It won't be wrong to say that vegan food has become the next big thing. From cafes offering plant-based menus to celebrities turning vegan for overall well-being, the buzz is everywhere. More people are swapping dairy for almond milk, choosing mock meat over chicken, and going green in their food habits. Joining this list of mindful eaters is actor Divya Khossla. In a podcast with stand-up comedian Bharti Singh and her husband Haarsh Limbachiyaa, Divya shared how strict she is with her food choices.
She said, “I am a vegetarian; vegan, to be precise. Vegan hun main. Sirf ghar ka khaana khaati hun. Kahi bhi jao, ghar ka khaana hi lekar jaati hun. [I am vegan. I eat only home-cooked food. Wherever I go, I always carry my own food with me.] I carry it with me. I avoid outside food mostly. Of course, I don't eat sweets. Fried is also minimal; kabhi- kabhi…kam (very rarely and less).”
