Urvashi Rautela’s nutritionist, Shweta Shah, recently discussed the Daaku Maharaj actor’s diet and eating habits and also revealed some of her favourites.
“Unki diet bohot simple hai. She is a very simple eater. She doesn’t eat much. Bohot kam khaati hai woh. But her diet is such that we give her three meals a day. She never skips breakfast. Unko breakfast ke bagair chalta nahi bilkul bhi, toh humein dena hi padta hai,” she said in an episode of The Mumta Podcast.
The nutritionist added that Urvashi usually has poha or upma for breakfast. For lunch, “she likes to stick to roti and sabzi, and she has a favourite juice, without which…” said Shah, adding that Rautela’s hot favourite juice is mint and coriander.
“She mostly does not need evening snacks. But an early dinner is what I have always proposed. I’m not saying she does intermittent fasting, but an early dinner between 6 and 7 o’clock. For dinner, sometimes we give her paratha or paneer, rolls or chillas, just simple food,” she continued.

Concurring, Dr Meghraj Ingle, director and senior consultant gastroenterology at Gleneagles Hospitals in Mumbai, told indianexpress.com that an early dinner can help make the digestion process easier. It can also help prevent bloating and reduce irritation in the stomach lining. He suggested eating light and non-spicy foods, as they help improve blood sugar control, cholesterol levels, and metabolism, potentially aiding in weight loss and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
Eating earlier in the evening aligns your eating patterns with your body’s natural cycles, which lowers your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and metabolic syndrome. “Mindful eating allows you to savour your meal, pay attention to your body’s hunger cues, and stop eating when you’re full, lowering the risk of overeating. A better connection with food is critical for long-term weight management and general well-being,” he added.
