1. Why did you decide to transform?
It all started when I was very thin and weak. Everyone in my school used to tease me by saying that you are ugly. I was upset and disturbed due to these things. At that time, I decided to start going to the gym. Seeing my friends working on their bodies and attaining the desired results motivated me and I worked out for 3 years. Soon after, I started receiving compliments and was even suggested by someone to take part in a bodybuilding competition. This is how my journey began.

6. Suggestions for future transformers
I am seeing myself at the level of Mr. Olympia and for that I am giving my 100% in the gym. My suggestion for anyone who’s trying to transform their body would be to not give up on themselves owing to criticism.
