Bollywood superstar Ajay Devgn recently offered a candid glimpse into his personal dietary choices, highlighting the conscious balance between indulgence and health. The revelation came during a promotional event for his upcoming film, Son of Sardaar 2.
Devgn's Candid Confession on Food Preferences
During an interview on a popular YouTube channel hosted by Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi on December 8, 2025, Devgn was joined by co-star Mrunal Thakur. When asked by Archana about the one food he could eat for an entire year, the 56-year-old actor gave a surprisingly pragmatic answer.
He stated that while he can eat anything healthy for a prolonged period, his personal favorites don't make the cut. "I can eat anything as long as it is healthy. If I have to eat what I like, then I can’t sustain it for a year because those options are so unhealthy," Devgn explained in Hindi. He went on to confess his love for rich dishes like mutton and chhole bhature, also expressing a fondness for South Indian cuisine.
Co-Star Mrunal Thakur's Food Love Affair
Echoing his sentiment for South Indian food, Mrunal Thakur enthusiastically shared her passion. "There is a reason why one of my feet is always in the South. I love South Indian food; I love rasam rice, chutney. Sometimes I even pack chutneys from home and bring them with me," she revealed, showcasing how actors often find comfort in familiar, flavorful foods even amidst busy schedules.
Everyday Choices: The Real Secret to Fitness
Taking inspiration from these honest admissions, it becomes clear that achieving and maintaining fitness is deeply rooted in daily decisions, not just sporadic efforts. Kanikka Malhotra, a consultant dietitian and diabetes educator, emphasizes this point.
"Eating healthy really comes down to the choices we make every single day," Malhotra said. She acknowledged the challenge, especially with temptations everywhere, but stressed that mindfulness leads to feeling stronger and more energetic. "When we choose nutritious foods, we’re giving our bodies the fuel they truly need. It’s like investing in ourselves for the long run," she added.
Malhotra clarified that fitness isn't solely about intense workouts. "Staying fit is about making simple, thoughtful decisions at every meal and snack. Sometimes that means choosing a grilled meal over fried food or opting for lemon water instead of a soda," she advised. These minor, consistent choices collectively create a significant impact on overall well-being.
"At the end of the day, eating healthy is really about caring for yourself and making decisions that keep you energised and feeling your best," Malhotra concluded. The insights from Devgn and the expert underline a universal truth: sustainable health is built on the foundation of mindful, everyday choices, not on deprivation or extreme diets.
