Borrowed Belief | Ashwin Mushran | TEDxIMTHyderabad

About this video

No dream is ever truly your own, actor Ashwin Mushran reveals the hidden hands behind every "solo" success, from a mother's simple sentence that funded his acting career to a stranger's thank-you message seven years after a single phone call. Through a health scare that nearly cost him his breakout film role, he unpacks what he calls "borrowed belief", the courage others loan us when we can't find our own, and makes the case for passing it forward. Ashwin Mushran is known for memorable roles in Lage Raho Munna Bhai, Fashion, and Life in a... Metro, films that showcased his range as an actor and his instinct for bringing depth to every character he plays. But his storytelling doesn't end on screen. Over the decades, he has carved a unique niche as one of India's most prolific voice-over artists and digital storytellers, lending his voice and creative vision to a wide spectrum of platforms and formats. A powerful storyteller both on screen and beyond, Ashwin brings decades of creative insight to every project he takes on, spanning film, voice, and digital media, and reflecting a career built on constant evolution and reinvention. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
