00:00I was very, very big. I was unhealthy. I was unfit.

00:03And I lost 30 kilos to do your film.

00:06And still people found, you know, words to say about me,

00:09about my shape, about how I look.

00:11And still they are talking, so to hell with it.

00:14I'll stay the way I am.

00:15You can watch it or not.

00:18Block is my favourite button on social media.

00:30Yeah.

00:40Let me tell you one thing.

00:42That the people in the social media are very, very concerned about your life.

00:46There are some people in social media who are more interested in you.

00:49I mean, more than your parents.

00:51They are interested in your career, your love life,

00:55in your health, in your shape,

00:58in any of your career decisions.

01:02Correct.

01:02Would you like to see some of the comments?

01:04Would you be brave enough to read them?

01:06I don't have a real golden name.

01:08Yeah. Let's see.

01:10Very brave. And I read them every day.

01:12It's actually a sort of entertainment for me.

01:14Yes.

01:14Because such people, I mean, they don't have a life or identity.

01:18They are faceless.

01:19They are like snipers.

01:20Correct. Correct.

01:22And sometimes there are such comments

01:24that they know more about our work than us.

01:27Yes.

01:27They might not have even been to the film set.

01:30And I get such special comments.

01:33I find it very entertaining.

01:34Yeah. So, let's see.

01:35I am okay.

01:35MohitTR1997.

01:38Madam, do a hunger strike. You will lose weight.

01:41You will get more roles.

01:43I can't do more roles than this.

01:45Sorry. Please.

01:46I have a lot of roles. I have a lot of work.

01:48Okay?

01:49Next.

01:50Devika.Mehta. 5855.

01:53Abey Moti.

01:54Oh, my God.

01:55Okay.

01:56How did you become fat?

01:58Abey...

02:01Sekhar45...

02:03No, son. You can't do it.

02:05I can do it. Who else can?

02:07Yes. Of course.

02:08From the time you made your debut.

02:09Yeah.

02:10You've just...

02:11365 days a year, I am working.

02:14I am out of the house.

02:15And when I get a break,

02:17or when I accidentally cancel a shoot,

02:19or something happens, or the dates are pushed,

02:21I feel like, what do I do with myself?

02:23What do I do with myself?

02:24So, no, son. I am doing it.

02:27Don't worry about it.

02:28Pankil2509.

02:30Buffalo going workout.

02:33B-U-F-F-E-L-L-O.

02:37First, learn the spelling.

02:40Obviously, like you're giving an answer,

02:41and you're taking it in your own stride,

02:43and you know how to ignore these comments.

02:45Yeah.

02:46Earlier, I used to read it,

02:47and I used to think, you know,

02:49how do they get themselves to say things like that?

02:52Because if you can't say things in front of someone,

02:56how do you have the courage to say it online?

02:58If someone comes up to me and says this,

03:00I won't give them two punches.

03:01Right.

03:02Yeah.

03:02Some courage that they get from being hidden.

03:05From being hidden. From being faceless.

03:06But nowadays, even on social media,

03:09there is nothing that is realistically hidden.

03:10That's true.

03:11Obviously, your IP address can be found.

03:13Yeah.

03:13And tomorrow, if any action has to be taken,

03:16can be taken.

03:17In fact, when I did Dabangg,

03:19you had seen me before that.

03:21And I was very, very big.

03:22I was unhealthy. I was unfit.

03:24Yeah.

03:25And I lost 30 kilos to do your film.

03:27And still, people found, you know,

03:30words to say about me, about my shape,

03:32about how I looked.

03:33And honestly, I used to go in the defense's face.

03:36You know what?

03:37I've put in so much effort.

03:39I've reduced so much.

03:41They've not seen the half of it.

03:42They've not seen the effort that has gone in.

03:44They've not seen the blood, sweat and the tears

03:46that have gone in.

03:46And that should be an inspiration, actually.

03:47Yeah.

03:48And still, they are talking.

03:49So, to hell with it.

03:50To hell with it.

03:50I'll stay the way I am.

03:52You can see if you want to.

03:54You can't see if you don't want to.

03:55Being a celebrity, I think, you...

03:58I'm not saying expect it.

03:59But you feel that this is part of the...

04:03Yeah.

04:04You have to take the praise and the brickbats, I feel.

04:07If the criticism is constructive,

04:10if it helps me,

04:11I will happily read it.

04:13I will understand it.

04:14I will take it in the good spirit.

04:16But if you're talking like this,

04:18if there's a fight at home with your wife,

04:20you're taking it out on me online.

04:22I'm not going to take it, boss.

04:24So, if you take any action...

04:27So, what is the action that you take?

04:28I mean, what is the maximum that you can do?

04:30Is it block them?

04:31Or do you comment on them?

04:32Right now, I block them.

04:34Sometimes, I used to reply back

04:36with an equally hard answer.

04:40I know how to give a brick answer.

04:43But honestly, I felt that

04:45they look forward to that also.

04:48And if you don't like someone,

04:50you hate the person,

04:51oh my God, you're so ugly,

04:54then why do you follow them?

04:55To comment on them?

04:56Do you have so much time at home?

04:58Block is my favourite button on social media.
