After moving to India from London for the shoot of the film ‘Betaab,’ Sunny imported a room full of milk cartons from London. He did so as he shed weight after moving to India. In an interview, Vindu Dara Singh said,
He had built a lot of muscle during his time in London. He looked like Rambo. He told me that his film Betaab is going to start in 2-3 months. 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.”
