Hina attended the poster launch of her upcoming film ‘Country of the Blind’ at the 75th Cannes Film Festival.

These days, we people blur between different Hear me talking about Rekha. Be it platform, TV, OTT or Bollywood. But discrimination still exists and Hina was just stating facts.”
Devoleena added: “Even today, when we go for auditions for a film, most of the time we get rejected with the tag ‘You are a TV actor’. We are all working with great respect and We have our steady fans. But still there is a practice of demeaning TV actors.”
He explained how such thoughts become worrying for many new actors as they fear that joining the TV industry as an actor may adversely affect their career.
“It becomes difficult to find opportunities for actors like me who have no background in the film and entertainment industry. Many people wait instead to work in TV shows, as they fear that they may not get a chance to work in the future. Will get. In a Bollywood film,” she said.
“Initially this happened to me too, but then I realized that either I choose acting which gives me unlimited opportunities in multiple mediums, or I choose to be a Bollywood actor and reduce my chances as a rising star. I chose the first one, explained the “Saath Nibhana Saathiya” actress.
Currently, Devoleena is excited about her next release, which is a short film titled ‘First Second Chance’ directed by Lakshmi R Iyer.
