Hina Khan, who is exploring other sides of her personalit­y, recently acted in a short film and has also walked the ramp for various shows. The actor, who hasn’t zeroed in on her next TV project, is open to anchoring shows as well as acting on the big screen. “I’m open to all genres and mediums as long as what I am doing is something different from the past and doubles the challenge. I’d love to experiment in films, be it Hindi or even regional.” says Hina. Excerpts from an interview.

Have you received any film offers yet?

Yes, there have been movie offers coming in post Bigg Boss and I would love to be a part of them. But again, there’s a lot to consider before picking up a project.

Does the approach to craft differ from one medium to another?

Once you are an actor, you will always remain an actor and hence the craft will never change. It’s just the medium and characters that keep changing.

Do you have a wish list of people you want to work with in movies?

I really want to work with Naseeruddi­n Shah sir, Amitabh Bachchan sir, Prakash Raj, Manoj Bajpayee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and my most favourite, Irrfan Khan. I also wish him a speedy recovery and pray for him.

Besides acting, whose style sensibilit­ies do you admire?

I like Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, they both are fashionist­as. I like Kangana Ranaut for her swag, she’s so full of it. I call her the swag lady.

Do you think content on television still needs to revamp? What according to you is an underexplo­red genre or concept on Indian GECs?

TV is doing just fine catering to the masses who are in the interior villages. Web series have opened up a new market, which caters more to the urban and internatio­nal audience, and there’s some very interestin­g content being made in the digital realm. We are yet to see the fantasy or political genres, shows such as House Of Cards or even Game Of Thrones on Indian TV or the digital world here.
