Took help of doctor to stop being an emotional wreck post Satyamev Jayate, says Aamir Khan
Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, who is popularly known as Mr. Perfectionist of the tinsel town has successfully impressed fans of both small and silver screen. Talking about his popular TV show "Satyamev Jayate", Aamir has revealed that filming his talk show was such a "traumatic" experience for him he had to consult a doctor by the end of the first season.
The show focuses on sensitive social issues prevalent in the country, from female foeticide, child sexual abuse to honour killings.
"Going through that entire journey of the first season was very traumatic for me. To the extent, I had become emotionally very brittle, I was in very bad shape. At the end of the one year, I could not go out. For absolutely no reason at all, I would just break down," Aamir said.
The actor said it troubled him more as he isn't trained in distancing himself while listening to people's emotional turmoil.
"I was an emotional wreck. I also got some help from a doctor. It was just very... (tough) because I am not trained to listen to emotional issues of people and keep a distance. I am not able to do that."
He speaking at a session 'Giving Matters' at NASSCOM Technology and Leadership Forum.
When one of the guests on "Satymev Jayate" narrated how he lost his son in a road rage, where he was beaten to death, Aamir said he couldn't help but think of his son Junaid.
