How can I assigned a post to multiple post status like it will be in 'publish' status and also a custom post status say 'hide' post status.
by this publish post count will remain same and 'hide' post status can be hide from a loop.
How can this be achieved?

This can be achieved by storing a post meta value. You can do stuff on the post based on this meta value.

The meta value won't change post count.
'hide' post status can be hide from a loop.
Do you mean that you don't want to show these posts in your site? You need to use meta query for that. In that case, see this answer: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/188940/23214
You can't, really. post_status is a column in the *_posts table and it isn't meant to have duplicate values.
