Kapil Sharma has talked about the phase of his life when he was depressed and thought about suicide.

The comedian-actor in his latest interview with Aaj Tak’s Seedhi Baat in Hindi, revealed that he wanted to end his life despite having fame and money in 2017.

He said: "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."

When, he was asked if he ever had suicidal thoughts, to which comedian replied: "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."

He further said:  "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," concluded Kapil.

On the work front, Kapil is all set to hit the cinema screen  with his upcoming film Zwigato. The film will be released on March 17.
