Mallika Dua slams vegetarian hospitals
Mallika took to Instagram to share a pic of herself resting on a hospital bed and wrote, "Also, what is a 'vegetarian hospital'. Completely ridiculous and irresponsible concept. I remember asking about paya soup at Hinduja Hospital once, only to be offered dal ka soup because we are a vegetarian hospital. As if there’s any nutritional comparison between dal ka soup and paya soup."
