One of the senior journalists made a comment about her appearance and said, “Has Cannes become Chandivali Studios?” This comment received severe backlash from people all across the TV fraternity as well some Bollywood celebrities too commented on it. 

Actors like Nakuul Mehta, Karanvir Bohra, Arjun Bijlania and producer Ekta Kapoor spoke in support of Hina. 

Hina responded on the topic much later. In a conversation in a media house, the Wish List  actress said, “Coming from somebody sitting at such a huge position, it was disheartening. I did feel bad, I won’t deny it. I did feel that it was not necessary. It felt bad not just for myself that I have put in a lot of effort but for the person as well that it was not required. You are what you are. You don’t need it.”
