Kailash went on to say that he used to believe that he was a loser and felt like an outcast among his peers owing to the difference in opinion with his fellow mates, who were much younger to him. Kailash Kher felt he had failed in life; therefore, he even tried to end his life by jumping into the river Ganga. Talking about the same, Kailash stated:
"I used to feel that I was a misfit there as my fellow mates were younger than me and my views never matched theirs. I was dejected as I was failing in everything..so one day I tried to commit suicide by jumping into the river Ganga.”
Kailash Kher also described how someone at the Ganga ghat swiftly dived into the holy river to save him. The Teri Deewani singer also revealed how that person yelled and hit him on his head after knowing his intentions. He said:
A person at the Ghat jumped in the Ganga immediately and saved me. He asked, ‘Tairna nahin aata gaya kyu tha? (Why did you jump when you don’t know how to swim?)’ I replied, ‘Marne (to die)’… aur meri suicide ki baat jaane ke baad unhone mujhe tez ki tapli maari sar pe (after learning about my intentions of ending my life, he hit me hard on my head).”
