Q. You are used to taking your shirt off. Was taking your pants off to wear a langot in 'Sultan' awkward?
A. (Laughs) That's the sport, yaar! I have to wear whatever a wrestler wears. If I were a swimmer, I would be wearing trunks. If I hadn't worn it (langot), it would have looked awkward. Yes, the first time I saw a crowd, I panicked to think I would be stepping out in a langot in front of them. But then I saw the other wrestlers coolly walking around in langots. It is because I am a celebrity, I was worried some of the people will go crazy looking at me like that and then it would lead to security guys asking them to leave. But once I got into the shot, I was comfortable. Also, I knew I was looking fit. If my legs were looking thin or something like that, it would have been awkward. Thank God, the body is proportionate. This is my body. A lot of people, before shoot begins, pump up; I have not done that in the last 20 years. See, you can see a bit of tummy; I am comfortable with that because that's a wrestler's body and it shouldn't look groomed and chiselled. I had first planned on having this ripped look, but when I saw real wrestlers, they told me, 'Please don't do this six pack thing'.
