Shredding out advice for the 20-year-old in him about career, Ajay wrote that during the course of his journey as an actor, ‘people will criticize and doubt him which will be hard and will make him question his dreams.’ Sharing his thoughts, the actor wrote, “Dear 20-year-old me, There you 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!"

Adding, the letter read, "People's criticism and doubts will be hard, it'll make you question your dreams. You will fail more than you will succeed. But, spoiler alert, it's all going to be worth it... because one day slowly but surely, you'll realize, 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 your inhibitions. Always be true, always be yours! P.S Learn how to dance, it'll help you in the long run. Love, Am older, wiser and better looking at you'.” Soon after the post, his fans were completely taken aback by the beautiful piece of advice that the actor gave on a special day.
