The ongoing Cannes Film Festival has become the most talked about topic in entertainment media, even social media is flooded with pictures of top stars from Cannes. Many Bollywood stars like Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, and Kangana Ranaut made everyone’s head turn with their drool-worthy look. Amidst all this, there was one Indian actress who made her Cannes debut and stole the show.
We are talking about popular TV actress Hina Khan, who made her stylish Cannes debut. However, her look soon becomes the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons. She was brutally trolled by fans, which has become a rather frequent thing for Hina. The actress often gets trolled for various reasons. Trolling by fans is bad but when some industry person troll it is worse.
In a shocking turn of events, Hina Khan was trolled by Jitesh Pillai, editor of top entertainment magazine Filmfare. He took to Instagram to share a story mocking Hina Khan’s look from her Cannes debut.
Even before Hina Khan could say anything, several celebrities from the industry started slamming Jitesh Pillai for his derogatory remarks about Hina Khan. Celebs from the film as well as TV industry called out Filmfare Editor.
