According to him, one can either get complexed when they are surrounded by a lot of successful people or get motivated by them. “I guess it’s the choice you have to make in your head and be sane in your head. Evolve everyday, learn something new, read a lot. That’ll never go waste.”

Ayushmann advised that one should not be surrounded by people who are just yes men, but by people who show you the real picture and encourage you.

He concluded by saying, “Life is all about timing. Success is when preparation meets opportunity. And if you have talent there is no lack of opportunities. This is the best era to be an artist.”
