Hina Khan has been a part of Bigg Boss’ 11th season. The television bahu, who emerged as first runner up, made headlines for her fashion statement inside the house and her unfiltered opinion on the show. Right from getting into an ugly brawl with winner Shilpa Shinde and co-contestant Vikas Gupta, Hina Khan was one of the most controversial contestants in the 11th edition of Bigg Boss. But the Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 actress broke the Internet when had made a mean remark about the South Industry.

It all happened during one such episode of Bigg Boss 11 when the diva was captured demeaning the South Film Industry. While speaking about the same she had revealed to one of her co-contestants that she rejected two big south Indian films because the directors wanted her to gain weight and she had not been okay with it. She was quoted saying, “They want the women to be bulging. I said ‘no’ to two big south India films because they wanted me to put on weight. They want to see that thul-thula in the saree.”

Well, Hina’s comment not only invited the wrath of trolls, Tollywood actresses like Hansika Motwani, Raai Laxmi among others too had found it derogatory. Raai Laxmi had back then spoken to SpotboyE and had slammed the TV bahu. She had told us, “What nonsense! It's just that people in South generally like curvy women. There is no such criterion that women should be bulging.”

Hansika too had taken to social media to bash the actress. She had written in her Tweet, “What is this suppose to even mean?How can she even degrade the south industry like this ? #shamehinakhan”

Mahek Chahal too was quite vocal. "Maybe Hina is too skinny, which is why the South filmmakers asked her to put on some weight. So probably she thinks that this is the case with every actress down South. I am sure she has misunderstood,” she told us.
