Hina Khan reveals her real-life incident with a stalker
In an interview with an online entertainment portal, Hina Khan spoke about the ordeal. She shared a real-life experience she faced with a stalker. She revealed that there was a stalker, who used to send Hina videos of himself from different contact numbers, and how she continued blocking all of those numbers.

Taking about a film Hacked, in an interview with PTI said, "As a woman, this story was important for me. Hacking and stalking can happen with anyone, but women are subjected to it more. Men don’t get stalked as much as women do. Also, women don’t open up about it."
She further added, "Initially, I was sceptical to take up a subject that has never been touched before. Stalking is not even taken seriously as a crime. People casually talk about stalking. You speak to any woman who has dealt with it, her life is miserable. With this film, if I’m able to give some strength to women out there, I will be more than happy."
