In the ten-minute-long video, the MS Dhoni actor further asserted, "I would''ve died by suicide a long time ago but I chose to give myself the time and hope that things would get better, but they didn't. I now have nowhere to go. I don't know what awaits me after I take this step, but I've been through hell in this life.'' He explained that he and his wife were in an unhealthy relationship, which was riddled with constant fights and arguments.
