Veteran Bollywood actor Naseeruddin Shah, known for his roles in movies like A Wednesday and Nishant expressed his disappointment with the Hindi film industry on Thursday, but maintained that he has no regrets from life.
“It has been an eventful journey and if I had a chance to live again, I would love to do it in the same way. I feel fortunate about the life I have lived,” Naseeruddin said here on the opening day of the Mountain Echoes literary festival.
He was participating in a session titled And then one day, named after his memoir by the same title.

Shah, however, said that he was not very optimistic about the film industry in Mumbai.
“I am pretty much fed up with the kind of movies we make. I am not very optimistic about the film world in Bombay,” the 68-year-old actor said.
He maintained that the Hindi film industry is all fluff and it is hard to find anything that will make him thrive in the industry.
He said he was no longer interested in 60-day shoots and was only doing movies that demanded lesser time on his part.
“Theatre is what I want to focus more on. At least you can turn back the pages and play Shakespeare or any great works,” the National School of Drama-trained actor said.
