He revealed that he adopted an “anti-social” lifestyle during the filming process, which involved workshops, training, and maintaining a strict diet. Aaryan stated, “I was living an anti-social life. Not that I was very social before, but during this process, I was completely anti-social. And I started liking it.” He further explained that while shooting for Bhool Bhulaiyaa and doing his first scene, he was advised that his energy levels had dropped and needed to be raised. Aaryan found it challenging to strike the right balance, as he felt he may have been overacting.
However, he eventually found his rhythm.Aaryan also discussed the dietary changes he made for the film, stating, “It was about leaving everything that I was eating. Everything I was then eating was new to me. It was something that never tasted good.” These lifestyle adjustments had a transformative effect on the actor, turning him into a more meditative, positive, and spiritual individual. He acknowledged that he had some negative aspects in his life and had experienced bouts of insomnia.
