New Delhi: Ayushmann Khurrana, who won the Best Actor National Award for his role in 'Andhadhun' on Friday, perfectly summed up his big win. In a heartwarming post, Ayushmann wrote down about how he came to Mumbai with his dreams for the first time and how he achieved them with ups and downs. 

His post reads as follows:

"Jab pehli dafa aaya tha Mumbai tab bhi baarish ho rahi thi. Aaj bhi barkha barkarar hai.
Yahaan ki bheedh ki tarah sapne the aankhon me hazaar, aaj bhi umangein tez taraar hain.
Maa baap ne nam aankhon se di thi mujhe parvaaz, aaj bhi unki fiqr barqaraar hai.
Second class sleeper me aaya tha is sheher me doston ke saath, aaj bhi uss safar ka khumaar hai.
Uth kar gira, gir ke utha. Chalaa. Udaa. Aaj unhi thokaron ke khaatir mere haq me rashtriyaa puraskar hai."
