I have too busy a schedule to stick to an exercise plan, so I decided to diet.

I restricted myself to a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and soon enough lost five kgs. Encouraged by that, I continued to follow a balanced diet and lost another 13 kgs. I feel much better now that I am 18 kgs lighter.

In Kannada cinema, the introduction song for the hero is normally, as we call it, a massy commercial number.

In 'Barfi,' we have departed from regular commercial stuff and used the melody 'Bare Bare,' sung by Sonu Nigam as the introductory song for Diganth.

Moreover, if a song is a hit, film makers come to us with requests to score similar tracks. In the process, commercial songs sometimes sound repetitive.

I am really blessed to work with top stars of Kannada film industry.
