During an interview with Forbes, Ayushmann spoke about how he deals with failures and said that a true man is someone who has the ability to deal with failures. “Success is a very lousy teacher and your failures are your friends, a philosophers and guides. if you haven’t experienced failures during your early years, it becomes difficult to deal with them when you are at a certain age,” he explained.

Recounting his initial days in the industry, the popular actor said that he saw 3 back-to-back unsuccessful films after his first film, and it was just the kind of films he was getting. “After Vicky Donor I had a certain benchmark but I wasn’t getting films of that ilk. That journey started again with Dum Laga Ke Haisha. Then there were 8 back-to-back super hit films after that."

While pointing out that it isn’t about personal craft but a collaborative effort, he further said that it is not about the actor but the kind of scriptwriters you get in touch with and the choices you make.
