Television actress Hina Khan who recently made her debut in Bollywood with ‘HACKED’ this year, is ready to be seen in Naagin 5 soon. Hina has done a show on StarPlus for 8 years and after that, she was seen in Bigg Boss 11. After Bigg Boss her game changed, she admitted in a conversation with TOI.
As reported and confirmed, Hina is a part of another season of Naagin. When she was asked about her return to television with Naagin 5, she said, “Actually, I was focussing more on films and digital shows, and it was all going well. I even had two releases (on OTT platforms) during the lockdown, while talks are on for other projects. But then, Ekta Kapoor came into my life and dropped the bomb! She is not someone who will ask you whether you want to play this role, she just tells you (laughs!).”
Actress added that she shares a good rapport with Ekta Kapoor and she’s doing a web series for her too. “When she mentioned ‘Naagin’ to me, I told her that I didn’t want to do television, but she said that it’s just for one season, and I could do it for some time,” said Hina.
Hina shared her views about Indian television that existed 20 years back versus now. She said, “As a viewer, I don’t watch much TV, because honestly, the content does not interest me. Unfortunately, what we have on television is regressive, it’s not empowering. It’s sad when women are insulted and treated badly, and such shows are watched and also liked by people.”
She further said that the television industry had good content 20 years ago, and also some good comedies but those won’t be liked by the audience now.
