"The show's format is such that everyone goes through a lot of stress. It was actually difficult to trust anyone. People coming from outside would say that the audience doesn't like me, but the Saturday and Sunday episodes used to give me a boost," Andy told IANS in a telephonic interview from Mumbai.
"If it was not for Salman Khan, I don't think I would have sustained for so long in the show. He used to tell me 'Andy, tum bahut accha ja rahe ho' (Andy, you are doing good) and 'the audience outside loves you a lot'. So those were the things that encouraged me. He guided me like a big brother," he added.
