Hina: If I have to work with Shilpa Shinde, I will be okay; I can work with my enemies, too

Hina Khan and Shilpa Shinde’s rivalry over winning the final of season 11 of Bigg Boss is known to everybody. However, Shilpa emerged as the winner of the show. Hina who is currently on a break post Bigg Boss was asked by a leading Indian daily about Shilpa.

Hina said, “If I have to work with Shilpa, I will be okay. I am very professional, I can work with my enemies, too. My habit of forgetting everything is a good quality. Also, none of the contestants are my enemies. Shilpa and I are different people and so is our approach towards life. I won’t be judgmental by saying whose is good or bad. If I bump into her, I am definitely going to say hello to her, hug her and ask how she is doing.”


Talking about Hina’s rising popularity after her stint in Bigg Boss, Hina said, “I feel that people relate to me even more now. My fan base has changed and it comprises more educated people. The feedback that I am getting has left me surprised. While trying to be real on reality TV, I forgot that I had to play a game. Mujhe politically correct hona nahi aata hai. People shouldn’t expect me to behave like the character (Akshara) that I played, it doesn’t work like that in real life. Akshara will be remembered for what she was, par kabhi toh real Hina saamne aayegi na (but at some point, the real Hina will come out in front of the audience). You can like or dislike me. You are entitled to form an opinion about me and I don’t fear being judged. I am blessed that I quickly forget things. I have no memory of Bigg Boss.”
