Today
(January
12)
is
celebrated
as
National
Youth
Day
as
a
tribute
to
legendary
philosopher
and
monk
Swami
Vivekananda.
To
mark
this
occasion,
actor
Ajay
Devgn
shared
a
heartfelt
post
on
his
social
media
handle.
The
actor
wrote
a
letter
to
his
20-year-old
self
in
the
post
that
motivated
him
to
stay
steadfast
towards
his
goals
despite
rejections
and
obstacles.
Talking
about
the
same,
Ajay
Devgn's
letter
read
as
"Dear
20-year-old
me,
There
are
making
your
mark
in
this
new
world
as
an
actor...
Let
me
be
honest,
you
are
going
to
face
some
brutal
rejections.
Shy
and
unconventional,
you
will
try
your
hardest
to
fit
in
but
fail...
spectacularly!
People's
criticisms
and
doubts
will
be
hard,
it'll
make
you
question
your
dreams.
You
will
fail
more
than
you
will
succeed."
Furthermore,
Ajay
Devgn
urged
his
younger
self
to
never
give
up
despite
some
hindrances.
The
Tanhaji:
The
Unsung
Warrior
stated,
"But
spoiler
alert,
it's
all
going
to
be
worth
it...because
one
day
slowly
but
surely,
you'll
realise,
being
yourself
can
be
your
greatest
strength.
So
stumble
a
little
but
don't
stop.
Keep
pushing
the
boundaries
and
don't
let
the
world's
expectations
turn
into
inhibitions.
"Always
be
true,
always
be
you." PS_
Learn
how
to
dance
and
it'll
help
you
in
the
long
run.
Love,
an
older,
wiser
and
better
looking
you."
Ajay
captioned
the
same
stating,
"This
#NationalYouthDay
decided
to
pen
down
a
few
words
for
the
20-year-old
Ajay,
I
hope
he
appreciates
it."
Take
a
look
at
the
post.
Meanwhile,
in
an
earlier
interview,
Ajay
Devgn
also
spoke
about
the
fate
of
some
big
Bollywood
films
at
the
box
office
since
the
beginning
of
the
theatres
marked
many
movies
to
be
postponed
due
to
the
increase
in
the
COVID-19
cases.
The
De
De
Pyaar
De
actor
said,
"As
of
just
a
few
days
ago,
Delhi
was
put
on
yellow
alert.
Other
Indian
states
have
indicated
new
lockdown
restrictions.
Sources
say
the
Omicron
variant
may
dampen
the
year-end
and
beginning
of
2022
plans
for
most
people
around
the
globe.
This
puts
all
of
us,
including
the
entertainment
industry,
on
a
back
foot.
I
just
hope
and
pray
things
don't
take
a
turn
for
the
worse.
People's
health
and
pockets
must
not
suffer."
On
the
work
front,
he
has
movies
like
MayDay,
Maidaan,
Thank
God,
Gangubai
Kathiawadi
and
Runway
34
on
his
kitty.
