An actor’s job is not easy and requires a lot of sacrifices. The hectic schedules and long working hours can take a toll on one’s health and well-being.
Popular actress Divyanka Tripathi, in a recent interview, reveals how she made a big sacrifice a few years ago. She shares, “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.”
When asked what made her quit tea, she said “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 further adds, “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 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,” Divyanka signs off.
