There are actors who play their character and there are those who live and breathe it. Shalini Kapoor, who plays Goddess Durga in Jai Maa Durga, is one among them. In fact, Shailini has gone a step ahead. She's living, breathing and eating her character. The pretty actress has stopped eating non-vegetarian food on the sets of Jai Maa Durga.

Says Shalini, "This idea struck me the moment I was offered this role. In fact, it's just not me but I ensure that none of us have non-veg food on the sets. You have to be loyal to your character. Though, I must confess that I haven't given it up completely."

So, what's your frequency of having non-veg food? Shalini quips, "Being a Punjabi, I'm a hardcore non-vegetarian. I used to feast on chicken daily but it's all changed now. In the last month, I reckon I've had it just once. In fact, I don't feel like eating it anymore. After all, it's always better to stay green."
