MUMBAI: Hina Khan is doing great for herself. The actress, who is known for TV soaps like Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 and Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, made her debut at Cannes 2019.

Yes, after wooing the audience of TV, she has stepped into the world of cinema, and it is her film that took her to the Cannes.  The actress attended Cannes 2019 for the poster launch of her upcoming film, Lines. For her red carpet walk, she wore a gorgeous grey heavily embellished and stonework gown with a plunging neckline, long trail and dramatic sleeves by designer Ziad Nakad. Her fans and friends from the industry showered her with praises for her gorgeous look.   

However, her Cannes debut also turned into a controversial story as Filmfare Editor Jitesh Pillai commented something on her picture which did not go down well with Hina’s fans and industry friends. For the uninitiated, the Editor had taken to Instagram and shared a picture of Hina posing at Cannes 2019 red carpet with a caption that read, “Cannes has suddenly become Chandivali studios kya?” Eventually, he apologised for his comment and the actress too accepted his apology.

He captioned the open letter as, "Dear @jiteshpillaai ,Thank you ... CC: @eyehinakhan.
