In his opinion, Bollywood is about going to parties and as much as he likes partying with his friends, he cannot go to parties for networking. `So that's how Bollywood is today and I am still not in it at all. I know I am a part of it but I do not have any friends as such here...` he said.
On the flipside, the actor feels that the film industry is very accepting today. He states, `Now people are more ready to accept something different, so today maybe if a guy is not good looking but a very good actor, he would still have a chance, compared to before. Now I think anyone can be a hero. Talent is being noticed today. I really like that.`
Saahil does know a few 'good people' in the industry. He met Shah Rukh Khan as a kid since his mother (Nishi Prem) and SRK have known each other for a long time. `I was never star-struck, but when I was sitting with Shah Rukh I was charmed by him,` said Saahil. `He has this quality in him... he makes everyone like him,` he adds. Saahil also knows Farah Khan and claims that she is `an extremely chilled out person.`
The actor is now making his debut as a director and writer with the upcoming film M.A.D (Mad About Dance) where he is also the lead, alongside Amrit Maghera. The film is slated to release August 22nd this year.
