The entire exercise helped me realise that this is what I wanted to do. I then performed at the South Filmfare awards where Prabhu Deva spotted me and complimented me.

He asked me to take it lightly but I could not, so I went on a diet plan for two months. From 90 kilos I came to around 70 kilos in a span of two months. I did this just to prove that I am not obese and no one can call me fat even if it is a part of the script.”
