Character actor Siva Balaji shot to fame after he became the winner of the popular reality show Bigg Boss, Telugu version hosted by Young Tiger NTR. However the road to stardom is not all that rosy for the Bigg Boss winner.
Siva Balaji who is seen donating most of his prize money for the poor and needy sharing his ordeals recollected how he cried in the makeup room. He said " I was shooting for my first movie 'Idi Maa Ashokgaadi Love Story'. Production unit was giving one bottle for each artist. I am used to drink cool water. So I planned to have one bottle and have another bottle to keep it in the ice box for future use. I directed by assistant to get another bottle for me. When my assistant asked the production boy that I needed another water bottle, he commented ' one bottle itself is more for your sir. No need of another bottle'. I got hurt with his words and went into the makeup room and wept inconsolably".
