• He plays a food delivery agent in the movie.

In 2017, actor and comedian Kapil Sharma opened up about the time in his life when he contemplated suicide. He appeared following his box office failure with Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon and his altercation with Sunil Grover, a comedian who appeared on The Kapil Sharma Show the same year. When reflecting on the past, he described it as a teaching moment from which he has since recovered.

Next up for Kapil is the upcoming Nandita Das movie Zwigato. He plays a food delivery agent in the movie. It is scheduled to debut on March 17. Shahana Goswami will also appear. As Zwigato was being promoted, Kapil was asked for advise on how to deal with feelings of loneliness or depression. Despite his fandom, he mentioned how he previously felt alone.

“As a public figure, crores of people know you, you entertain them, but when you come home, you are alone. You are also not in a situation to live a normal life where you can go out, sit on the beach and look at the sea. You live in a two-room flat, and when it’s dark outside by evening, I cannot explain how bad the feeling is in that situation.” Kapil was afterwards questioned if he had ever considered suicide. The actor replied in the affirmative.

“In that phase, I thought about committing suicide. I thought there is nobody with whom I can share what I feel. The place where I come from, mental health is not something that is discussed. I don’t think this was the first time that I went through this phase. Maybe, during childhood, I must have felt low, but nobody would have noticed. Once you go out to earn money, and you are single, there’s nobody to take care of you, to make you understand things, you do not get to know if people around you have ulterior motives, especially if you are an artist. But after you go through such a phase, you start to take notice of things going around you. Your eyes open up. If an artist is sensitive, it doesn’t mean that he is stupid,” added Kapil.
