Ultimate code is 'Destiny'

Some Secret Codes From Ayushmann Khurrana and Tahira Kashyap's Book - CRACKING THE CODE : MY JOURNEY IN BOLLYWOOD

  • “We all are just as good or bad as our last outing, in the movies or in real life.”
  • “Critiques are your best friends. They bring out the best in you. Never shun them, criticize them or run them down. They have an opinion because of some reason. That reason will eventually be the reason for your growth.”
  • “The gates to learning open only when the route to self-obsession is blocked.”
  • “If you are preparing for something, there is no way you wouldn’t get a chance to prove yourself. And success is when preparation meets opportunity.”
  • “I truly believe that if you have sown the seeds of desire, there is no way that life wouldn’t give you an opportunity to reap the fruits of it. The choice then is personal: whether you want to see those seeds develop or stunt their growth or even uproot them. The choice is always given and the choice is always yours.”
  • “Give your best to whatever opportunity you get; never underestimate the significance of even the smallest of junctures. Your past action will one day become your future redemption.”
  • “Had I waited for the script of Nautanki Saala to be written before signing it, perhaps I could have avoided the misstep it turned out to be. Patience and wisdom is something that even the patient and wise strive for.”
  • “Know yourself. Respect yourself. Prepare yourself. Make your weakness your strength and supplement your strength with an equal dose of humility.”
