TV actors don’t get fair chance in Bollywood: Hina Khan
Hina Khan has carved a space in the entertainment industry, but she feels it is not easy for a TV star to make it big in films.
From starring in the TV show “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai” for eight years to foray into Bollywood and the digital space, actress Hina Khan has carved a space in the entertainment industry. She feels it is not easy for a TV star to make it big in films.
“Sushant Singh Rajput’s journey inspired me a lot. I look up to him for so many things. He made a place for himself in Indian cinema with his hard work. We, outsiders, do not have godfathers, what we want is a little bit of respect and recognition. So, a proper balance should prevail,” she said.
“I don’t know why people in India look down upon TV actors. I remember how international designers helped me instead of Indian designers, during my Cannes debut. In the West, TV actors are treated with dignity, but it is the opposite here. Many people here do not want to work with us. I don’t understand the reason behind it. Are we beneath them or are they insecure of our talent? I hope things change in our industry as soon as possible,” Hina emphasised.
She says it is high time to appreciate talented artistes irrespective of their medium.
