Pawan Kalyan on his struggle with depression

Pawan Kalyan talked extensively about his personal life and his struggle with depression during his interview with Unstoppable host NBK. Pawan felt his battle with depression was unbearable, but he overcame it. He continued by saying that he is not social due to his asthma and feels alone because of his frequent hospital stays. The stress of the exam only made his depression worse, and the actor even considered killing himself with his brother, Chiranjeevi's gun. Talking about the same, he stated:

 “My struggles with depression were overwhelming, but I fought through it. I have asthma and felt isolated due to frequent hospitalisation. Therefore, I’m not much of a social person. At the age of 17, the pressure of exams only added to my depression. I remember planning to take my own life by using the licensed revolver of my eldest brother (Chiranjeevi Konidela) when he was not at home.”

Pawan further revealed that his older brother, Konidela Nagendra and sister-in-law, Surekha came to his rescue at the perfect moment with their prompt action. His brother and actor, Chiranjeevi, asked Pawan to live for him and that it was okay even if he didn't wish to do anything. Pawan Kalyan then turned to literature, learning martial arts, playing Carnatic music, and other activities for solace. He said:

“My brother told me, ‘Just live for me. If you don’t do anything, that’s fine. But please live.’ From then on, I taught myself and found solace in reading books, practising Carnatic music, martial arts, and other pursuits.”
