Hina Khan on an obsessive fan: I have blocked him so many times, but he keeps coming back

After making a mark on the television with shows like Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Bigg Boss, and Kasautii Zindagi Kay, Hina Khan is now all set to rule Bollywood. The actress will be making her big-screen debut with the film Hacked. The film revolves around hacking and obsession.


We recently met Hina and asked her if she has come across any obsessed fan and if she has faced any experience that scared her. To which the actress said, “Yes, twice or thrice. There was this guy who used to call me and send me videos. Those videos used to be very scary. He still does it sometimes. But I think that guy is a fan, how can I complain about him? He would send me videos of crying and howling that please talk to me, meet me. Meet me tomorrow, at 11 o’clock I am coming to meet you. I don’t even know who he is. Then I used to block him and then he used to pick up another number message me from that number and send me videos. Then I used to block him again. So, I have blocked him so many times, but he keeps coming back and I can’t do anything about it.”

“I being an actor, a public figure, can’t do anything about it. So, that’s okay, that’s their love, but obviously it’s kind of obsession and you can’t get into someone’s personal space like that, they (fans) don’t understand this and that’s why we don’t have any alternative than to block them," Hina added.

Directed by Vikram Bhatt, Hacked also stars Rohan Shah, Mohit Malhotra, and Sid Makkar. It will be hitting the screens on 7th February 2020.

Riz Ahmed’s 'Hamlet' trailer drops murder suspicion into a South Asian business dynasty

  • Film sets Shakespeare inside a wealthy British South Asian family
  • Directed by Aneil Karia and in cinemas 6 February 2025
  • Cast includes Morfydd Clark, Joe Alwyn, Sheeba Chadha and Art Malik

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
