There is a class system in the film industry which makes it hard for television actors to get a breakthrough, says TV star Hina Khan. The Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai star, who made her Bollywood debut with Vikram Bhatt's psychological thriller Hacked, believes TV actors are as good as their cinema counterparts but are pigeonholed.

"There is a class system in the film industry. Be it anything -- the big designers or the productions banners -- I have been judged so many times because of my TV background. People from the industry don't even give us opportunity. We are equally talented," Khan told PTI in an interview.
