Hina Khan, who shot to prominence with her Television show “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai", will next be seen in a psychological thriller called “Hacked”. The actress, however, has faced a social media backlash by actor-producer and film reviewer Kamaal R Khan (KRK) who wonders how anyone could cast Hina in their film.
In a Twitter post, he wrote that was shocked to learn someone has made a film with Hina Khan and that she would be the only one to watch it..
Khan’s post didn’t go down well with TV actor and Bollywood producer Karanvir Bohra, a friend of Hina's. He replied to Khan’s tweet by saying that “Hina Khan must be applauded [for] the fact that she has come here by her own effort and god's grace".
Hina too replied to Bohra’s tweet and stated that every project and fan she has made so far is by sheer hard work and and that matters to her and “not PR brokers”.
Hina’s reply received a thumbs up from netizens, who advised her to overlook KRK’s comments.
“Hacked” talks about a young boy’s obsession with an older girl and how he gets into her life by hacking her social media account. The film is set to be released on 7 February.
