Farhan goes veg due to throat infection

In an interview last year, when Farhan Akhtar was asked about his choice of food, he had said, “I am a non-vegetarian, and proudly so.” However, now, the film-maker-actor, who suffered from a throat infection recently, has apparently turned vegetarian. “Farhan has taken up vegetarianism to detox. He eats a lot of fruits, vegetables and pulses. 

There’s a complete shift in his diet and his team has been actively looking out for more vegetarian food options for him. But the switch is only temporary,” says a source close to the actor. Though Farhan is now fit to eat whatever he wishes to, he wants to continue his vegetarian stint for some more time. While he was asked to eat light foods during the infection phase, Farhan prefers eating only vegetarian food these days.

He apparently finds it a good way to keep the body and mind healthy. Confirming the news, Farhan says, “I have been on a vegetarian diet for a couple of weeks. It’s like a detox for my body. It has really helped keep my energy levels up in the summer heat.”
