00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:31,100
So few days back, I had put out a letter 
on Twitter..

2
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,100
about what I went through in the last 2.5 
years of my life..

3
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,700
It was a highly depressing phase that I had 
to come out of..

4
00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:43,800
When I first met my trainer Hari, I was very 
low and had a dull mindset,

5
00:00:46,300 --> 00:00:48,700
At the very beginning, Vishnu came to me 
with an injury..

6
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,100
He was in a very bad shape..

7
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,300
Doctors had advised him not to train for 
six months..

8
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,300
I clearly explained my body's condition to 
him,

9
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,000
I even told him about my mindset, over the 
phone..

10
00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:06,200
When he came down, he had 3 severe injuries 
in his spine..

11
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:11,100
People who generally have such injuries cannot 
even bend and lift stuff..

12
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:16,000
At the start, he even had shivering issues 
on his hands and back pains,

13
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,300
This was not only during training, it even 
happened when he was at home..

14
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:25,400
At the start, I was too low..

15
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:32,000
He used to constantly explain his moods, 
phases and mindsets to me..

16
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,900
Planning Vishnu's diet was also challenging, 
because he's a stress eater..

17
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,900
When he's stressed out, he eats a lot..

18
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,300
I could not follow diets at 100% at the very 
beginning itself,

19
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,000
I love eating, so I asked for cheat meals 
during weekends..

20
00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:06,600
I worked out a diet plan with right amounts 
of carbs, fats and protein..

21
00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:10,300
It was very balanced with micros and macros 
worked out..

22
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,500
In the same way, in my letter, I had written 
about my alcohol addiction,

23
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,200
You wont believe me, but I never touched 
alcohol until I was 27..

24
00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:34,700
After I entered cinema, it began with social 
drinking..

25
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,000
Depression takes you to unwanted quarters,

26
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,700
And in that muddle, I swayed to alcohol a 
little too much..

27
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,800
I actually hated that addiction, and wanted 
to come out of it,

28
00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:47,100
I spoke to Hari about it,

29
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,600
and he said that we would deal with it, little 
by little..

30
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:55,700
At the beginning of the exercise routine, 
we limited alcohol to 2-3 days a week..

31
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,700
Later on, he started realizing it himself,

32
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,200
That his body changed a lot when he didnt 
drink at all..

33
00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:05,300
He used to take supplements such as zinc 
and magnesium,

34
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,500
And at those times, he knew that he shouldn't 
drink at all..

35
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,500
Generally, he used to take the supplements 
by 7PM,

36
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,200
After that, even if he went out to parties, 
he remembered to stay away from alcohol..

37
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:23,500
For the last two months, I've been completely 
cut off from alcohol..

38
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,500
No cheat meal at all!

39
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,000
I've been brought to that mindset..

40
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:35,000
I wanted to do something I haven't done in 
life previously, told him it was my goal..

41
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,000
He asked me, what was it? And I told him 
about getting a six pack..

42
00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:41,400
He had previously fixed a date,

43
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:44,900
December 31st, he wanted a six pack..

44
00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:51,100
When we worked with that mindset, it was 
wonderful..

45
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,200
Six pack might just be a physical attraction 
for some..

46
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:01,700
But for me, it was about getting positivity 
by doing something totally new..

47
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,000
When I told Hari about it, he asked me for 
six months..

48
00:04:06,700 --> 00:04:08,300
He assured me that it could be done in six 
months..

49
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,600
I never believed him, thinking that he was 
saying it for fun..

50
00:04:11,300 --> 00:04:14,100
That's how the journey started..

51
00:04:22,100 --> 00:04:25,300
In my long term goal, this is my first step..

52
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,100
That's how I see this achievement..
