Renowned Pakistani actress and TV host Hina Khawaja Bayat has claimed that Bollywood’s Mr. Perfectionist, Aamir Khan, started his TV show after being inspired by her program.
Hina Khawaja Bayat recently appeared on private news, openly discussing her career and other matters.
She revealed that she started as a journalist and TV host during the program. She said from the very start, she knew she did not want to act and had no interest in acting, but she eventually transitioned to acting while working in journalism and hosting.
The actress said that producer Seema Taher introduced her to television hosting, and it was Sultana Siddiqui who motivated her to act.
Hina said she started acting in the drama Jhumka Jaan on Hum TV and went on to do more projects.
While on the program, she shared that before stepping into acting, she used to host the most popular shows on television at that time.
She claimed to be the first person to address mental health issues on television and said that such topics were unheard of in TV programming back then.
She explained that she wanted to create a program that encouraged discussions around mental health, motivating people to seek help whenever they faced problems and to prioritize mental well-being.
Hina Khawaja Bayat further said that she had designed and presented her show which was much appreciated.
She said that later someone sent her a clip of Aamir Khan’s TV show and pointed out that it was the same show that she was presenting, saying that it was a copy of her show.
Hina clarified that she would not call Aamir Khan’s TV show a copy of hers but thought that the Bollywood actor was inspired by her show to create his own.
