New Delhi, July 5 (IANS): Bollywood star Aamir Khan, who felicitated GQ's 50 Most Influential Young Indians at an event here last week, says his advice to youngsters is that they must "keep going even when your chips are down".

"One advice that I would want to share with these young achievers is that when you are facing failure, one tends to feel like compromising but never do that. Keep going even when your chips are down," Aamir said in a statement.

The actor, whose next release is "Dangal", stars on GQ India’s July 2016 cover.

Aamir was recently in the capital to launch GQ’s latest special edition. Those featured in the list come from a diverse range of backgrounds and professions -- from politics to entertainment.

Aamir, who has himself been an achiever as an actor, producer and director, personally met and felicitated each of the achievers this year at the gala event which took place on July 2.

Those to have featured on the list are names like Virat Kohli, Ranveer Singh, Ritesh Agrawal, Vijay Shekhar Sharma, Prabhat Choudhary, Navroze Godrej, Umang Bedi, Arijit Bose, Krishna Ram Bhupal and Aditya Ghosh amongst others.
