Kapil Sharma reveals struggle with depression

Kapil Sharma is known as a person who spreads smiles on people’s faces through his silly antics and jokes. Yet very few people know that the actor/compere struggled with depression and was on the verge of taking his own life.

According to reports, a fight between Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover affected Sharma’s emotions very badly and he actually contemplated ending his life after that.

At the trailer launch of Firangi, Sharma confessed to drinking excessively and isolating himself from the rest of the world. He said that his mental state became worse once the ratings of The Kapil Sharma Show declined.

According to a report in Bollywood Life, he said, “One of my close friends asked me to shift to his seaside apartment. He thought a change of scene would be good for me. As I saw the wide expanse of the sea from his balcony, I felt like jumping into it. I was depressed; it felt like the world was gunning for me.”

The Kis Kisko Pyar Karoon actor opened up how panic attacks made him vulnerable but he could not discuss his issues in front of everyone. He stated, “I could not step on the stage to perform and would cancel the shoot. I suffered from anxiety and drank myself silly. I would stay locked up in the office with my pet dog. People stopped coming on the show and I went off the radar.”

Rumors of issues with Sharma made rounds after he called off his shoots with Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma for Jab Harry Met Sejal, Ajay Devgn for Badshaho and Arjun Kapoor and Ileana D’Cruz for Mubarakan.

The actor is reportedly doing better and is refocusing on his career now.
