Hina Khan Disappointed On Not Being Invited To Cannes Opening Ceremony; Says It's Disheartening
Hina Khan is making heads turn at Cannes Film Festival, where the actress will be unveiling the poster of her Indo-English film Country Of Blind. Recently, in an interview with Film Companion, Hina expressed her disappointment for not being invited to the opening ceremony of the festival.
Hina
said
that
things
have
changed
for
her
in
the
industry
in
the
last
few
years,
especially
after
she
first
appeared
at
Cannes,
but
not
nearly
enough
has
happened
as
there
still
exists
differentiation
between
movie
stars
and
television
stars.
Pointing out that elitist attitude still exists in the industry, especially against television stars, the Kasuatii Zindagii Kay 2 actress mentioned that she would have liked to have attended the opening ceremony, even as an audience member, but wasn't invited.
She said, "Things did get a bit easier when it comes to work, meeting people, how they look at you, how they greet you, and the designer stuff that we wear... Of course, there are many who still have their reservations, but there are many who reached out to me and told me, 'We are not like others, you can reach out to us'. In terms of work, it's been different, it's been nice. I always look at the brighter side, but at the same time, it is tough as well... Sometimes, you might not be allowed to enter a certain space, so you have to create your own table..."
About the opening ceremony, Hina said that they all belong to the same industry and all belong to the entertainment business; they have all come to Cannes to represent India, and she is very excited to launch the poster of her film. She added that everyone knows that she is coming to launch the poster of her film and was very excited, but then came the news.
She concluded by saying, "There is an elitist system, this elitist game, which still exists. There was an opening ceremony that happened at the Indian pavilion. There was everyone, all the talents, my contemporaries, and not just from Bollywood. It's not that I envy them, I am so proud of them. But at the same time, it is a bit disheartening, why was I not there? Why was I not there? I could have been there, probably in the audience, at least, cheering for them when they were doing the Ghoomar. I loved the video, I felt so proud of my country."
