He says, "After a long time, I shaved. My manager and partner saw footage of my television shows online and insisted that I get rid of the fuzz. It has been almost two years since I moved to Los Angeles. This is the first time they are seeing me clean-shaven. They are liking it. The biggest compliment came from my wife Vineesha. She told me that I reminded her of my Kkusum days," he says.
