Hina Khan's journey at Cannes was tiring yet worth it; went thinking 'wahan jaake aag lagani hai'

After attending the Cannes Film Festival in 2019, actress Hina Khan made a comeback to the French Riviera this year for the poster launch of her upcoming Indo-English film, 'Country of Blind'. The stunning actresa at the festival captivated the audience with her sartorial choices one after the other.

"This time Cannes was tiring yet worth it" Hina Khan said of her second outing at the just finished Cannes Film Festival. She continued, “It was fun and energetic and a lot more preparation was put in than the last time. As the festival was happening after two years in a normal manner and there were so many people from all over the world that attended. It felt like a mela. My 2019 visit was magical but this year too it was wonderful.”

The actress admitted that she felt a lot of pressure to look good on the red carpet. She revealed she was nervous because previous red carpet looks had been amazing, beautiful, and well-received. Furthermore, knowing that there were so many celebrities present this time added to the pressure. She aimed to look different from the last time and chose a dramatic look. But she went on to tell that she also realised that it was about her personal charisma, and that her thought was wahan jaake aag lagni hai.

Apart from her fashion sense, Khan made headlines for her comments on not being at the India Pavilion. In an interview, she expressed disappointment that she was unable to attend the inaugural event.

She said, “I got so much love and support from people on social media, even from the media and celebs. People stood up for me, thought the idea was not that I want anyone to stand up for me. It wasn’t planned. I was asked a question and I spoke up. As an actor, I have been vocal about things and I always will be. I wasn’t there for a TV show but a film poster launch, so I didn’t understand why this happened. Next year, things might be better. Change might be slow but I do see some change happening. I have to say, post the interview, I was invited at the India Pavilion and even Madhavan’s film but it was the day of my walk and I had to skip.”
