The heartthrob was quoted saying, “I have worked on the smallest of details of his character. I even visited a dentist to learn about their profession.”
However, Aaryan mentioned the negative impacts of such preparation as well and said, “When you start behaving like a character, things do happen to you in a similar way then.”
“I had heard about it from other actors and had read about it too. I did go through it. I won’t lie about it. I was someone who liked to spend a lot of time with his family and friends, but after Freddy, I had become a loner for a while,” he explained.

“Suddenly I started thinking like that. I had started to get weird thoughts in my mind and there were also sleepless nights,” Aaryan recalled.
