Obsessed stars article

Many of us are often overtly obsessed with a habit. It could be an obsession with cleanliness, constant checking of a thing for fear of losing it or obsession with shopping. Medically termed obsessive compulsion disorder, it is a psychiatric anxiety.

Tellychakkar spoke to some TV celebs to find out if they had any such tendencies.

Kanchi Kaul:
I'm obsessed about two things - my laptop and cleanliness. If I'm not shooting for the day then I can hook on to my notebook for the entire day. Cleanliness is another thing which I'm particular about. Although, I don't clean myself I make sure that the house is kept clean. I'm fortunate as the need to pick up the broom myself hasn't arised as yet.

Prachi Desai:
I don't suffer from OCD per se but I'm always obsessed about work. When I started working, I was a bit nervous when facing the camera. To ease this use, I used to spend hours reciting my dialogues. I used to even recite them during my sleep. This often worried my parents. However, with time this has stopped.

One compulsive disorder (if you can call it one) that I have is to feast on chocolates and ice creams. I can't live without having them even for a day. My bag is always full of chocolates. This morning, I had an ice-cream for breakfast.

Divyanka Tripathy:
I've never suffered from OCD but being a psychology student, I was always fascinated by this subject. I've studied it in detail. I've come across such persons and one of them happened to be my relative. He was obsessed with cleanliness. He would wash vegetables numerous times.

Sharad Jagtiani: Since I live alone in Mumbai, and whenever I step outside the house, I'm always worried about the safety issues. Before leaving the house, I check thoroughly whether the geyser is not left on, the gas cylinder isn't on and all the electrical switches are off. There have been times when I've stepped out of the house only to return to check whether all gadgets are switched off.
