00:00I was on the road for 4 days.
00:02My family used to think that all my decisions were wrong.
00:06Half of my hair had fallen off.
00:08I had put on weight.
00:10I was eating for 20 rupees.
00:14You had become zero.
00:16So, all this happened during your relationship?
00:20No, I will not say completely but
00:26because of my relation, I take responsibility.
00:29And if I take responsibility, I fulfill it.
00:31During that time, I had bought a house.
00:37I had a loan of 2.5 crores.
00:39Apart from that, I had a total debt of 3.5 crores.
00:49I felt that everything was normal.
00:52My show suddenly stopped.
00:54I was on the road for 4 days.
00:56I had an Audi A6.
00:58I used to sleep in it.
01:00My manager was there.
01:02I had kept all my belongings in his house.
01:07I was completely separated from my family.
01:10You were on the road for 4 days?
01:12Yes, I was on the road for 4 days.
01:14I used to get food from the rickshaw for 20 rupees.
01:17I used to get food in a plastic bag.
01:20I used to get rice and lentils in it.
01:22I used to get 2 rotis in a paper bag for 20 rupees.
01:24Sometimes, I used to get peanuts in it.
01:26I have eaten that food.
01:29I used to feel that today's food is over.
01:33It doesn't happen that I eat food for 20 rupees.
01:36It doesn't happen like that.
01:37Your mindset changes.
01:38If you want to work on it.
01:40Those 4 days were very difficult in my life.
01:43Then I realized that I didn't think about myself.
01:49I forgot myself while doing everything.
01:53I think it's a God's lesson.
01:56Like in a relationship, you were focusing on yourself.
01:59All my personal, professional and personal relationships.
02:04I got divorced.
02:06My friends, because I am not very expressive.
02:11I don't share my problems.
02:13They used to think that I am very difficult.
02:16I used to go into my shell.
02:18I used to think that this would be right.
02:20My family used to think that all my decisions were wrong.
02:25I was not being me.
02:27I was portraying somebody whom I was not.
02:31I was not able to understand those things.
02:34Those 4 days made me understand everything.
02:37Then came a phase where I got psoriasis.
02:41I lost half of my hair.
02:43I became fat.
02:45During that time, a lot of changes came in my life.
02:49Like?
02:51Not looking good in my profession.
02:53It's all about my looks and aura.
02:57I don't know, it just suddenly got bad.
03:04But then somehow, I couldn't go out in the sun.
03:10I couldn't sit without AC.
03:12Plus, I had an insect bite which caused dryness in my body.
03:15When did this happen?
03:17After July 2018, it was March 2019 when I started recovering.
03:27After that, I started working on myself.
