Hina Khan on moving from Akshara’s character

Hina Khan is synonymous with Star Plus’ long-running show ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’, in which she played the role of Akshara for eight years. Recently, she has jumped ship to reality shows on Colors including ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’ and ‘Bigg Boss 11’.

The actress has now said that her Akshara days are well behind her and that she is focusing on the future. She was cited in Times Of India saying, “I was standing in the garden and suddenly heard the famous song of Yeh Rishta play (Dil Se Bandhi Ek Dor). I was surprised and was amused as well to see how my relationship with the song is never-ending. I was so happy and nostalgic and went inside the house and told the housemates about it, I was really happy and extremely overjoyed.”

Asked if she missed Akshara, she said, “No, I don’t miss the character of Akshara but I cherish it. I will cherish it all my life. Leaving Akshara was a conscious decision of my life and I was well prepared. When you are well prepared, then you don’t miss but you cherish it for a lifetime. It is the character that has made me. Akshara is in my heart and I will always cherish it. It is a special character and will always remain special but I have moved on now.”

She also said would like to work with the team of the fiction again. She stated, “Nothing could be better than that. They know me in and out, I know them in and out. I literally forget everything and trust me that’s the best thing that you can have. Though we did part ways on a good note, I could see that Rajan sir was unhappy and sad with my decision. He loved me and treated me like his daughter and did not want me to leave but that was my decision of moving on.”

“I do forget things and I am like that guys. It becomes easy for me to work with people again. I let bygones be bygones and guys BB game is over now. After six months if Arshi, Puneesh, Akash for that matter Shilpa, Vikas meet and talk about any BB issue, I’ll be like did this really happen. I take my forgetfulness in a positive stride because I also forget the problems,” she concluded.
