He told peepingmoon.com, “My backbone was broken and I was expected to run, not even walk. Till today I am recovering from that, I won’t deny that. Yes, I have suffered loss and dealt with it to my best capacity. Have I dealt with it completely? No. I have bad days.”
He added how he feels empty and vulnerable more than he should but he sees his sister Anshula Kapoor and gets strength from her because she is the representation and extension of his mother.
The actor also opened up on how he had nobody to celebrate with when Ishaqzaade released in theatres. He went on to reveal that while his siter was graduating, his mother passed away and his father was in America with his sister.
He said, “I have faced a lot. I always say tum mera kya bigad sakte ho, mera toh sab kuch lut chuka hai. I am fearless when it comes to facing the negative aspects of life. I have seen the greatest of lows being in the high. Being accepted by the industry and audience and had bonafide mainstream success with my first film but I had nobody to share it with at home.”
He mentioned how he sat alone on the first day and knew this was going to be the rest of his life and he is going to be an actor and had nobody to hug and share it with. He added how he’s close to his father but he has lived with his mother and when one loses a friend who is your parent, it is tough to come out.
