In an interview given to Zoom website, Manushi said, 'I have been a vegetarian all my life. I always thought that I would never eat non-veg but then I signed 'Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan'. Then I got Covid. I was very scared because I did not want my weight to lose because I had to build muscles for 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan'.
Manushi further said, 'Then my father, who is a doctor, advised me to eat meat. Papa used to take great care of my diet during this period. I always told him to please make something that doesn't taste like chicken. He used to sit near the dining table and force me to finish my food.
Manushi said, 'Most of the shooting of 'Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan' took place in Jordan, Scotland, London and there were not many veg options available in Scotland and meat was the easiest source of protein for me.
