thanked
all
the

Ayushmann
says,
"All
the
directors
that
I
have
been
fortunate
enough
to
work
with,
have
shaped
me
as
an
artiste.
They
have
taught
me
incredibly

life
lessons
through
their
work,
their
wisdom
and
their
philosophy.
I
will
forever
be
indebted

them."

credits
these

instilling
self-belief
in
him.
"They
have
nurtured
me,
believed
in
me
and
showed
immense
confidence
in
me
at
times
when
I
needed
validation
the
most.
My
journey
in
cinema
is
special
because
of
these
talented
human
beings.
On
Gratitude
Day,
this
is
my
humble
thank
you
