Television actor Hina Khan and renowned producer Sandiip Sikcand got into a war of words on Instagram today. It all began when 'Pavitra Rishta' fame Ankita Lokhande had a feud with rapper Khanzadi in the Bigg Boss 17 house. Khandazi taunted Ankita for being a TV actor and in return, she hit back with some taunts and mentioned that she's getting footage on the show just because of a TV actor. Ankita's over-dramatic love for TV didn't go well with Sandiip, who rigorously follows the reality show. He said, "I have a complete headache, please stop speaking. All these 'TV actors' who are suddenly talking about their love for TV and their profession. I wonder where that love and professionalism go when they dole out 3 and 4 hours (out of the agreed 12 hours) for shooting, when they demand changes in the script, or when they make strange demands on the dialogues."

He then continued, "At the end of the day, if they sign a film or even an advertisement, TV commitments go straight out the window. Therefore my request is to kindly SHUT UP! There are very few actors who really respect and accept TV and they never feel the need to shout or make a fuss about it. The loudest voice is not always the truth."

His remark didn't sit well with popular TV actress Hina Khan who took a be at him in her Instagram stories. In a series of stories, Hina wrote, Hina wrote,'' YOU ALL ARE VERY WELL AWARE THAT I DON'T INDULGE MYSELF IN ANYTHING RELATED TO BB..THE FOLLOWING STORY IS NOT ABOUT BB, IT'S ABOUT MY RESPECT TO MY FELLOW ACTORS AND FRATERNITY.

5 Questions:

1. We have seen Pavitra Rishta's successful run for many, many years. When did Pavitra Rishta's telecast repeat because of ANKITA?

No 2. In a factory-like creative arrangement, how many years would u survive as a lead?

No 3. Can u, with all sincerity post the same questions to film stars who work on film to film, repeat film to film and still only work according to thr whims and fancies which i believe they have earned over the years just like actors in television?

No 4. How long would you seek two minute fame at the expense of the people from your own friterty, who by all means are standing up for our friternity?

No 5. Who made you the representative and or the president or the mouthpiece of the entire television industry?"

Hina Khan further wrote, "On an Indian television set which has in most cases episodes to telecast minimum 5 and maximum 7 days a week, everyone has a backup in case of an illness or unforeseen circumstances, everyone that is, except the Actor. Once cast, the Actor is indispensable and must make it to the set, come what may until you replace them or kill them off. The relentless cycle of working 10-12 hours daily, day and night, on the same project year after year as an Actor is something you haven't experienced firsthand, and probably, never will. Actors from Indian Television faint, go through depression, fall ill yet have given closes from the Hospital and sometimes while they're just out of a surgery or have lost their dear ones or when they're in a cast of plaster and are immobile. But they show up.. Everyone wants to grow and work efficiently over quantitative expectations just like you, because that Sir is Exploitation! So please get down of your high horse and yes don't forget to Kindly Shut Up! This 2 minute fame shall be enough for you this year.. cheers."


"Disagreements and differences, both creatively and logistically, are inevitable among people on sets. ..but it's not about who's right or wrong, sometimes it can b an actor and sometimes others...it's always a two way street. Every individual, whether a Creative, Producer, Actor, Technician or Crew member, deserves due respect. However, biases solely against the Actor, as an attempt to belittle them, must be called out and discouraged. This becomes even more critical when it is evidently an attempt to garner cheap publicity and fame. It's important and necessary to recognize when our actions fall beneath our dignity'', she concluded.


Later, Sandiip took an indirect jibe at Hina by writing in his Instagram story, "Thank you for extending my 2minute fame to 4 minutes - much appreciated. A lot of my friends & followers want me to respond but I really dont bark back at people who bark at me - just not my style. As a viewer, I will continue with my opinions and people with no jobs can find new jobs by responding to them. As they say, water off the ducks back #getalife ."


Well, this heated argument has grabbed many eyeballs on social media. What do you think about it?
