The actor posted, "As I look BACK to the year 2022 , I'm nothing but grateful. I'm grateful to my family , to my dear friends and above all to the Almighty , to encourage me and give me the strength and power to go through this difficult transformation. As an actor we mould ourselves in various characters and take up challenges beyond our imagination. When I gained weight for a role of mine , little did I know that it would be so difficult and challenging to lose it all again.
But I guess that is exactly what I needed , a challenge!! 2022 has been the year of me understanding the importance of health , family, love and relationships.
Some stood by me through this journey, some mocked me for being socially disconnected, some appreciated my efforts while some questioned my willpower."
He added that his family and audience was his biggest support, "But I thank My father, my mother, my beloved wife, my brother and my darling daughter for patiently dealing with me and my mood swings. I love you all the most. More importantly I thank you , my audience, my fans, for whom I work tirelessly . You have stood by me all these years and it's your love that has given me the strength to forge ahead . This is for you !! Welcome #2023"
