Actor Puneet Vashisht says that Shah Rukh Khan cut his scenes in the film “Josh,” and he recalls how the change affected him. Vashisht says the experience led him into depression and alcoholism.
In his comments, Vashisht describes a period where he felt his talent and confidence were present but “not being used,” which he links to his worsening mental health and substance issues. The two excerpts provided from NDTV both attribute this account to Vashisht, referring to the same film and the same claims about scene cuts and subsequent struggles.
No additional details such as the specific scenes, the reason for the cuts, timing, or responses from Shah Rukh Khan or the film’s production team are included in the provided materials. The focus across the sources is on Vashisht’s personal recollection of events and their impact on his well-being rather than on the filmmaking decision itself.
