Actress Hina Khan doesn't see being in Google's top 10 most searched actors in the world in 2024 as an achievement or as a happy news. Only three Indians have been named in the top 10 searched actors on Google. Telugu star and Andhra Pradesh Dy CM Pawan Kalyan holds the second spot, Hina Khan at fifth and Nimrat Kaur at eighth position. Hina who has been battling cancer is not looking at this as an achievement because of her health-related hardships.
