"I was really unfit and was leading an erratic lifestyle. I used to miss my previous shape but was lethargic to get it back. I finally got a reality check from Salman bhai and I can easily say that he was the one whose words inspired me to kick fat out of my system. It feels like a new life altogether," said Siddharth Bhardwaj.

Speaking to IANS, Salman said: "I think many people come to the show for revamping their career and if they are fighting and misbehaving with people, industry professionals will not prefer to work with them."
