Hina even made a debut at the Cannes Film Festival last year, following which there was criticism about her appearance from sections of the media. "For me, I always mentioned things change because I hit the Cannes (red) carpet. I set an example for television. It became huge news and then other things happened. The whole industry came together and fought for me. But why are we looked down upon? I just don't get it," she said.
Hina, who rose to fame with her performance as Akshara in the show "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai", added: "I walked the carpet and some stupid comparison is done. Why? Had it been some film star's son or daughter it wouldn't have happened. It gives a clear sign that they look down upon us."
