Rajniesh Duggall has few friends in Bollywood

Actor Rajniesh Duggall knows that networking is an important part of being in Bollywood, but he says he has very limited friends in the industry.

"Relations and networking is very important in this industry, but I think many nothing can replace your talent... I think I have lack of friends in this industry," Rajniesh said in an interview.

Rajniesh started out as a model and made his acting debut with filmmaker Vikram Bhatt's horror thriller movie "1920" in 2008 alongside actress Adah Sharma. He has worked in films including "Phhir", "Dangerous Ishq" and "Ek Paheli Leela". Most of his films did not elicit the response that the makers may have envisioned.

The 34-year-old actor said that "filmmaking is a director's medium".

"But if the director is unknown, the actor gets the flak for a bad performance. I do believe that an actor is as good as his last film," he added.

His latest release is "Beiimaan Love", which is written, produced and directed by Rajeev Chaudhari.

The film also stars Sunny Leone, Daniel Weber and Rajiv Verma.
