In this situation, actor and director Marimuthu spoke on Chaai with Chitra show recently, "I stayed in a mansion when I came to Chennai from Theni. As I was there, I was looking for a job in every film company. Then when I don't have money, I ask my friends and get it.

Once the festival of Diwali came. Everyone in my room has gone to thier villages. I stayed in the room without money even to go home. After that I got hungry and as usual went to the hotel where I had an account and there was a big lock hanging there.

I had no money as I thought I could eat at another hotel right away. Well, I went to buy it from my friends in other rooms, and their rooms also had locks. Everyone except me has gone home for Diwali festival. Hunger pinched my stomach, I didn't know what to do.

I checked if there was any food in the room. Nothing was there. There was only one pickle bottle. I started Licking the pickle and drinking a glass of water to reduce its alkalinity. I did this 3 times for 3 days, without considering it harm. Then on the 4th day I had diarrhea and fainted. By then, friends had come to the room. They took me to the hospital. Then they put glucose there."
