"It was hard because I could taste everything, but I couldn't necessarily swallow. I had to chew it for 10 minutes to get it down my throat... (Other times) I just had to get rid of the food," he said. The 'Supernova' star also stated he did not fear death throughout the experience, but rather the possibility of losing his sense of taste. Sathyaraj Birthday Special: Did You Know The Baahubali Actor Played Rajinikanth’s Father In A Movie Despite Being Four Years Younger Than Thalaiva?.
