Sonali Raut is a part of the latest web series Dangerous, starring Karan Singh Grover and Bipasha Basu. The actress, who is playing the wife of Karan, has an important role in the series. While talking to us exclusively, the Bigg Boss contestant shared her thoughts on insider and outsider debate in Bollywood and also revealed how she became a victim of favouritism in her debut film.
Talking to us exclusively Sonali Raut shared, "I have friends from the industry who already had their base here, so for them it's easy to get launched and work with good banners. Like they have producers, directors at their home, so it is easier for them to get an opportunity. In my family, my father was a cop, so we had a lot of people from that fraternity coming home. All in all, you know the right people from where you come from. So, I think for the outsider, it is difficult because obviously in the beginning you are new and you don't know from where to start as for that you need to have the right contacts. Also, to gain that trust from Bollywood and assure them that you have talent is not easy."Also Read: THE XPOSÉ: Bigg Boss 8 Contestant Sonali Raut’s Fat To Fit Transformation

Sonali says, "In my first movie 'The Xpose' the story was about two actresses and the other part was played by Zoya Afroz and it had Himmesh Reshamiya in it. During that, I was kept away from the promotions in spite of me playing the central character. And she was pushed more than me. I objected to this and asked my producer the reason and very conveniently I was told it was not my but the director's call. I decided to ignore and move on to my new project. I didn't waste my time."
