It was an emotional moment for Kunal Kapoor aka Yudi in Left Right Left. The actor was moved to tears when he was asked to enact a suicide sequence where he was supposed to shoot himself. Ironically, Kunal's mother had committed suicide when the actor was only nine years old.

Recalls Kunal, "I was shooting with Rajeev Khandelwal. It was a terrible moment for me when the director asked me to give the shot. It was like life holding a mirror before me, reminding me of my tragic past. I felt scared and sad at the same time, but both Rajeev and my director Anshuman were very supportive. After finishing the scene, I cried for good half-an-hour in the green room."

Says director Anshuman Singh, "Kunal was reluctant to do the scene and I had to motivate him before he finally agreed. It was a difficult scene as well."
