It's always a great experience to work with Sanjay. The man has so much aggression, drive and energy!

I was doing an annual cover for Stardust with Sanjay and a python! He was looking macho with his body exposed and the python coiled around his neck. It was a body shot.

Sanjay was doing great but the python wasn't very camera friendly. He kept getting out of the frame and Sanjay had to keep adjusting. He was trying to hold it. Somehow, he squeezed the python so hard that it died! (laughs). It was a weird experience and a great photo!

My experience with Sanjay is that he is a very cool guy, very chilled out. He has a very Western mind. When you work with him, the atmosphere is very chilled. He is very fast and wraps up soon.

He was the first one to set trends in bodybuilding. To get photographed without a shirt was his style. Salman Khan followed much later.

I have captured his macho look in this photograph.
