Health struggles
Kapoor's health issues during that time
Kapoor also opened up about his deteriorating health due to these issues.
He revealed that he was diagnosed with diabetes and was on insulin three times a day, but continued working for 14 hours a day.
"I kept gaining more and more weight. My doctors told me that I had become unhealthy and that I could die in six months," he said on the show.
The actor also faced severe depression during this time.
Work-life balance
'I became a monster'
Kapoor admitted that his health issues severely affected his behavior and work ethic.
"I became a very, very ugly person. Main 6-6 ghanta late pahunchta tha shooting pe. Main set pe daaru peeta tha. Main logon se bahut bure tareeke se baat karta tha."
"I became a monster. Finally, the show ended because of me. I had become such a human being that I am ashamed of myself."
Family support
On co-contestant Harshad Chopda's suicide attempt
Kapoor also spoke about his co-contestant Harshad Chopda's suicide attempt, saying that if he didn't have kids, he might have done the same.
"If I didn't have kids, I would have done what Harshad had done. When you have kids, you live for them and don't have the right to stop our lives."
"It's been over 10 years, and today I am very happy as a human being," he added.
