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.

Dealing with anxiety isn't easy and it's nice to see Vicky share his common struggles. If you are someone who too, has anxiety issues, it is suggested to seek professional help to overcome it.
