Recently, I did a psychological test and found out that I am high on the ADHD spectrum. I have ADHD – Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Whenever I told about this to my friends, they were like, ‘We always knew’. This is not some sort of revelation. But, I didn’t know. Then, I understood why I am at peace in front of the camera.”
