"You will always feel that; don’t think it’s going to change. When an outsider comes to a party, people are going to hug him and welcome him, everything has changed and you are part of this industry, it’s t going to happen. An outsider will always remain an outsider, but you work hard and be successful.”

Sonu Sood also spoke about what impact this will have on aspiring actors and newcomers who dream to be an actor. He mentioned, 

“All outsiders who come to Mumbai should have nerves of steel to survive, maybe for months, maybe for years, and if it doesn’t happen, you need to be strong eugh to go back to your families, and do something in life. But when you see cases like Sushant, which is so unfortunate, we used to workout toger, he was such a great guy, and a successful guy, it sends a wrong mess, where parents don’t let ir kids come to Mumbai. ' industry is t safe, people will t help you', it’s t like that."
