Hina Khan praises Mrunal's apology to Bipasha, calls both actors phenomenal women

Actor Hina Khan on Thursday shared a long note on social media, reacting to Mrunal Thakur's old video in which she threw a shade at Bipasha Basu by calling her manly. The actor urged people to stop talking about what happened in the past, especially after Thakur apologised for her comments in the old video. Khan's note came a few hours after Thakur wrote a long apology on her Instagram stories, calling her remarks for Basu a "teenager's mistake."advertisementThe 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' actor appreciated Thakur for being courageous enough to apologise for her mistakes from the past. She called Basu an "icon" in her post, and reiterated that wisdom comes with time. "Wisdom is the fruit of the tree of knowledge, rooted in experiences. Evolution of our social skills, communication, and depth of understanding only comes with TIME. We all make mistakes, especially when we are younger. I can very well relate to Mrunal - I too have made such silly mistakes in the past (sic)," she said. Khan shared that one learns to grow and evolve with time, and we should simply focus better on making each other feel stronger, not pulling down by digging the past."Some of us go through great exposure without the skill to handle it. But with time, we evolve, we become kinder, we become compassionate. We learn lifting each other up, fixing each other's crown (sic)," she added. Hina Kha addressed both Bipasha Basu and Mrunal Thakur in her post and noted how both women have broken the glass ceiling in their own way and have set examples of strength for other women."Just like all of you, I too have witnessed both Bipasha's and Mrunal's inspiring journeys in the industry.. Both are fab, And Bipasha is an icon for the whole community. I am so glad and proud that Mrunal could own her mistake, committed by her past self that no longer exists (sic)," she who is currently battling cancer, went on to refer to both Thakur and Basu as "phenomenal women". She said Basu's "muscles" have inspired an entire generation of women to stay fit and prioritise their health and wellbeing over everything else. "Let's spread LOVE and be kind. Let's try and make each other stronger while we acknowledge our differences (sic)," she concluded. Earlier, a clip from Thakur's interview from her days on television went viral. She was answering a reporter's question when she compared herself to Basu, and said "I am better than Bipasha." She was seen arguing with a man who told her that he idolised Basu. Thakur responded by saying, "Do you want to marry a girl who is manly with muscles?," adding, "Go marry Bipasha."The video and her remarks against Basu have since gone viral. The latter also reacted to the issue by urging women to build "muscles". In her Instagram post the other day, Basu wrote, "Strong women lift each other those muscles beautiful should be help you attain good physical and mental health forever! Bust the age old thought process that woman should not look strong or be physically strong!!! (sic)," she wrote. - EndsMust Watch IN THIS STORY#Mrunal Thakur#Bipasha Basu

Time to move on: Niyati Joshi quits Yeh Rishta after six years

Niyati Joshi; in the show Yeh Rishta Niyati Joshi, who played Swarna Goenka in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai for six years, has decided to bid adieu to the show. The actress said it was the right time to move on and explore new opportunities. 'The biggest joke doing the rounds was how I continued to look the same even after playing a great, great grandmom! When I entered, I was playing mother to my age-group actors, but I had no issues because the role was meaty and had depth. Now, the story no longer focuses on the Goenkas. After the leap, it moved to the other family and I hardly had anything to do. I wasn't shooting for many days in the past few months, so I felt it was time to move on,' she said. About being typecast in older roles, she said, 'I will get similar offers because that is common in TV and I don't mind playing a mother if the role is good. My character in Yeh Rishta looked glamorous even as a great-grandmother, so that was never an issue. But I would love to explore web shows and I hope some meaty roles come my way—it's high time I play something different.' Calling her six-year journey 'fun,' Niyati added, 'It was great working with Rajan Shahi's production house. I will miss the set—it had become a second home. My mother was a bit upset, but I felt it was the right decision. I want to do different things and play different roles.' Niyati Joshi on how she enjoys wearing sarees in her TV show
