What is your food routine or your diet? (in detail)

In the morning I have a healthy breakfast, I drink a smoothie made up of banana, strawberries, cinnamon and Slim milk. After that, I have toast with avocado spread on it and boiled eggs. At lunchtime, I eat brown rice with chicken or dal.

I don't have a heavy dinner. I eat boiled eggs or salad or just a glass of milk. Throughout the day, I drink lots of water and juices. Fruits, yogurt and juices are an essential part of my diet too.

What food do you carry while shooting or you eat the food on set?

During the shoot, I take a one-time meal with me depending on the schedule. Usually, it contains salad with a lot of protein with chicken in it or rice with chicken in it. In addition, I carry juice or flavoured water with vitamin C in it. I also carry fruits.

I always have a protein bar and a bottle of water with me to keep myself energised.
