Actor Tanushree Dutta didn’t hold back when a social media user attempted to bodyshame her over her food choices. The former Miss India, who frequently speaks about health and wellness on her platforms, clapped back with facts after being targeted for sharing a video about eating mutton.
‘Food is Medicine,’ says Tanushree
On Sunday, Tanushree took to Instagram to post a video showcasing her diet routine, where she spoke about choosing mutton for its nutritional benefits. Displaying packets of the meat, she explained how mindful eating has helped her stay mentally and physically fit even through challenging times.
She captioned the post, “If someone troubles you so much ki aapki mental health effect ho rahi hai, then pay more attention to the food you are consuming. Because food is medicine! Meri diet bohut hi thoughtful and Ayurveda based hai, meaning I do treat my food as medicine, so I always try to stay on top of my game even in adverse circumstances, as much as I can, of course.”
Breaking her fast with a power meal
Tanushree also shared how she ended her Shravan fast that day. “I was divinely inspired to share this today. So I fasted today for Shravan till 7 pm and then cooked this high-nutrition kaali dal with mutton and rice for dinner. Religious fasts don’t need to be rigid, one can customise according to individual physical needs. This kind of fast works best for me,” she explained.
She added, “Fasting bhi ho jaati hai, fasting se mental strength bhi build hota hai, phir fast break mein high protein and nutritious diet bhi le leti hoon taki body bhi top performing rahe. How do u like this content?? Comment below. Ciao!”
Tanushree responds to bodyshaming
However, the video drew an unsolicited comment from a user who wrote, “Itna fat khaogi tbhi to itni fatty hoti ja ri.”
Tanushree wasn’t having it. She responded with clarity and science: “Pls Google scientific fact. Goat meat has the least amount of bad cholesterol, much lesser than any other meat. And the fat, if consumed in limited quantity, also doesn’t add fat in the body. Healthy fats consume karke bhi lean ho sakta hai insaan.”
She further schooled the troll with a strong message: “It is fat, but it does not make you fat in the real sense because our body needs good fats to run well. And our body has fat processing mechanism. And about commenting on my body, you have no right but just to state facts. I’m very fit, not skinny, but very well built, and I look good in anything I wear. Stop body shaming women who are big and beautiful. Not everybody wants to look like a skinny little boy.”
