“We Spoke A Lot, We Shared A Lot”, Says Hina Khan On Meeting Priyanka Chopra At Cannes
Hina Khan is on cloud nine and she has every reason to be so. Her Cannes debut plus her first meeting with Priyanka Chopra proved to be like an icing on the cake. The actress elaborated on the experience at a recent event
Hina Khan’s Cannes debut grabbed good attention and the actress even earned support from her well-wishers and industry folks when the Filmfare editor Jitesh Pillai criticized her. The actress very calmly gave it back to the man and even earned support from Priyanka Chopra, who not only invited her for the after-party, but also put up pictures, displaying that she is all for women empowerment.
At brand Ayesha event, naturally, everybody was curious to know the thoughts running through the actress’ mind at the moment, considering everything happened like a dream. Elaborating on her Cannes debut and meeting with Priyanka Chopra, Hina said, “It was my dream to represent India and also represent the TV industry and do something outside my comfort zone. So, that is what I did. It was a very proud moment for me and the kind of response I received from India and internationally and even all you guys, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
When asked about the criticism and the subsequent support she received from people around her, Hina said, “I think this is for the first time that aisa kuch hua hai that everyone was united and I did not put out anything and I did not put out anything because I thought it's not necessary to react. For me, my pride, my happiness was more important. So, I was like let it be. But then, how everyone picked it up and it became something else only. Everyday I used to get up and see 10-20 people tweeting for me, people I never met, people I don't know. Maine kuch unke liye kiya nahi hai, lekin fir bhi log aage aaye. That shows ki abhi bhi hamari industry mein ekta hai, achche kaam ko aaj bhi taareef milti hai.”
