You put your inputs into a list and see if "hello" is in the list.
 
    inputlist=[a,b,c,d]
    if "hello" in inputlist:
        fun()

or if you want to run fun() once for every "hello" you can then loop over 
the list.

    inputlist=[a,b,c,d]
    for inputitem in inputlist: 
        if "hello" == inputitem:
            fun()
