The comedian said, “I could not step on the stage to perform and would cancel the shoot. I suffered from anxiety and drank myself silly. I would stay locked up in the office with my pet dog. People stopped coming on the show and I went off the radar. One of my close friends asked me to shift to his seaside apartment. He thought a change of scene would be good for me. As I saw the wide expanse of the sea from his balcony, I felt like jumping into it. I was depressed; it felt like the world was gunning for me.” Also Read - Tiger 3: Salman Khan-Shah Rukh Khan video from sets goes viral; Dabangg star gets rid of his goatee look [WATCH]

Speaking about slipping into depression, Kapil added, “I used to travel a lot for my film. Almost 7-8 hours used to go in it. And the media used to tell so much about me that I’m an alcoholic and all. I never had a PR to control all the image bashing. Then, there is Twitter and all this pressure. Now, I am impulsive – that’s just the way I am. I can’t do anything about it. However I may be, one thing is certain that I am a complete pure-hearted soul. All this negative publicity had put me in depression.” Also Read - When Deepika Padukone reminded Shah Rukh Khan of their massive age difference when he tried to flirt with her [Watch old viral video]
