While Hina's social media accounts are flooded with praises and wishes from her fans and colleagues, a journalist recently mocked the actress for being a TV star and making it to Cannes Film Festival. The journalist posted an Instagram story stating quiet an offensive remark for the actress as he wrote,"Cannes has suddenly become Chandivali studios kya?" However, TV fraternity, who is obviously proud of the shining star, took to social media to bash him for his insensitive remark, post which the journalist apologised to Hina in an Instagram story. Ishqbaaaz Star Nakuul Mehta Thanks Journalist Jitesh Pillai for Shaking the Collective Conscience of the Entertainment World

Recently, Ishqbaaz actor Nakuul Mehta, who never shies away from voicing his opinions, took to the micro-blogging site to post an open letter, addressing to the journalist. He wrote, "The silver lining of that uncalled for remark you made is that for the first time a lot of us collectively stood up and made out voices heard. It hit home. You got a lot of us engaging in a dialogue and coming out in support of a colleague who on her own merit has blazed new trails. Thank you, if for nothing else but for shaking our collective conscience to wake up and stand up for the respect our work demands." Hina Khan Has a Heartfelt Message for Priyanka Chopra About Her Experience at Cannes 2019; Here’s What the Actress Has to Say (View Pics)
