Actor Kriti Sanon recently opened up about how the exhausting demands of film promotions can take a toll on an artiste’s mental health.

“Promotions can be very tiring. I almost had a breakdown when I was promoting Bhediya (2022),” she revealed during a recent episode of YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast, adding, “That year, I had two or three other releases, so I had already done promotions two or three times before.”

The 34-year-old highlighted the hectic itineraries followed by the cast during promotions: “We were travelling to different cities back-to-back. We even took a charter at night, jumping cities, sleeping at night, going to another city, doing interviews and repeating the same things again and again. I wished I could have my answers on a tape recorder. Like, dial 1 for this question and 2 for another. By the end of it, both Varun (Dhawan, co-actor) and I had memorized each other’s answers.”

Sanon also recounted her breakdown on the final day of the promotions while getting ready for an appearance on a reality show: “I was getting ready in my vanity van. And during some random conversation, I started crying. I said, ‘I’m very tired; I can’t do this. I’m exhausted.’ Everyone around me froze. Of course, it affects your mental health. Whenever you’re doing things that internally don’t make you happy or you don’t enjoy doing, then you get stressed,” she said.
