Johny spoke in Hindi which loosely translates to, “I had difficulties when I was younger. I have my family to take care of. Food would only be available if I worked. When my father drank, he would lose his sense of judgement. He was formerly a notorious rowdy. I had thrown away his weapons so many times.”
The actor went on, “I went to a railway track to commit suicide when I was 13 years old. I had had enough of my dad. I proceeded to the track and the train approached. I quickly left the trail when my three younger sisters’ faces suddenly materialised in front of me, asking, “What will happen to us?”

Johhny continued recounting the events of that evening, saying, “It must be around 6.45 pm or 7pm.” After getting up, I moved closer to a barbershop where music was playing. I sat on the bench that was behind the store.
