Actress Hina Khan's transformation from

Khatron Ke Khiladi and

Smart Phone is diverse. The actress shared her first look from the short film, in which she co-stars with Kunal Roy Kapur and Akshay Oberoi and said: "Transformation of a butterfly is the story of change and beauty. As an actor we get to add one more phase, versatility." In
