Mumbai: Veteran Bollywood actor Naseeruddin Shah has revealed he suffers from a condition called onomatomania, where a person keeps repeating a particular word or phrase.
He mentioned that it does not let him rest, even when he's sleeping.
Speaking on Chalchitra YouTube channel, during an interview, the "Mirch Masala" actor said: “I suffer from an ailment called onomatomania. I'm not joking. It's a medical condition. You can check it in the dictionary.”
Shah added “Onomatomania is an ailment in which you keep repeating a word or a phrase, a sentence or a verse or a speech for no reason at all. Except that you like to hear it.” “I do it all the time so I am never quite at rest. Even when I am sleeping, I am going over some passage I love,” Shah concluded.
The "Jane Bhi Do Yaron" actor was last seen in the Shakun Batra directorial “Gehraiyaan” starring Deepika Padukone, Ananya Panday and Siddhant Chaturvedi.
