I am keeping an eye on it and enjoying every bit of it.  I am trying to be injury-free.”

“In the beginning, they were so worried that I had gained so much weight. But later, when they got to know that I am doing it for a show, it was okay. I am sure it will take lot of time to reduce weight ,” he added.
