Divyanka Tripathi, who belongs to Bhopal, has been one of the significant names in the country. However, prior to her venture as an actress, the actress had to go through a strict diet plan, and one of her biggest sacrifices and changes that she had to make is, not having Chai. In an interview with ETimes, the actress spoke of the same.
She said, “I am from Bhopal and one thing which has been a part of my growing up years is chai. The biggest sacrifice I have made after coming to this industry is that I left chai. It is during the time when I was doing the show Ye Hai Mohabbatein. One of the actors wanted to follow a particular diet but the person couldn’t quit having tea. That was the time when I used to drink at least 8 to 10 cups of chai every day. I had to shoot for long hours and chai is what kept me going. So I told my colleague that I too would not drink tea for a few days. I thought trying won’t hurt.”
She added, “The initial days were tough because I used to get terrible headaches. But today I am very happy that I left drinking tea. I had some health issues like acidity which went away. Drinking tea with milk and sugar is not good for my health and I used to drink excessive tea back then. After a month or so of quitting, I saw that my skin had started glowing. For a person like me who comes from a city where people drink tea often, it was tough but nothing is more important than your health.” As quoted by Pink Villa.
