“I’m very lazy and shy… I don’t like meeting people at all. I’m not comfortable in crowds. Even if there are more people than necessary on set, I feel uncomfortable.
Many times I ask myself why I came to this field? But luckily I got a hit film like ‘Bahubali’ and now I don’t get any other chance.
Even though South superstar Prabhas himself said these things in an interview, it is difficult for any of his fans to believe him.
However, this is Prabhas’ specialty. Although he is lazy and shy, when he faces the camera he acts with complete dedication.

I was away from home for a long time during filming. During this time, my family came to meet me on set. My 9 year old daughter told Prabhas about her favorite foods.
Believe me, that same evening I had to book a separate room in the hotel to avail all the food that Prabhas had sent for my daughter.
