Coming to Venu Madhav, the comedian accepts that he is not a teetotaller. In fact, he drinks but not on the sets while shooting. He has a code word for peg ‘Higlam’ which he uses during his films’ shoots. He has this habit of asking his assistant for ‘Higlam’.

In a recent interview, initially, Venu Madhav tried to conceal his actual interpretation of ‘Higlam’ and said it a simple drink like tea or coffee. But later he revealed the truth and accepted that he calls a peg ‘Higlam’, so that no one understands what he was hinting at. Looks like a clever code word!
