VIDEO: Bollywood Celebrities with Weird Phobias

We all have things we are afraid of and there shouldn’t be anything funny about it.

No one should be mocked because of their phobias, no matter how weird the are.

Wikipedia defines phobia as a type of anxiety disorder, defined by a persistent fear of an object or situation. The phobia typically results in a rapid onset of fear and is present for more than six months.

The affected person will go to great lengths to avoid the situation or object, typically to a degree greater than the actual danger posed. If the feared object or situation cannot be avoided, the affected person will have significant distress.

The video below brings to you Bollywood celebrities who have some really strange phobias.

Badshah of bollywood is afraid of horses. Yes, you heared it right. That is why you will never see him around horses, even on sets. It sometimes causes problem if a film demands him to shoot with horses.

Ranbir Kapoor:

Ladies, you should stop feeling bad now. Because you are not the only one who are afraid of cockroaches and spiders. Chocolaty boy Ranbir Kapoor also maintain a considerable distance from them. Just the sight of the insects has him sweating for good! He cannot sleep if he finds one in his bedroom.

Bipasha Basu:

Bipasha is known for her role in horror films. Guess what she is afraid of? Heights, darkness, grasshoppers? Well, no! She is infact afraid of her own laughter. She can’t bear hearing her own sound when she laughs.
