The TV industry is huge. Many actors start their acting journey with serials. This actress, who turned heads in her debut, also started her career from TV. She became a household name and gained maximum popularity over time. We are talking about Hina Khan. The actress has turned a year older today and is truly a fighter. After being diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in June this year, the actress has spoken about her journey. Despite undergoing surgery, she has attended many events. However, did you know that Hina Khan's parents were initially against her acting career? Yes, you read that right!
It has been 15 years since Hina entered the showbiz industry. In the meantime, she has acted in many TV serials and films. She started her career with 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai', where she became a household name as 'Akshara'. However, her parents were never happy with her decision to pursue acting. The actress took this path against her will. While preparing to enter the acting world, her relationship with her family began to deteriorate.
In the film 'Humans of Bombay', Hina reflected on her journey in the industry. She wrote: “I come from an orthodox Kashmiri family where becoming an actor was never an option. My parents were hesitant to send me to Delhi for college, but somehow I convinced papa. So when a friend suggested me to audition for a serial, I said no. At the insistence, I tried out, and the casting directors loved me! The next day I was selected for the lead role.
Hina went to Mumbai without telling her parents
In the same episode, Hina shared: “I moved to Bombay without telling my parents—I was 20. The production team helped me find the location. It took me weeks to let Dad know and he was furious when I did. Mother's friends and relatives cut ties with us.
Hina auditioned for YRKKH and luckily landed the role of Akshara. She convinced her father on one condition: she had to complete her education. Eventually, her parents also came to Mumbai. Hina revealed that whenever she gets free time from shooting, she studies late into the night.
