"There are many critics who are able to have that perception, who are able to go beyond what you have written or have a different view point. I think it's important for anyone in the creative field to know that. Many times, we are unaware of it. Most of the times, the critics are right and we are wrong. "In such situations, when you feel they have been unfair, cut that criticism out from the piece of paper and stick it on your bathroom wall and every morning, look into the mirror and say, 'One day buddy, I am going to disapprove you,'" he added.

The fest, which opened yesterday, will feature speakers, authors, intellectuals, journalists and performers from around the world including The Crown director Stephen Daldry, David Ebershoff, author of The Danish Girl, Mark Tully, among others.
