On the issue of mental health, Jotwani said, "I believe in a lot of mental health. I am an actor, who has been through something, so I also believe that every day can’t be the best. There is unsaid magic that happens in a day. It could be anything, a dog coming to you. I was shooting in Rishikesh on Jhulla. I was sick because of the weather. I just sat for some time as we were about to shoot, I felt a good vibe at that moment."

On facing depression and dealing with it, he said, "To be very honest, it keeps coming back. I am more aware and I detach now. I don’t get involved very heavily. There is nothing bigger than life. It never goes away and comes back in some form or the other but you can channelize your mind. Actors nowadays are talking about mental health because something has happened. Deepika has been vocal but apart from her, we have to wait for somebody to die and then we talk about it. Kushal Punjabi passed away, we spoke about him for a week then nobody spoke. I am out there and telling people that mental health is a big thing."
