khan

Hina Khan is a force to reckon with in the entertainment industry. She began her journey by playing the female lead on Star Plus’ long-running show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and has come a long way ever since.

The actress was last seen in Ekta Kapoor’s much-talked-about show Kasautii Zindagii Kay. She had joined the cast to play the iconic character of Komolika. However, she had to opt out of the soap opera to pursue her film projects.


In an interview with a popular entertainment portal, Hina Khan revealed what led her to let go of her character Komolika in Kasautii Zindagii Kay. The actress said that when she takes up a character, she gives her heart and soul to it and with Komolika, she did just that.

“Goodbyes are always difficult, that too when you have given a lot to the character. I always give a lot to my character. I don't just pick up any project and do it for the heck of it. If I take up a character, I give my heart and soul to it and with Komolika, I did that. I added my own flavour, my own swag, and then gave my hashtag #KomoSwag, so it became very popular,” said the actress.

Hina went on to add, “But, I did work a lot on that character. There was a huge baggage on me. I knew it was not a fresh show. I knew that someone has made it so iconic and big, Urvashi, so it was a bigger challenge for me, stepping into the shoes of something like that and getting accepted, was not easy but fortunately, it worked out. However, I did not have the time and they instantly want to introduce Komolika in the show, it did not work out.”

The actress has a number of interesting projects on her platter, including a few films and web-shows. She is currently shooting for webseries Damaged 2.

The Radiohead London concert at the O2 Arena finally happened on Friday night. The last time the band played a UK show feels distant now, and the gap had grown in the build-up. People started arriving hours before doors opened. Some carried old tour merchandise, others looked like they had grown up and moved on with life, but still came back for this.
