We brought you this story 4 days ago, with full details (Colors Wants Hina Khan To Switch Loyalties From Star India, Dec 10).
Now, we are the first to bring you that Hina has decided NOT to do the Colors' version of Chandrakanta.
We hear, the offer didn't appeal to her enough to jump on to another show in a span of less than 14 days.
A source says, "It's just been 2 weeks that Hina stopped shooting for Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. She wants to take rest unless and until the offer is radically different from her earlier work. She is not at all in a hurry to have something in her kitty. She knows that she will have many offers even around February/March, which is when she actually plans to return on the sets."
When contacted a few minutes ago, Hina said that she has politely turned down Colors' offer. "I am not doing Chandrakanta," she told SpotboyE.com.
Only recently, Hina had categorically mentioned in an exclusive interview with SpotboyE.com that she would rather take a break and do something different (Hina Khan: Fans have threatened to kill themselves if I quit Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Nov 25). "It (the shoot of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai) was taking a toll on my health; of late, I was down with dengue and kidney stones. I want a break for 2-3 months, the producer (Kut Productions, Rajan Shahi) and the channel (Star Plus) suggested that I go on a sabbatical and then come back--- lekin ab nahi, bahut monotonous ho gaya tha. They had shown me in every character and shade, Akshara's journey was over," she categorically said.
Clearly, Colors' Chandrakanta was NOT that 'something different' which Hina was looking for.
Star India and Life OK need not spend sleepless nights that Hina will counter attack their show from the arch-rival's camp. Are they heaving a sigh of relief?
