Shubhra Shetty roasts partner Anurag Kashyap’s love for hydrogen water: ‘There’s men and then there’s him…’

Shubhra Shetty made playful fun of her partner Anurag Kashyap's affinity for hydrogen water during a recent gathering. The filmmaker explained the mechanism behind turning on blue lights by simply pressing the bottle's lid. Janice Sequeira, a content creator, shared the anecdote on Instagram, capturing Shetty's jest.

A health expert, Dr. Sonia Gandhi, clarified the nature of hydrogen water. It is regular drinking water with dissolved molecular hydrogen gas. The gas can be introduced through pressure or specialized devices. Gandhi explained the potential benefits of hydrogen water, which include combating oxidative stress, aiding in exercise recovery, and potentially improving metabolic and cardiovascular health. She also noted that research on inflammation and gut health is ongoing but has not yet yielded conclusive results.

The popularity of hydrogen water can be attributed to the current wellness and longevity trends, where consumers are drawn to products that promise antioxidants, recovery, and healthy aging. The convenience and portability of hydrogen water, enhanced by its sleek packaging and marketing through social media, have contributed to its appeal.

However, Gandhi emphasized that those with impaired kidney function should exercise caution, as some hydrogen water products may pose electrolyte or mineral-related risks. She also cautioned against considering hydrogen water as a replacement for prescribed medications or medically indicated diets.
