He had revealed that Kavi was 265 kg then and was put on a ventilator for 10 days. He added, "I couldn't take him off the ventilator because he was so big that he couldn't breathe properly. After few days, he was fine and had reduced to 140 kg. He went back on the sets and resumed his normal life."

The doctor adds that he had advised him another surgery which would have brought him down to about 90 kg, but Kavi didn't agree! When asked as to why Kavi didn't get the second surgery done, the doctor said, "He (Kavi) said, ‘I have to remain fat, so that I continue to look fat on screen. He said he won't get work if he becomes thin'."

‘If I Lose Weight, I Won’t Get Work!’

When the doctor suggested that he could use padding on his body when he faces the camera, Kavi told the doctor, ‘How will I pad up my face? If I reduce, I will lose weight on face too. And then, I won't get work.' In fact, I met him beech mein once and realised that he put on 20 kg back. I think he had become 160 kg. Again I warned him, but his argument was the same despite telling him that ‘the last thing I want to hear is that you have again gone down that way'."

He added that he will have to remain fat to earn his livelihood. I even called him a couple of times. He used to pick up my call and only say, ‘Aaunga, aaunga'. After that, we lost contact."
