Actress Aditi Rao Hydari, who has shared screen space with megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akhtar in "Wazir", says she's glad that even though she doesn't have a Bollywood background and is an "outsider" in the Hindi film industry, she is "working with really good people".

Aditi had, in an earlier interview, said that she felt like an "outsider" in the industry.

Asked if having done films like "Delhi-6", "Yeh Saali Zindagi", "Khoobsurat" and now "Wazir", has changed her views, Aditi said here: "When I say I'm an outsider, I mean that my family is not from the industry... There are so many people who struggle to get into the industry and being that outsider, I am working with really good people."

The 29-year-old actress plays Farhan's wife Ruhana in Bejoy Nambiar-directed "Wazir".

Aditi says she doesn't know "how the industry works", so she "learns something new every day" and "looks at it as positive thing".

"Sometimes it makes you weak, sometimes it makes you excited but mostly it's magic, because I feel privileged every day," she added.

The "Boss" actress said she loves "being an actor".

"I love being a drama queen in front of the camera. I really enjoy it."
