At a mental health event recently, the actor revealed that he himself faced mental health conditions.

“There is a reason why I want to talk about mental health because I have lived it. Depression can be caused because of many reasons and the root needs to be identified. It has been a difficult journey, maybe not for me but for my loved ones because I got great help and support from them. Bipasha Basu was there. It is something that we need to speak about,” Grover had said while talking to the media.
