There have been numerous instances when actors get so much involved with their roles that they enter the bleak, dark world of depression. Such was the case with Dilip Kumar, when he worked in ‘Devdas’ and Guru Dutt while making ‘Pyasa’. Perfectionist Aamir is said to have suffered from anxiety about his roles and now it is director-actor-singer Farhan Akhtar, who went through a low phase in life while working for his upcoming film, ‘Karthik Calling Karthik’.

Farhan Akhtar plays an intense character in the film and in order to do justice to the role, farhan  locked himself in his house for eight days and refused to meet or interact with anyone to prepare for his role.

After realizing that he was losing his balance, Farhan took a two-week long holiday overseas and hit the gym, to come back to his normal self. Now, the actor is much better and he is making sure that he keeps up with his family and friends.
