On Sunday, Hina took to her X (former, Twitter) account to share, "I dream of a day when humankind can rise above all differences and find solutions to human problems without sacrificing innocent lives. There can never be a justification for the killing of innocents on either sides.. Its saddening .."
Within no time, her tweet went viral, and it was then that a netizen questioned her and called her a hypocrite.
"Ukraine has all the right to fight back against Russia, but when Palestine tries to fight back against Israel it becomes terrorism. Don't support hypocrisy," the netizen advised Hina.
Not one to back off, the actress then explained her tweet and wrote, "Nevertheless, innocent people still suffer and die! In a perfect world, during conflicts, only armies would face other armies, ensuring no civilian life is put at risk, regardless of the side they are on. But sadly, the world we inhabit is far from perfect. Civilian lives and homes should never become a battlefield."
She went on to say, "Also I am very well aware of the history and oppression between Palestine and Israel.. All I intend to say is that Innocent Civilians must not die. They definitely don't deserve this.."
"I have an opinion and I have all the rights to voice it out, especially when I am one of those whose heart goes numb to think about the innocent civilian's suffering. I am putting out my opinion just like you do. I choose peace ! I hope you do the same!" she added.
