I have turned vegetarian: Rhea Chakraborty
In a tête-à-tête, actor Rhea Chakraborty reveals her fitness and beauty mantra!
You can’t miss the bubbly, charming Rhea Chakraborty in Mere Dad Ki Maruti (2013), Sonali Cable (2014) and Jalebi (2018). She is charismatic, and with her affable demeanour, she can make anyone around her feel comfortable. The actor loves to eat. But, staying fit is important, too. In a candid chat, she reveals her diet and fitness regime along with a few beauty home-made remedies that have helped her for years.
DIET AND FITNESS
Rhea starts her day with yoga, so that the day commences on a calm, positive note. Then, she proceeds to intense workout forms. From Monday to Friday, Rhea does yoga and kick-boxing or Krav Maga (Israeli martial art). On the weekends, she prefers to dance it out with kathak or goes for pilates. Along with working out, she believes in eating right as well. Her mantra is to eat home-cooked food. “One should avoid oils from outside. I have recently turned vegetarian, as I believe it is a step towards a healthier lifestyle and helps curb cruelty against animals. I’m enjoying it,” says Rhea with a giggle. Being a Bengali, the actor used to love fish curry, but now has completely gone off meat.
Her regular day starts with coconut water, poha, upma or home-made dosa for breakfast. Throughout the day, she has fruits and dry fruits. A bowl of rice with daal and vegetables is usually her lunch, which is followed by a glass of smoothie as an evening snack. For dinner, she opts for either vegetables and roti or homecooked Asian food.
HOME REMEDIES
However, when it comes to the old-world dadi-ma-ke-nuskhe, Rhea is the first one to fall in line. “Home remedies are the best. Even for digestion, I boil aijwain, jeera, ginger and lemon in water and drink it. I make face packs at home by mixing vitamin E capsules, yogurt and honey. Sometimes I just rub the fruit that I eat for breakfast on my face and it hydrates the skin, and gives a nice glow,” adds Rhea.
