Hina Khan's Interview

Hina Khan aka Akshara of ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ has a huge fan following. She is an extremely convinced, positive, intelligent girl. She certainly knows how to carry herself with a lot of dignity. It is very rare to find such a blend of beauty and brains and fortunately Hina is one of them. I spoke to Hina about her journey so far.

Tell us something about your journey from Srinagar to Mumbai?

Hmm I am not at all from a film family and frankly speaking I do not even have an acting background though I had always dreamt of taking up acting as a career. Right from the time when I was a tiny tot, I was very eager about acting. I should say that I am fortunate enough to have been singled out by producer Rajan Shahi to play the lead role in ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’.

How do you relate yourself with Akshara?
Hina is very shy, reserved and a very emotional kind of a person who does not like to share much about her personal life with others. I am totaly opposite to Akshara as she always depends upon others to make her personal decisions.

There are few similarities which make us similar and that are, I am shy, emotional, caring like Akshara. However, when it comes to Hina she does not bother about others but she respects her father's decision.

Would you like your show ‘Yeh Ristha Kya Kehlata Hai’ to last for a decade?
Yes I would love it(smiles).

What is your opinion on Rajan Shahi’s Statement ‘Retiring gracefully is an art’?
Ya...It’s great that you leave your great impact on people's heart before you retire. A very few people can do this. I think it’s true. ‘Jung jito ya haaro...Paar baas koshish ye ho ki agar aap haaro to shaan se aur agar jeeto to shaan se, as a victory king'. It is an art, if you know you can't survive with the changing trend in the market then its better to back off and save the reputation you have built up over the years;)

If given an opportunity would you do a Swayamwar like Rakhi and Rahul?
No never... Marriage is a beautiful and sacred institution. I will never insult it like these freaks did just for the sake of getting publicity. I don’t want to criticize Rakhi or Rahul for Swayamwar it’s their personal decision.


What are your expectations from yourself and industry?
That I strive hard and entertaining my fans till the end of my life. I expect that the industry will always remember my work!

Any plans to enter in Bollywood?
Well not now, but i have plans to enter Bollywood soon. For that I am working on my physique, learning dancing, polishing my acting skills and doing many more things.

Are you seeing someone?
Hmm...not really (smiles)

Any message to your fans?
I want to thank all my fans for their love and appreciation. I will try my best to live in their hearts forever. Thanks a lot for all their wishes and love they have given me. Keep supporting me :)
