Hrithik Roshan says he was on ‘verge of depression’ after War: ‘Thought I was dying’

When Kris asked why he felt so, Hrithik said that he wasn’t prepared for the demands of the film and felt that he was against a “big challenge.” The Vikram Vedha actor said that he was aiming for perfection and was scared that if he did not achieve that, “people would know that I’m not that good.”

“I was destroying something inside while trying to achieve that perfection and I think that took its toll, mentally, physically because after the film I went into a adrenal fatigue and I was, for 3-4 months, I just couldn’t train. I wasn’t feeling good. I was almost on the verge of depression. So I was completely lost and that’s when I knew that I need to make a change in my life,” he said.

War, released in 2019, was one of the biggest hits of Hrithik Roshan in recent years. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the film also starred Tiger Shroff. Hrithik will soon be collaborating with Siddharth again for Fighter, also starring Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor. Fighter releases in January 2024.
