I told him this is a London body, made by eating milk, cheese and everything there. I told him he will shed all the muscle in India and he actually lost some muscle. He got upset. Next time when he was shooting for the film, he told me now I won’t lose any muscle. I ask him, ‘How?’ and he took me to a room which was filled with milk cartons from London. I rolled over laughing.”
