Kapil Sharma On Battling Depression
Kapil Sharma, who is now promoting his forthcoming movie Zwigato, opened up about the most difficult time in his life when he struggled with depression and anxiety. In a recent visit to Aaj Tak’s Seedhi Baat, the actor-comedian claimed that the enormous failure of his directorial debut, Firangi, had a negative impact on his mental health. “Millions of people know you as a public figure, and you amuse them. But you are by yourself when you return home. Also, you are not in a position to lead a regular life in which you can walk outside or sit on the beach and gaze at the sea. You live in a two-bedroom apartment. And when it gets dark outside, I can’t even begin to describe how awful that feels,” he said.
Kapil claimed that he experienced frequent suicidal thoughts. It was due to the failure of his debut film Firangi and the controversy that followed his falling out with fellow comic Sunil Grover. “At that period, I even considered killing myself. I had the impression that no one could understand how I felt. Mental health is not a subject that is readily discussed where I am from. This wasn’t the first time I went through a similar phase, I believe. Perhaps I must have been depressed as a child, but no one would have known,” admitted Kapil Sharma.
Nonetheless, the host is appreciative of that time. He believes it made him stronger and that it was a valuable learning experience. The actor and comedian also stated that he learned to appreciate the little things in life through his protracted struggle with melancholy and anxiety.
