There
has
been
much
talk
about
discrimination
between
insiders
and
outsiders,
and
unfair
practices
in
the
Hindi
film
industry
ever
since
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death.
In
this
context,
Saqib
Saleem,
who
is
an
outsider
to
the
industry,
opened
up
on
his
journey
in
the
film
industry
coming
from
a
non-filmy
background.
He
also
expressed
that
while
the
industry
has
issues
such
as
favouritism
and
nepotism,
he
does
not
equate
the
entire
industry
to
it.
Sharing
that
he
thinks
a
person's
success
and
failure
are
completely
their
own,
Saqib
told
Hindustan
Times,
"I
was
from
Delhi.
The
last
film
that
my
father
watched
before
my
first
film
was
Mughal-E-Azam.
That
is
how
far
we
were
from
the
film
industry.
So,
I've
had
a
journey
and
that's
been
a
great
one.
I've
had
a
great
experience.
I've
had
great
friends,
I've
done
some
good
films
bad
films,
my
journey
has
been
mine
and
only
mine."
"At
no
point
I
think
that,
'Arrey
uski
wajah
se
meri
film
reh
gayi,
nahi
mila
mujhe'.
How
can
I
turn
around
and
say
that.
If
you
are
honest
about
your
process
then
things
happen," he
added.
On
the
subject
of
nepotism
and
favouritism,
he
said,
"I
don't
see
it
like
an
industry
thing.
There
is
so
much
competition
and
ultimately
it
is
all
about
the
business.
There
are
all
kinds
of
people,
so
you
decide
the
kind
of
business
you
want
to
do.
You
can
only
take
responsibility
for
yourself
and
not
for
the
entire
fraternity
in
general.
You
don't
know
what
anybody
else
is
thinking.
We
are
all
humans
at
that
level.
We
all
have
our
own
mind
and
nobody
can
control
anybody's
mind."
Talking
about
work,
Saqib
will
next
be
seen
in

on
India's
first
World

1983

it
will
also
