An open letter said to be written by Puri Jagannadh is circulating in social media. The letter states, " We always think success and failure are opposite but they are in flow with each other. One will follow another. We fall, rise, cry, laugh.. nothing in life is permanent. We should see everything in life as an experience not as a success and failure. I wanted to kill myself, someone saved me, we both hugged, he deceived me. Many things happen in life. We must see them like scenes in the film."
The letter added, " If we score success we will get money, if we fail we get wisdom. So, we keep on gaining either mentally or physically. Never stay idle, keep on working. Take risks in life. A life without any risk is the biggest risk. Believe you are the Hero for your life. We shouldn't try to prove about our honesty. Truth always prevails. No one can do anything to us if we keep doing our work without any intentions to cheat others. If I ever cheated anyone, it's the audience who bought ticket for my films. I am liable to my audience. I will make another movie. I will entertain them."
