She added that they happily promote each other's trailers, attend film events and celebrate success together. She feels that this kind of support creates a happy and healthy atmosphere for everyone.

Rakul Preet Singh shares what she learnedShe said, “I think we are really lagging behind. My conditioning happened in the Telugu film industry and that is a very united industry. I have said this many times when I moved to Bombay and suddenly I realise why everyone is so competitive. There is competition over there but you are supporting one other film.”

On the other hand, she said that in the Hindi film industry. She feels there is often insecurity among people in the industry. She said because of this, many people do not openly support the films of others.


What happens in Bollywood“We would show up at each other's screening, premiere or talk about it or celebrate at the success party and it wasn't about who's going so I will go. Everybody was just there for one another and I feel like if we bring that feeling from one fraternity in Mumbai then we are a really strong one but I feel that insecurities don’t let you to allow and that’s self work,” she further added.

Rakul Preet Singh believes the industry can become even stronger if people stand together and support one another.
