Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to SAURABH AHUJA. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
SAURABH, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. How did you learn to do what you do? Knowing what you know now, what could you have done to speed up your learning process? What skills do you think were most essential? What obstacles stood in the way of learning more?
Learning is an essential part of everybody’s life, and so is mine. When I started my career, there was a picture in my mind of how it could be done, but when I pursued it, I came to know that I needed to make some modifications to my writing if I wanted to catch the mood of the young generation. If not, it would be difficult for me to fulfill my objective, i.e., to become the best writer in the world.
Writing is a God-given gift, and it requires passion more than learning. Nobody can teach you how to write; no course is above your thoughts and ideas that came into your mind, and they can come from situations you face, day-to-day life activities you perform, and writing every day about the hot and trending topics. When you write daily, there are many things that you put into your draft; some are great, some are okay, and some are pathetic too, but if you want to make it a classic, work on it again and again, and when you work on your draft continuously, there are many things you will change, which ultimately speeds up your learning process.
If we talk about the most essential skills we need as writers, there are many, but a few of them are: 1) Self-motivation; 2) Patience; 3) No duplication; 4) Never say die attitude; 5) Ever-Ready to Modify Your Own Thoughts 6) Stay cool and calm. 7) Peace is what pays you.
I feel there were no obstacles as far as learning is concerned. In the field of writing and direction, most of the time we learn when we do it practically, and that’s what helps you improve day by day and become a master of your own craft.
SAURABH, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Starting from my introduction: My name is Saurabh Ahuja. I am a poet, script writer, film/screenplay writer, lyricist, editor, producer, and director. I am the winner of 28 Indian and 33 international awards. Many celebrities have given me awards and accolades, and my most recent film, “The Guilt,” has won 49 awards at film festivals around the world and is currently streaming on the OTT platform MX Player. I have been awarded seven times as best director for my film “The Guilt” in different parts of the world. I was interviewed by HTX magazine in Houston, Texas. Recently, Zee News also ranked me in the “Top 100 Influential People of India 2022.”
I was working as a manager in the content industry and was doing film and songwriting side by side. People come from their jobs, chat with their families, eat food, and go to sleep, but my routine was a little bit different. I was not able to give time to my family and just talk with them while eating food. After the food, I again started my script writing. I worked till 3 AM most of the time, or sometimes 4 AM, and then the next day I was in the office. I was fully aware that if I wanted to be the best, I had to make such sacrifices. My father and my mom were really concerned about my health, but I continued my hard work. I was sleeping at 3 a.m., getting only 3–4 hours of sleep, and then leaving for the office. That’s become my daily routine. The time came when I thought that now I was prepared to leave the job and give full concentration to this field only, and I came into the industry.
I specialise in content writing, editing, copywriting, script writing, screenplay writing, lyrics writing, editing, and directing films. I am proud of my achievements and accomplishments, for which I have been awarded in different parts of the world, and they only became possible with immense hard work day and night.
My extraordinary writing skills, self-confidence, determination to accomplish my goals, never-say-die attitude, and ability to handle everything patiently are some of the things that set me apart from others. With the grace of Guruji, I am a proud achiever of 28 Indian and 33 international awards in such a short time. It is like a dream come true. So much love and respect in the form of awards across the world.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on NFTs. (Note: this is for education/entertainment purposes only, readers should not construe this as advice)
Putting money into NFTs could seem like a good idea, but in order to maximise your returns, you need to do extensive research, diversify your holdings, and choose a marketplace with a good reputation. Because NFTs enable the ownership of digital assets that are one-of-a-kind and cannot be copied, they are a valuable asset that can be added to any investment portfolio.
It is essential to diversify your portfolio of NFTs as you would with any other investment. Invest in a variety of NFTs, including artwork, music, and sports. This will help reduce risk and maintain a balanced investment strategy overall.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
One of the most enjoyable aspects of being an artist or creative individual is observing your own progress. As an artist, everyone ought to admire his journey and the hardships he faced to get to the throne; this is the only way to evaluate your career and examine your development.
