B-Town is friendly, says Aditi Rao Hydari

She started off with supporting roles and now with London, Paris, New York, Aditi Rao Hydari is set for her first lead role. The actress says she is humbled to see how accepting and friendly Bollywood is.

"When you look from outside, it looks like a dream. But at the same time, there is fear as you hear mysterious stories like people are mean, the industry is very competitive. However, I don't think that Bollywood is such a jungle as it is made out to be," Hydari said.

"People are very friendly and accepting. It is true that they judge you, but a lot depends upon how you take it onto yourself. I have no connection with the film world, but the fact that I got here and my work is being appreciated makes me feel humbled"

The actress made her Bollywood debut with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Delhi 6 and later featured in supporting roles in films like Sudhir Mishra's Yeh Saali Zindagi and Imtiaz Ali's Rockstar.

"I am not from the film industry and when I was getting these parts, I didn't think of them as supporting roles. I just saw the director, my role and the film," she said. "I did face a problem initially because an image of [a] simple, innocent girl was created in the minds of people. But I am glad to see that people saw me differently and felt I can do different roles also."
