How did Rahul convince Suniel?

Of all the anecdotes about Anna aka Suniel Shetty, this one is the most incredulous. At a recent do, we met producer Rahul Aggarwal, whose forthcoming Red Alert stars Suniel.
Rahul told us that he had to convince Suniel about him winning the Best Actor Award at the South Asian International Film Festival (SAIFF). He said, “I called him at 6 in the morning, IST. Suniel generally wakes up by then, but I don’t.When I told him he had won the award, he refused to believe me. But then I reasoned with him and he finally believed me, because he says that only an emergency or a film’s shooting, can keep me awake in the morning. That is how he believed it!”
