- Although she is a hardcore non-vegetarian, she turned vegan during the shooting of the film “Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety.” While sharing her experience of turning vegan, Nushrat says, “I belong to a Bohri Muslim family, and for us, food is our biggest celebration. We are used to elaborating five to six-course meals. So, to give up on our signature dishes, which can only be made with chicken/mutton, was like living someone else’s life suddenly! This wasn’t only a dietary change, but a lifestyle change and a drastic one at that. Initially, it was really tough to deal with the cravings. The decision tested my willpower and I am happy that I succeeded.” [3]
- She is a fitness enthusiast and visits the gym regularly.
