Hina Khan Says Bollywood Celebs See TV Actors As 'Mazdoors', They Tell Us We Over-Act
Hina Khan opened up about why she feels television actors deserve immense respect because of how hard-working they are. "It¡¯s sad because these are the same people who literally use us and our platform to promote their own projects. TV has the maximum reach. It shows how there¡¯s a lot of classism and class divide that exists between the two industries," said Hina Khan.
From playing the lead in the hit television show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai for eight straight years to being one of Bigg Boss's most beloved contestants followed by acting in a few films and web-shows, Hina Khan has achieved true stardom on her own terms and without the help or assistance of any godfather.
But, Hina Khan still feels that no matter how much great work television actors do, Bollywood celebrities will continue to look down upon them.
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Hina Khan opened up about why she feels television actors deserve immense respect because of how hard-working they are.
"It¡¯s sad because these are the same people who literally use us and our platform to promote their own projects. TV has the maximum reach. It shows how there¡¯s a lot of classism and class divide that exists between the two industries," said Hina Khan.
"TV actors are looked at as mazdoors, they work their a** off, do double shifts every day almost. They always tell us that we act over the top. But that¡¯s the demand of our audience. Give us a chance and let us prove ourselves. We can do the subtle acting, too," Hina Khan said.
Hina Khan also spoke about how fashion designers refused to design clothes for her Cannes appearance simply because she was a television celebrity.
"A lot of Indian designers didn¡¯t want to give me clothes and that was the sad reality. I had to opt for designers abroad and they love me. They are always messaging me and appreciating me. They don¡¯t do these discriminations," shared Hina Khan.
When exactly will this blind worshipping of Bollywood in our country stop?
