10 QUOTES BY ANURAG KASHYAP THAT PROVE HE DOESN'T PLAY BY THE RULES

Fierce and raw, Anurag Kashyap is one person who doesn't believe in sugar-coating reality, neither in his films nor in real life. Those who have worked with him or know him personally say that he always tries to tell the truth, no matter how uncomfortable it is. If that doesn't make him a badass, we don't know what does.

Extremely vocal about what he thinks is right, Kashyap speaks blatantly, not giving a damn about what others think. He is clearly a non-conformist, a league away from the massy we are used to. So, as the most unconventional filmmaker of Indian cinema turns 45, we bring you some gems from his personal repository of quotes that prove that he is Bollywood's very own "Badass Babua".

1. Those who are struggling are the only one who are living 

2. Travelling makes everything better  

3. It's high time we realise this 

4. The mind is a blank canvas 

5. Dedication is synonymous with perfection 

6. The blatant truth

7. It's this passion that results in greatness

8. That's someone who knows himself inside out

9. Are you listening, CBFC? 

10. The truth has been spoken

Well, these are only some of his personal quotes but his work speaks for him and we cannot be more proud of this guy for that!  Kudos to you, Anurag and a very Happy Birthday from Team Bollyy
