'Learn how to dance,' Ajay Devgn advises his 20-year-old self
What's the story
Ajay Devgn is known for his witty sense of humor.
On the occasion of Swami Vivekananda's birth anniversary and National Youth Day, the actor wrote a note to his 20-year-old self.
In the note, he emphasized how important it is to stay true to your real self and to not get bogged down by failures.
It's both heartfelt and amusing at the same time.
Note
'You are going to face some brutal rejections'
The note makes it clear that the 20-year-old Ajay is just starting out in the industry.
"You are going to face some brutal rejections," the star said.
Calling himself "shy and unconventional," Devgn wrote in the post that though the young man will try his best to fit in, he will fail "spectacularly!"
"But, spoiler alert, it's all going to be worth it."
Information
Note was written by an 'older, wise, better-looking you'
"One day slowly but surely, you'll realize, being yourself can be your greatest strength. Keep pushing the boundaries and don't let the world's expectations turn into inhibitions," his note continued.
"Always be true, always be you."
Retaining his cheeky humor sense, the star concluded, "P.S. Learn how to dance, it will help in the long run. Love, an older, wise, better-looking you."

Sir you missed one more thing to write down. The 20yo yourself should know that someday he’s going to endorse Vimal (Flavored Elaichi) to ensure other 20yo youth in the country gets destroyed because of it. Bolo Juban Kesri.
