He explained that the actor tends to inflate numbers while narrating experiences. He said, “Jayaram is a bit too humble; I tell him he should tone it down.”He added, “Biju said Jayaram often exaggerates numbers in a humorous way when describing crowds. According to him, if there are around a thousand people at a place, Jayaram would casually say there are ten thousand. He added that this has been his nature for a long time.”Baiju also pointed out that this habit is part of Jayaram’s long-standing personality and should be seen in a light-hearted manner.
