Rahul Dholakia reveals he shot Raees with Shah Rukh Khan while his mother was in the ICU.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Filmmaker Rahul Dholakia, best known for Raees, Parzania and Lamhaa, recently opened up about the physical and emotional toll that directing a film can take. In a candid conversation with The Times of India, Dholakia revealed he suffered major health setbacks \u2014 including diabetes, high blood pressure and even a heart attack \u2014 while working on different films.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the intensity of the filmmaking process, Dholakia admitted that it often comes at the cost of one\u2019s mental and physical well-being. \u201cI\u2019ve had diabetes after one film, blood pressure after another, and a heart attack after one more,” he shared.<\/p>\n

The Raees director also discussed the emotional toll he experienced during the shoot of the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer. He revealed that during the first schedule of Raees, his mother was in the ICU, and he was dealing with chronic pain himself. Despite the personal turmoil, he couldn\u2019t afford to step away from the set.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mom was in the ICU, I was suffering from chronic pain\u2026 but I couldn\u2019t take off. SRK was on set, and I had to shoot,” Dholakia recalled. \u201cI would stay with my mom at the hospital at night, then come to set and pretend everything was normal. It was a nightmare but you can\u2019t bring your problems on set.”<\/p>\n

Dholakia also pointed out how discussing mental health is still considered taboo in the film industry. \u201cOur industry is such a performance-driven industry that people are afraid to say they\u2019re not well. There\u2019s always a fear of being dropped. No one wants to look weak,” he said.<\/p>\n

He urged others in the industry to prioritise their mental health and seek help when needed. \u201cThat\u2019s a big problem \u2014 it\u2019s always do or die. Your life is yours. Don\u2019t let anyone take it away from you. If you feel low, don\u2019t feel shy to take help \u2014 you have to look after yourself.”<\/p>\n
