Actress Hina Khan, currently undergoing treatment for stage 3 breast cancer, has opened up about a shocking incident from her career. She revealed that she was initially cast as the female lead in Imtiaz Ali’s film Laila Majnu but was replaced by Triptii Dimri at the last minute due to her skin tone. According to Hina, the filmmakers did not find her "Kashmiri enough" for the role.
In a recent revelation, Hina shared that she had secured the lead role opposite Avinash Tiwary in the 2018 romantic drama but was later dropped because of her wheatish complexion. Despite being of Kashmiri origin herself, she was deemed unsuitable for the character, with the makers opting for a fairer actress instead. This decision reportedly left Hina heartbroken, but she chose to move on rather than dwell on the rejection.
When Laila Majnu was initially released in 2018, it struggled at the box office. However, its re-release in 2024 sparked renewed interest, turning the film into an unexpected success. Theatres saw packed audiences, and the movie was hailed as an 'underrated gem,' even surpassing some new theatrical releases.
Despite her ongoing battle with cancer, Hina continues to balance her treatment and professional commitments. She was recently seen in the television series Griha Laxmi, where she portrayed a compelling transformation from a homemaker to a powerful figure in the drug underworld. Her resilience in both personal and professional life has earned her admiration from fans and industry peers alike.
