Rising Bollywood actor Vedang Raina who played the role of actress Alia Bhatt's brother in 'Jigra', opened up about the impact of doing an emotionally intense film like ‘Jigra’ on his mental health.

In an interview with an Indian magazine, Vedang Raina recalled his experience of shooting for his sophomore project 'Jigra'.

The emotionally charged action thriller, co-starring Alia Bhatt, follows the story of a brother-sister duo, where her character Satya struggles to save her brother Ankur [Raina], who is imprisoned in a foreign jail.

Recalling his experience, the one-film-old actor said, “Alia would be in the scene, hit all the right notes with precision, and get out of the character as soon as she hears ‘cut’. But I couldn’t.”

“It is not easy for me to come in and out of character. It did impact my mental health a bit,” he admitted.

Raina continued, “On the very first day, I was to shoot a rather emotionally intense scene, and I shut myself in my vanity, put the lights off, switched off my phone, and told people to just leave me alone—I sat there listening to my music. Now, as luck would have it, the shot was supposed to happen at 3 p.m. but got delayed and we started rolling around 8 p.m. So, I was in that self-imposed solitary confinement for about 8 long hours, and it really started impacting me.”

“Even when the scenes were done, I couldn’t get out of that zone for 2-3 hours,” he shared.
