There is no dearth of actors in Bollywood who can go to any length to play their parts to perfection. We keep hearing about actors undergoing extreme body transformation for certain roles every now and then. Some even learn a local lingo to add authenticity to their characters, while others prefer to perform high-octane action sequences on their own.
The list of such actors now has a new addition. We are talking about immensely talented actress Hina Khan who can be currently seen in Hungama Play’s latest webseries Damaged 2. Also starring Adhyayan Suman in the central character, the webseries premiered on 14th January and received good response from viewers.
Her character in Damaged 2 required Hina Khan to smoke in a number of scenes. But since the actress is a non-smoker, it was indeed a challenging task for her. But to ensure that her character looks convincing and complete, Hina took on the challenge and turned to smoking to film those scenes.
“For somebody who runs away when someone smokes in the room – I am that kind of a person – I tell people not to smoke in the same room. I tell them to please go out and smoke. But I have, for this character, smoked for the first time ever and it was very difficult for a person like me. But Adhyayan and my director Ekant have really helped me and gave me an open choice that if I want to, I can choose to not smoke and manage to shoot it without that. But I was like if it is written, it must be written for some purpose. If it makes the character look more beautiful and more complete, I decided to do it. It was difficult but I managed to do it,” said Hina Khan while talking to a publication.
The actress will next be seen in her debut film Hacked which is slated to release on 7th February, 2020.
