The ongoing feud between television actors Hina Khan and Shilpa Shinde has escalated once again, with Hina responding sharply to Shilpa's recent remarks and appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The controversy began after Shilpa voiced her opinion on a sensitive issue and urged the Prime Minister to intervene. Her comments quickly gained attention online, triggering a wave of reactions from both supporters and critics. Amid the growing debate, Hina Khan took to social media and did not mince words while expressing her disagreement.
In a strongly worded response, Hina questioned the logic behind Shilpa's stance and wrote, "By that logic, release all criminals." The actress used the remark to underline her belief that accountability cannot be ignored and that actions should have consequences. Her statement soon went viral, drawing widespread attention and sparking fresh discussions across social media platforms.
She wrote, "Honourable prime minister of India, honourable president of India and the law minister of India Kindly release all the criminals who have confessed their crimes after committing them Because they have Courage, because they are fighters, because they stand with truth, also because nobody supported them when them committed the crime. I am in Disbelief Women are supporting such Absurd and Lowly Action Just because a Woman they support has admitted it. Dude this is a crime, what if the victim would hv committed suicide out of embarrassment or his marriage would have fallen apart? Are u guys out of your mind.. Specifically women from our industry must realise this action speaks for the conduct of all of us. Anyway women have to encounter stigma and several difficulties every step of the way. Being a Liar who uses their Gender to get checks cleared will be added to the list if we do not speak up and reject it".
Hina further suggested that such arguments set a dangerous precedent, emphasizing that laws and systems exist for a reason. While she did not directly engage in a lengthy back-and-forth, her pointed comment was enough to reignite the controversy and put the spotlight back on the disagreement.
Shilpa, on the other hand, has remained vocal about her position and continues to stand by her views. The actress has maintained that she was merely expressing her concerns and seeking attention toward an issue she believes deserves consideration. Her appeal to the Prime Minister had already generated mixed reactions, with some supporting her stance while others strongly opposing it.
The exchange has divided fans online. Supporters of Hina praised her for taking a firm stand and speaking candidly, while Shilpa's followers defended her right to express her opinions freely. As screenshots and clips of their statements continue to circulate, the feud has become one of the most discussed celebrity controversies on social media.
This is not the first time Hina has addressed public issues with a direct approach. Known for speaking her mind, the actress has often voiced her opinions on matters she feels strongly about. Her latest comment, however, has added a new layer to her ongoing disagreement with Shilpa.
For now, neither actress appears ready to step back from the debate. With both standing firmly by their views, the controversy continues to generate headlines and keep fans invested in the unfolding drama.
