Took help of doctor to stop being an emotional wreck post Satyamev Jayate: Aamir

Superstar Aamir Khan has revealed that filming his talk show "Satyamev Jayate" was such a "traumatic" experience for him he had to consult a doctor by the end of the first season.

The show focuses on sensitive social issues prevalent in the country, from female foeticide, child sexual abuse to honour killings.

"Going through that entire journey of the first season was very traumatic for me. To the extent, I had become emotionally very brittle, I was in very bad shape. At the end of the one year, I could not go out. For absolutely no reason at all, I would just break down," Aamir said.

The actor said it troubled him more as he isn't trained in distancing himself while listening to people's emotional turmoil.

"I was an emotional wreck. I also got some help from a doctor. It was just very... (tough) because I am not trained to listen to emotional issues of people and keep a distance. I am not able to do that."
"I was thinking what if someone does that to my son, how will I feel? I used to always put myself in that person's shoes. As a result it took a big toll on me emotionally."
