“They said Bollywood actors were uspset because I made them wait on the sets. I would come late because I would get anxiety attacks and would be nervous. But I would call and apologise to them later, and that’s the reason the stars came back to shoot with me,” said Kapil.

Kapil also mentioned that he never had an issue with his colleague Sunil Grover and that Sunil is a very dear friend. He claims that the Australia flight issue was also blown out of proportion.

“I was very stressed because we had been on a hectic schedule. One of the actors I had worked with had lost his life, the previous night. I really wanted to cancel the Australia tour but I couldn’t because the tickets were sold out. That’s not all, one of my crew members, a girl had had an issue with my childhood friend Chandan, she had come crying to me. I was angry at Chandan and shouted at him.  Mera Sunil ke saath to koi jhagda hua hi nahi. I was yelling at Chandan and he just came in between,” elaborates Kapil.

 

Dealing with Depression

Some of the signs of depression are so common that you can easily confuse them with everyday issues such as a change in appetite, prolonged sadness, trouble concentrating, changes in sleeping pattern, and inactiveness, loneliness, worthlessness – all symptoms lasting for minimum period of 2 weeks.

Dr Pallavi Arvind Joshi Consultant Psychiatry, Columbia Asia Hospital, Whitefield suggests some ways in which individuals can take measures to prevent depression and anxiety:

  • Regular exercise: Exercising regularly can help people cope with pressure, stress, and anxiety. Exercise helps in improved blood circulation in the body, release stress and pressure of day-to-day life. Moreover, regular exercise helps in secretion of positive hormones and boosts the feel-good factor
  • Healthy diet: A balanced diet including two fruit servings and milk is important to be healthy. In some cases, people who suffer from depression tend to eat more. Controlling of eating habits can help them relieve pressure. Try to include plenty of green vegetables like spinach and fruits as it helps ease depression
  • Set goals: When a person is depressed he/she might not feel like doing anything. The feeling of hopelessness can lead the person to take drastic steps. Therefore, it is important that people set small goals and accomplish them to boost a sense of self-confidence.
  • Get in a routine: When you feel, distressed try structuring a routine for yourself. Focus on your routine and follow it regularly. This will help you achieve positive results for yourself and you will feel happy
  • Get enough sleep: Sleep is an important part of our lives. While depressed or worried, people might find it hard to get sound sleep. Therefore, it is important to make some changes in your daily routine like exercising, brisk walking, attending dance classes or pursuing long-awaited hobby. Take all distractions out of your bedroom and make sure there is no TV or computer in your bedroom. Try to keep your phone away and go to sleep early.
