Sajjad Delafrooz who portrayed the role of villain in the blockbuster film ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ has gained a lot of praise and appreciation for his character in the film, feels grateful as the actor was trying to make it to Bollywood. The actor has also gained popularity for his good looks among women, he said, “I was trying to make this (recognition) happen for years. It feels good to get beautiful messages from people. Directors and producers are congratulating me, and that’s the best thing. It’s beautiful.”


The actor shares his experience on working with Salman Khan “After the screening of the film, bhaijaan told me, ‘Be careful about the projects you choose because your life will change now. I met him while I was preparing for the film. He shared tips about working out. He shares his experiences with you, which is the best thing about him.”


The actor further added, “I still remember the exact date — July 29, 2011 — when I decided that I don’t want to continue with a 9-to-5 job and instead take up acting. I started by sending my videos and e-mails to people who are in-charge of such things. I even came to Mumbai in 2014 to try my luck, but that didn’t work. n 2015, I landed a small role in Baby (starring Akshay Kumar)... But I knew I would have to work harder to be in a better place. I never stopped working. Till 2016, I did international projects, movies, television shows. I speak five different languages, so I got to work in different parts of the world, but nothing worked for me.”


The actor concluded with talking about the first call he got for ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’, “I would email my work 24/7 to directors and producers, till one day, out of the blue, I got a call for this film. I didn’t know what movie it was, and who else was going to star in it. They told me that they liked my audition, and wanted me to give another one. The entire audition process went on for two-and-a-half months.”
