While explaining the condition, Shah said ‘I suffer from an ailment called onomatomania. I’m not joking. It’s a medical condition. You can check it in the dictionary. He also mentioned that Onomatomania is an ailment in which a person keeps repeating a word or a phrase, a sentence or even a verse or a speech for absolutely no reason. Except that one likes to hear it. ‘I do it all the time so I am never quite at rest. Even when I am sleeping, I am going over some passage I love’, he added.
