In an interaction with celebrity nutritionist Ryan Fernando, the Citadel actress shared, "My diet is a bit strict. It is nowhere close to what it was when I was a teenager. I was a big foodie, junk food pro max. I thought I was invincible, nothing affected me. When I was young, I was on the skinnier side and never really put on weight and could eat anything, at least that's what I thought. I didn't know that it was not just about the weight, but also about inflammation that could manifest in many other ways."

She added, "My diet is mostly anti-inflammatory. It's basically about finding what does not work for you and eliminating that. There are no cheat days, it is the same kind of food for me every day and I am used to it. As a must-find, you will find cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts. I do breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Maybe my breakfast is mostly smoothies. This is followed by lunch and dinner. I don't have a fancy chef, but my assistant, who didn't know how to make coffee, miraculously learned how to make all the food that I eat, and he cooks for me on the set.
