Ameesha Patel Took Mannat To Quit Desserts & Non-veg For Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai And Gadar!
In a candid conversation with Instant Bollywood, Ameesha revealed that she gave up two of her favorite indulgences – non-vegetarian food and desserts, as a part of her mannat (a sacred vow).
Ameesha Patel Took Mannat To Quit Desserts & Non-veg For Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai And Gadar!
Ameesha shared how difficult it was for her, especially since she has a sweet tooth and enjoys chocolate and desserts daily.
“Well, it broke the minute Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai became a hit, I was dying to try that piece of chicken and egg! Same goes for Gadar. I have a sweet tooth; I eat chocolate and dessert every day. So, I had to quit desserts for Gadar.”
She added, “There was a time when I was shooting for Kaho Na Pyaar Hai and Gadar simultaneously, so I wasn’t eating both desserts and non-veg. I was like, “Man, what vow did I take? I can’t eat anything I love.”
“But then the mannat worked. When my friends said, “Okay, let’s go for dinner,” I was like, “Listen, I need to get my teeth into a juicy piece of chicken!” You know, I hadn’t tasted it in ages.”
Ameesha Patel Says Now Her Mannats Are More Logical
Despite the struggle, Ameesha stuck to her promise. She maintained her mannat for nearly two years for Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai and for about two and a half to three years for Gadar.
Now, she makes up for all the time she spent away from desserts. “Now I’m making up for it. I eat like half a cake a day, and people are like, “Are you going out with a vengeance for what you quit 20 years ago?” Now, my Mannats are more logical. Like going to a Temple. I credit everything in my life to God’s blessings,” Ameesha commented.
