Anyone who follows Ayushmann Khurrana on Twitter is familiar with his midnight musings and his flair for poetry and writing. Thankfully, his novel too offers the same passion and love. The book, Cracking The Code by Rupa Publication revolves around his journey with Roadies, stints with radio, being a VJ to bagging a movie with YRF. It’s co-written by Tahira Kashyap.
True to his persona, the book too has a conversational narrative which is a testament to the fact about how humble and passionate he is as a person. This no-holds-barred book has a lot of elements of self-introspection which is not only helpful for other aspiring actors but for people as a whole.
It’s a short and easy read and literally feels like a friend is narrating his life story over a cup of tea. With all the honesty and earnestness that the book contains, you’re sure to respect him much more.

Bits of brilliance:
~ (After attending his first Bollywood party) The elite world had depressed me- not because I wasn’t a part of it, but because I was being forced to be a part of it in order to become an actor.
~ The fraternity feels like family. It’s another thing that I still get star-struck when Shahrukh Khan enters the room. Some things just don’t change.
~ Tahira and I have our fair share of disagreements; it’s just that the tabloids don’t get to know about it.
~ If you ever spot me smiling like a goofy idiot, I must be thinking about her and the wonderful moments that we have shared.
~ The truth is that a majority of the films are made just because the star pair’s dates are available. Some films are made because the producer and his wife want to holiday abroad. The reasons why films get made are as random and bizarre as that. Passionate filmmakers are an exception to that rule.
~ The point is to be positive and optimistic. If you can be even half as energetic as Ranveer Singh, you are on the right track!
