Nawazuddin
Siddiqui
had
revealed
in
an
interview
that
there
was
a
time
when
his
only
intention
was
to
survive
and
earn
enough
for
his
next
meal.
He
had
shared
that
he
used
to
feel
depressed
at
times,
during
those
days.
Hindustan
Times
quoted
Nawazuddin
as
saying,
"I
have
always
had
mazdoor-like
hardworking,
fighting
spirit.
I
don't
think
that
I
am
bigger
than
them.
I
had
the
same
intentions
as
theirs.
I
didn't
dream
of
becoming
a
star.
My
only
intention
was
to
survive
and
earn
for
the
next
meal.
It
continued
for
10
years.
I
did
odd
jobs
and
walked
to
my
friend's
house
for
food.
There
were
difficult
times
but
we
were
happy
even
then.
But
yes,
I
did
feel
depressed
at
times
because
of
lack
of
work.
Depression
and
frustration
start
when
you
dream
big."
He
continued,
"It
won't
happen
if
you
don't
put
yourself
under
the
pressure," referring
to
depression
and
frustration.
He
added,
"Success
doesn't
guarantee
happiness.
If
happiness
isn't
in
your
nature,
you
will
be
unhappy
even
if
you
have
the
world."
Nawazuddin
further
said,
"Because
I
wasn't
eating
well,
so
I
was
getting
weak
and
my
hair
started
falling
off.
I
used
to
get
tired
after
walking
2
kilometres.
I
felt
as
if
I
am
going
to
die
soon.
Because
of
which
I
used
to
stay
out
all
day
to
see
the
world
because
I
didn't
know
how
many
days
will
I
survive."
In
the
light
of
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death,
conversations
around
mental
health
have
assumed
renewed
importance.
Sushant
was
found
hanging
in
his
apartment
in
Mumbai
on
June
14,
2020.
He
was
reportedly
undergoing
treatment
for
depression
or
six
months.
