Actor Vijay Sethupathi, who recently made his OTT debut with Prime Video’s ‘Farzi,’ spoke up about how he doesn’t believe in the concept of diets. His weight often comes up in interviews, and he has spoken about being conscious of his appearance when he posts photographs on social media.
A video of the actor shunning diets did the rounds on the internet. In the video, Vijay said, "I don't believe in diet concept so... I need to eat tasty food. I love it. I believe if I don't eat tasty foods, my life won't be in taste, so I like to eat tasty foods."
Twitter users positively responded to his video; one fan wrote, "This is wonderful actually." Another echoed his statement, saying, "Like me & my best friend always say... Khana to control kar lenge lekin taste... Kambakhat taste ka kya karein (we can control food, but what about the taste?)... Love you @VijaySethuOffl." Yet another fan said that he could relate to the actor, "@VijaySethuOffl is me" While another wrote, "Vibe match ho gayi (Vibes are matching).”
In December, Vijay had put a photograph of himself, considerably slimmer than before. In an interview, he said, “The response from the fans has made me go like ‘yaar, abhi main mota nahi ho sakta (I can't be big again).’ It is a must for me to work out now. Generally, I miss night workouts during shoots because of work pressure sometimes. I am a very sensitive person, so I get hurt and then decide not to do anything. I am very vulnerable that way.”
Vijay was recently seen in the Tamil-Telugu bilingual ‘Michael.’ In ‘Farzi,’ he stars as a police officer trying to track down a counterfeiting ring led by Shahid Kapoor's Sunny. He has several releases lined up this year, including the Tamil film ‘Viduthalai,’ Sriram Raghavan’s ‘Merry Christmas’ with Katrina Kaif and Atlee’s ‘Jawan’ alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Nayanthara.
