It's been a month now that this hardcore Punjabi munda of Teen Bahuraniya and Betiyaan Apni Ya Paraya Dhaan went vegetarian. And it's all because of a Rudraksha! Manish voices, "The change was brought out by the Rudraksha that I am wearing. My family was going through a tough phase health-wise this year and my mom asked me to wear it. As I am not too much into religious rituals, I was unaware that one must quite eating meat after wearing the Rudraksha. In fact, four days later my co-star warned me about it and since then I have given up eating meat." So how does he avoid eating all the delicious spicy chicken curry served on the sets? He winces, "Well it has been a little difficult but I have tremendous self control. I relish the Masala milk and the fruit juices that are available in the studio canteen! Now that's what we call being sporty. Anybody for health tips can approach Manish!
