The Cannes Film Festival 2019 is underway and our Bollywood beauties are already stunning in their designer couture at the event. This year, apart from the regulars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor and Kangana Ranaut, Priyanka Chopra and Hina made their debut at the red carpet. If you’ve been following the event a renowned film magazine editor took an elitist dig at TV actress Hina who is at Cannes for unveiling the first look of her film Lines. She looked ravishing in a silver embellished gown and made heads turn with her elegance and poise. However, the editor wrote on his Instagram, “Cannes has suddenly become chandivali studios kya?"

Several TV personalities and celebrities including Farah Khan, Ekta Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover and Kangana Ranaut’s sister Rangoli Chandel came out in support of Hina and lambasted the editor for his unsavoury remark and now Salman Khan in his trademark style has also come out in support of the former Bigg Boss contestant Hina. During the Zinda song launch when he was asked to comment on the issue he took a sly dig at the editor and made fun of his comment. At first, he confessed that he was not aware of the issue but when he was briefed about it he said, “That's very responsible of that editor to make a comment like that. Very thoughtful of the editor to make a comment like that on Hina. I don't understand kya kehna chah rahe the. Cannes is Chandivali or has Chandivali has gone to Cannes?"

On the other hand, Hina took to social media to react on the editor’s comment and wrote on social media, “I was persistent, I m constant n I will b efficient again n again again. Don’t know where I belong, don’t know if I have to, as d Place don’t define me! Bcause as always I will work my a** off n I will make my own PLACE. My promise,a proud outsider from my Chandiwali studios."
