Actor Vijay Verma recently spoke openly about the difficult phase of his life. He told that he had gone into depression during the lockdown. Felt very lonely. At that time Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira Khan helped him.

In Rhea Chakraborty’s podcast, Vijay told that when I was young, I liked my father very much. When he came from business trips, he used to bring gifts for me. His nature was very strong. He was short-tempered, unpredictable and a bit of a show-off. I was surprised to see all this.

Vijay further said that but with increasing age his relationship with his father changed. He said that as soon as he reached adolescence, his father’s love diminished. He wanted to teach me a lot, interfered in everything from career to friends. He had problems with everything I did.

Gradually Vijay became close to his mother. He said that his mother became his biggest emotional support.

Later, when he got admission in the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune, he decided to go without telling his father.

He said, “I lied to my father on the phone that I had got a scholarship and the course was for one year. He (father) said, ‘Leave before I return.’ I packed my bag and left. “I didn’t want any fight.”

Even after completing the course, getting work was not easy. Vijay said, “I struggled for about 10 years. Nothing worked until ‘Gully Boy’ came. That film changed my life.”

He got recognition from the web series Mirzapur and Roar, but everything stopped in the lockdown of 2020 and he went into depression.

Then Vijay started therapy. He said, “I had severe depression and anxiety. The doctor prescribed medicine, but I said I would first try to manage on my own.”

Aamir’s daughter Ira works to raise awareness about mental health. He has established ‘Agatsu Foundation’ for mental health.

He told, “I used to cry many times while doing yoga. I had never told my inner thoughts to anyone. Everything started coming out through therapy and yoga.”

Vijay said, “I still regret leaving home. I struggled for 10 years and got nothing. Now I understand everything.”

He told, “Ira had said that there is nothing wrong in doing therapy. If we do not heal the wounds of our childhood, they always remain in the mind.”
