Hina Khan, who was in Ahmedabad recently to walk the ramp at the Ahmedabad Times Fashion Week, had a great time at the event. She tells us, “I didn’t know that this prestigious event was happening in Gujarat for the first time and walking the ramp was a great experience. The crowd was super energetic, and it was received well. I have been to Ahmedabad several times, including to promote my TV shows, and I have always felt a special connection with the people of Gujarat because they have always showered me with a lot of love.”
The Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Kasautii Zindagii Kay and Naagin 5 actress, who was the runner-up in Khatron Ke Khiladi 8 and Bigg Boss 11, visited Cannes earlier this year and it was her second appearance at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival (she made her Cannes debut in 2019). Talking about the experience of attending the prestigious festival, which happened after a two-year gap due to the pandemic, Hina shares, “As compared to 2019, everything was more decked up and that was expected. Aisa lag raha tha ki koi mela chal raha hai udhar! People couldn’t go and watch world cinema for two years and so, everyone was really keen to attend it this time. There were so many people on the red carpet this time! Many people who attend the festival regularly told me that they haven’t seen anything like this before. Everyone had a great time and it was a fun experience.”
She adds, “Also, I was better prepared this time and I knew what I was going to do there. Even in 2019, I received a lot of love for my red carpet appearance and it had added to my popularity in a big way. This time, we did a lot of research and preparation about what I was going to wear and how I was going to present myself. We put in a lot of effort and I felt satisfied with the overall experience.”
