Hina Khan opens up about entering films after TV; says, “I really looked up to Sushant Singh Rajput”

Hina Khan has paved her way from television to Bollywood. The actress recently revealed that she has had her share of struggle while entering Bollywood, but late actor Sushant Singh Rajput has been her inspiration all the way as she believes that he paved the way for all television actors.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Hina spoke about her struggle in Bollywood after being part of the television industry. “I won’t deny that there is a struggle. We don’t have opportunities and have to find them and perhaps it is too much hard work. After doing 10 shows, your work may be noticed in one of them. You have to literally work you’re a** off just to be noticed by a good producer or a director. That doesn’t happen with people who are privileged or have a bank of 7-10 films. If one doesn’t work out, they still have the next project or next of next. We don’t really have that opportunity.”

She further added, “If you have a television background, you are looked down upon. You are not given the opportunity you deserve just because you come from the TV industry. This is extremely sad. We may be able to perform better than anyone else but we don’t get the opportunity. I wish there was a balance.”

Talking about Sushant being her inspiration she said, “Some of the TV actors have made it big in Bollywood but they also had their own struggle. The tag of an outsider is always with you. And how many of them have made it big? I really looked up to Sushant, he made way for all of us. Now I don’t know, it scares me even more, I wish there was a balance – if a star kid was given an opportunity in 5-6 films, maybe we were given 3. That doesn’t happen, it‘s just one-sided. I wish talented outsiders and TV actors are given an opportunity in films.”

Hina’s last film ‘Unlock’ released on Zee5.
