Naseeruddin Shah says he suffers from a condition, believes it to be ‘medical’
According to Naseeruddin Shah, he suffers from onomatomania, a term he believes is medical in nature.
Talking on the YouTube channel Chalchitra Talks, Shah shared that the condition, which makes a person repeat a particular word or phrase, doesn’t let him rest or even sleep soundly.
“I suffer from an ailment called onomatomania. I’m not joking. It’s a medical condition. You can check it in the dictionary,” shared Shah.
He then went on to explain: “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 revealed.
The actor is revelled for his stellar performances across a multitude of genres in Bollywood, with his latest outing being in the Deepika Padukone starrer Gehraiyaan, in which he was seen playing her father.
