I m in a good space in Bollywood: Saqib Saleem
"It s been a good journey I have made some good choices. I have made some mistakes. But I have really enjoyed being an actor " Saqib told IANS here.
"No I am not content. I am happy that I am in a good space and I want to work a lot. I have done eight-nine films in these years though I am not a believer about quantity over quality but I would like to work more and want people to decide " added the actor who was last seen in "Race 3".
The 30-year-old star who hails from New Delhi has no regrets about his film choices.
"You learn from those mistakes and if you don t learn and commit the same mistake again then I would regret. I have learnt a lot. I came here as a 21-year-old boy who had no idea of the film industry or acting. I think I have grown a lot. I see that as a positive " he added.
Now Saqib is looking for "good work".
"I don t want to restrict myself in terms of things like I want to do commercial films or content driven films or something on the web . I just want to look out for opportunity that let me put out my talent if I have any out there and just get good opportunities to work with good interesting minds " he said.
Talking about gender neutrality in Bollywood Saqib said: "I think it is a very good thing and we should always promote that. A person should be paid or should be given credit as per his or her talent not because that individual is a male or a female. I think your talent should speak first and everything else follows."
Saqib was here with his sister and actress Huma Qureshi to walk as the showstopper for Anvita Sharma s brand Two Point Two at the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2018. While Saqib sported a monochrome coloured suit with a mustard coloured turtle neck Huma wore a long skirt with a re-invented kimono and mustard coloured top.
