This is not the first time Vicky has talked about his mental health. Earlier, in a conversation with Nikhil Taneja on his show Be A Man Yaar, the actor shared how he was self-critical and had an inferiority complex during college. “I was not exactly bullied or ragged, but I had a significant inferiority complex. I think my shyness and fear of crowds often came from that. I was always too thin and lanky, so I would think that I couldn't fight someone.“ He also states how these inferiority complexes damaged him so much and affected his mental health.
