As the much-loved rom-com 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha' marked 10 years since its release, the lead actor of the film, Ayushmann Khurrana, took a trip down memory lane and shared how "anxious" and "nervous" he was before the film came out.
The 'Vicky Donor' actor, on Thursday, took to his Instagram account to share a snippet from the film along with an emotional note to his younger self. Reminding his younger self to "slow down," the actor wrote, "Slow down you crazy child. You will be fine. You will see the vagaries of life, the ups and the downs and you will emerge stronger. Your bigger plan should be a complete hush. There's absolutely no rush. The goal is not to only look at scoring a hit. There is a far bigger plan. Calm the hard core hustler in you and be the true artiste that you always aspired to be. Look up to the universe and be thankful for the life you have, for this moment, for being able to chase the dream of being an actor." "Don't be anxious. Everything will turn out to be ok. Dum Laga Ke Haisha, this small film with a big heart, is going to touch the lives & hearts of countless people across India and tell everyone to fall in love again. Please be true to your roots and true to your gut. You are God's favourite child. Slow down you crazy child," his note further read. The caption of his post read, "A decade later, I write back to the one who dared to dream."

"#10 Years To Dum LagaKeHaisha AYUSHMANN KHURRANA 10 years ago, I watched Dum laga ke Haisha for the 1st time. Full of nerves, an emotional mess cause I couldn't believe I was in a film.
