Hina Khan Was Set To Be Chandrakanta But Ekta Kapoor Turned Her Down!

Hina Khan, reigned as one of TV's most popular faces for more than seven years with her turn in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. Then in October 2016, she announced that she is quitting the show, much to her fans dismay.

Since then Hina's fans have been waiting for her return to the small screen. We can now tell you that Hina would have been back on TV if Ekta Kapoor had not played spoilsport.

Hina, who played Akshara in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, was approached by Colors for the lead role in the fantasy series and the modalities were being worked



out.

But then came the news that Hina will not be a part of the show. So, what went wrong?

 It was Ekta who vetoed Hina's casting. Ekta was of the opinion that the audience was so used to seeing Hina as Akshara, the doting mother of two children, that they will not be able to accept her as a fantasy temptress.

Of course, TV czarina Ekta's decision was the final one and the channel started scouting for talent once again.

They approached Jamai Raja star Nia Sharma and Digangana Suryavanshi and they are still waiting for their leading lady.
