Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt has said that the Hindi film industry has become increasingly "cut-throat", while in Hollywood there is greater "unity" and "far less jealousy".
Speaking to Dr D. Nageshwar Reddy on AIG Hospitals' YouTube channel, Sanjay reflected on how Bollywood has changed over the years.
"When I started, the industry felt like a family. Everyone was together, everyone was helping one another. Now it's become much more cut-throat, much more competitive. It's sad, but I hope it comes back," he said.
Drawing a comparison with Hollywood, the actor continued, "In Hollywood, everybody is together, they are friends. It's competitive, but it's very healthy. Over there, everyone is very united. The actors are together, the writers are together. There are industry bodies that support everyone. Even at the Oscars, there's so much togetherness. Whenever an actor goes up to receive an award, there's no jealousy. You can genuinely see everyone celebrating each other. It's beautiful."
Sanjay's remarks come days after he reunited with longtime friend and superstar Salman Khan. On Saturday, Salman shared photos on Instagram showing the two actors embracing warmly, with fans celebrating their enduring friendship.
