Read Explanation:

The reporting verb is in simple present. Hence, the verb of the sentence in quotes does not get changed. But the demonstrative adjective ‘my’ changes into ‘his’ as the pronoun ‘he’ shows that the speaker is male. റിപ്പോർട്ടിംഗ് ക്രിയ ലളിതമായ വർത്തമാനത്തിലാണ്. അതിനാൽ, ഉദ്ധരണികളിലെ വാക്യത്തിന്റെ ക്രിയ മാറ്റപ്പെടുന്നില്ല. എന്നാൽ 'അവൻ' എന്ന സർവ്വനാമം സ്പീക്കർ പുരുഷനാണെന്ന് കാണിക്കുന്നതിനാൽ 'മൈ' എന്ന നാമവിശേഷണം 'അവന്റെ' ആയി മാറുന്നു.
