Speaking with Times Now, Sahil said, "I just had money to survive or I had money only to decide whether I will have dinner or lunch. This happened for 1-2 years. I had to decide every day whether I would have lunch or dinner. That was the struggle I went through. I have been there and lived with 5-6 people in a house without a bed. Neeche sote thei (We would sleep on the ground)."

"It is more difficult when you are from a good family. I had a lot of struggles. I am from a decent good family and I came in my own wish. My parents did not want me to be in this field. I never took any money from them. I hardly had any money to go to an acting school. I just had money to survive," he added.

Last month, Sahil announced his decision to quit social media. However, a few days later he took to Instagram and issued an apology video for 'unintentionally' scaring people with his message. He had said that he did a 'dark film' which left him disturbed and he had to consult a psychologist.
