While there is no denial to the fact that TV actors are often judged and discriminated from Bollywood actors, the scenario seems to be changing with audiences and the industry folk too, becoming more accepting of TV actors. However, popular TV actor Hina Khan has said that she has often been judged because of her TV roots.
Calling it the caste system of Bollywood, Hina reveals that the industry folks including celebrated designers and production houses do not give an equal and fair opportunity to TV actors.

In her recent interaction with PTI, the former Bigg Boss contestant has said, “There is a class system in the film industry. Be it anything — the big designers or the productions banners — I have been judged so many times because of my TV background. People from the industry don’t even give us an opportunity. We are equally talented. I don’t know if one film can make a difference because it is tough to get noticed. I have faced a lot because of the tag of a TV actor. People told me things like, ‘You are a television actor, you won’t be able to pull off the character’.”
