In a recent conversation with ZOOM on their YouTube channel, the actor opened up about his struggle with anger issues and substance use. During the chat, he revealed that he was extremely angry as a child, and his parents’ absence really got to him. He added that while he was growing up, he experienced immense anger and depression; however, it came afterwards for him. He shared that he was filled with so much rage that once he was watching television, his mother, late actress, Smita Patil’s movie, was playing, and he got so mad about her not being there with him that he broke the TV set. He was quoted as saying:
“My experience with depression came much later; in my childhood I dealt with a lot of anger. I was angry all the time, and I was filled with rage. I remember watching the television, and one of my mother’s movies was playing. I was angry that she wasn’t there with me, and I picked up the TV and broke it. I even took a baseball bat to all the pictures in the house.”
