Taapsee Pannu reveals she spends Rs 1 lakh per month on a dietician, predicts her father will scold her for this: ‘Not a fancy expense, it’s a requirement’

“I’ll go home soon, and I know that he’ll scold me for spending so much on a dietician,” she said in Hindi. This made the interviewer ask her exactly how much she’s spending on the services of a dietician. After hesitating for a couple of seconds, Taapsee said, “Roughly Rs 1 lakh per month.”

The interviewer was taken aback, and said that he’s on her father’s side now. But Taapsee explained why this is necessary in her line of work. She said, “My diet changes constantly, depending on what film I’m doing, and where I am in my life. After every four or five years, your body also changes. In this profession, most of us need the advice of a professional, to tell us what food is best for us, depending on which city, or which country we’re in. The weather plays a role, local produce plays a role. This is the kind of detail that goes into creating a diet plan.”

If you think about it, Taapsee asked, what other investment can there be for an actor? She said that she buys a subscription for her mother as well, because she has problems with her metabolism. “Why spend on hospitals later, when you can spend on diet now?” she asked. But her father tells her not to spend on her mother, she said, because he thinks that ‘it is a fancy thing to have a dietician.’

Taapsee concluded, “This is not a fancy expense, this is a requirement.” The actor was last seen in the thriller film Blurr, and will next be seen in the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Dunki.
