The actor decided to stay fat because he feared that he might lose work after the physical transformation. Dr Muffi Lakdawala who has been treating Azad stated the actor was adamant on not losing weight. “I had advised him a second surgery, which would have brought him down to about 90 kg. Thereafter, he would have had no obesity, sirf weight ko maintain karna padhta. His dad or brother used to accompany him. I had explained to them also. But kuch faida nahin hua, Kavi just did not agree. He would say 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. I yet insisted for the second surgery and told him that he can use padding on his body when he faces the camera. I told him that otherwise he was risking his life. But he didn’t listen,” the doctor said. Dr Lakdawala said Azad was scared of not getting roles if his weight came down. “How will I pad up my face,” he had told the doctor.

“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 ‘the last thing I want to hear is that you have again gone down that way’. After that, we lost contact,” Bollywood life quoted Dr Muffi Lakdawala as saying.
