Trideviyaan's Aishwarya Sakhuja turns vegan
Aishwarya Sakhuja joins the bandwagon of vegans.
The glam world is filled with umpteen number of actors and actresses who have given up on meat and have turned vegans. The recent one to have joined on the list of vegans is actress Aishwarya Sakhuja.
Apparently, the Trideviyan actor turned vegan two months ago. In a statement, she said, “I was a non-vegetarian all my life. I relished eating non-vegetarian dishes. However, last year in August, my husband (Rohit Nag) suffered from typhoid, and he was only allowed to eat khichdi. So, I began eating khichdi along with him and something brought about a change in me. I didn’t eat meat ever again.” While her husband’s illness definitely worked towards bringing about a change in Aishwaryas life, it was also the documentaries she watched on an online streaming channel that “changed her outlook” about life, food and animals. She added, “I watched a few documentaries on the food and dairy industry, and animals. They opened my eyes. It was a big shock and a reality check.” “Humans don’t need dairy or dairy products. Animals are living beings too, and they are tortured to provide for us. The trauma they must be going through is insane. We should understand that as much as the planet is ours, it is theirs too. We have forgotten that. Many people don’t respect animals. That needs to stop.”
The change of course hasn’t been easy for Aishwarya. She said, “It’s a big decision and many of my friends think that I am mad. The kind of love I had for non-vegetarian dishes was huge. The biggest challenge is avoiding dairy. It’s in so many products that one consumes on a daily basis. I have given up on all the little pleasures in life from biscuit to cake, and so many more items. I also haven’t gone to a vegan dietician, who can help me with supplements to diary. I need to take care of that.” Currently, Aishwarya is also working on a sitcom and was also a part of the reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi last year.
