After
having
ruled
on
television
for
more
than
a
decade,
Hina
Khan
made
her
big-screen
debut
in
Vikram
Bhatt-directed
Hacked
earlier
this
year.
However,
the
film
didn’t
perform
well
at
the
box
office
but
was
later
released
on
an
OTT
platform.
The
actress
recently
opened
up
about
her
Bollywood
debut
and
why
it
performed
badly
at
the
ticket
window
but
ended
up
being
one
of
the
most-watched
movies
online
during
the
lockdown.
Hina
was
quoted
by
HT
as
saying,
“Recently
Kareena
(Kapoor
Khan)
spoke
up
about
nepotism
and
said
quite
bluntly,
'If
people
feel
there
is
so
much
nepotism,
then
don’t
watch
our
films’.
I
agree
that
it’s
the
audiences,
who
decide
what
they
want
to
watch-
be
it
movies
of
star
kids
or
newcomers
or
others.
We
make
so
much
effort
to
get
our
movies
into
theatres
but
if
we
don’t
get
enough
audiences,
then
blaming
nepotism
doesn’t
help.”
She
went
on
to
add,
“People
didn’t
watch
my
debut
film
Hacked
in
theatres,
because
it
didn’t
star
a
big
star’s
daughter.
Hacked
was
one
of
the
top-most
watched
films
during
the
lockdown
on
OTT.
I
want
to
urge
the
audiences
to
give
us
a
chance
to
make
it
a
level
playing
field.
Bollywood
mafia
insider-outsider-
these
debates
will
end
if
audiences
give
us
equal
opportunities.”
On
being
quizzed
about
the
boom
in
digital
consumption
amid
the
shutting
down
of
theatres,
the
actress
replied,
“I
feel
for
the
considerable
future,
digital
will
rule
and
I
am
very
happy
with
the
opportunities
I
have
been
getting.
People
have
responded
to
my
acting
and
commented
that
they
have
seen
growth
in
my
performance
and
so
have
I.”
