Jason Shah, noted for his role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar,' has gained acclaim for his strong acting prowess. Known for his openness about personal struggles, the actor recently discussed his personal struggle with sex addiction, aiming to offer encouragement to others dealing with similar challenges.

Also, fasting played a crucial role, enhancing his self-control. He aims to assist others by sharing his personal journey and the strategies he employed to better himself.
Jason told Zoom, "I started to build my relationship with God. This involved daily prayers, communicating with His spirit, and learning to replace the negative aspects of my life with positive ones. Fasting played a significant role as it helped me strengthen my willpower and self-control."

"When you focus on God, you’re not only looking at the light but also looking upward, which helps you move away from meaningless distractions. This upward gaze prevents you from seeking instant gratification and instead directs you towards a brighter future. This shift in focus helps you gain greater respect for yourself and others," the actor added.
Talking about helping people, he said, "In today’s world, we often build a facade of a perfect life, which is a poor representation of who we truly are. This facade sends the wrong message to those who look up to us. Admitting your mistakes requires courage, and I find purpose in helping those around me by sharing my journey."
