Everyone knows that I will come for this and I am a part of the Indian pavilion.”
Aishwarya Rai
Regarding not attending the India Pavilion event, Hina said – “Recently there was an opening ceremony and the event was taking place in the Indian Pavilion, there were not only Bollywood stars but also singers. There were many other well-known talented personalities besides her, but the elite system is still there. Hina further said – “It is not that I am jealous of them. Rather, I feel proud of them, and it breaks my heart to see why I was not there?” Hina Khan further said, ‘At least I could have been in the audience.’
