Anger management
Snapping quickly is a problem for me: Ahlawat
Ahlawat shared, "My temper is still a bit of a problem. I snap very quickly, and at that point I don't understand anything." He further explained, "Even though I try my best to keep it under control, once I snap, it becomes very difficult to bring it back on track." The actor usually has to leave the space where he is feeling angry because staying there only increases his anger.

Struggle to speak natural Hindi also triggered his anger
Ahlawat also recalled how he struggled to speak natural Hindi in his early acting days due to his Haryanvi accent. This struggle often led to frustration, which sometimes triggered his anger. "If I am at a place and I am getting irritated by something, I try my best to keep calm or not get affected," he explained.
