Forget the wellness wars. While influencers debate whether dairy is a health hero or villain, Kareena Kapoor Khan has been doing her own thing for years. No elimination, no guilt, no overthinking. Just real, home-cooked food served the way she grew up eating it. And the star has zero plans to change that.
Ghee 365 days a year, no exceptions
If there’s one food synonymous with Kareena Kapoor Khan, it’s ghee. Alongside nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar, she helped bring the golden fat back into mainstream wellness conversations at a time when fats were still public enemy number one. And she’s not shy about her devotion.
“Being a Punjabi, the aroma of ghee brings a million-dollar smile on my face and makes me want to eat more,” she revealed. “I can never say no to a dal with ghee ka tadka. A generous amount of ghee on my parathas is a must, 365 days.”
When she’s in the mood to indulge, it’s aate ka halwa made in her own kitchen with ghee that she reaches for. “Ghee is known to have multiple benefits; it helps you glow from the inside,” she added.
Why curd is her first love
Dairy isn’t just a passing fancy for Bebo—it’s a lifelong romance. “Dairy is my first love,” she said, describing how versatile curd is in her daily meals. She eats it blended with rice as curd-rice, adds a bowl to complete a meal, or drinks it as a thick, creamy smoothie.
“I can actually eat curd in any form, anytime,” she said. “Not only does it keep you cool from within, but it also aids in digestion.”
Quality matters, though. “The trick is to get the right curd. For me, the curd has to be thick and creamy,” she explained.
No drama, just home-cooked food
Even during her second pregnancy, Kareena kept things simple. “I’m having my regular home-cooked food, but of course combining that with curd and a spoonful of ghee on my parathas, which is more like part of my diet routine,” she shared. No dramatic cravings, no overhauls.
On snacking, she said, “The first step was to become much more responsible about my food choices after becoming a mom. I am extremely mindful of the freshness, hygiene, and purity of the food products that enter my home. My go-to healthy snack is eating fruits and drinking homemade smoothies or milkshakes.”
Her philosophy is refreshingly straightforward. “There is nothing more nutritious than home-cooked simple food,” she said. “It is absolutely important to listen to your body and eat right.”
In a world full of dietary rules and competing wellness advice, Kareena Kapoor Khan continues to eat the way she always has. And in her own words, she has no intention of changing that.
