Taapsee Pannu’s Gandhari diet: What she ate for strength, stamina and recovery

Taapsee Pannu's diet for her role as Gandhari involved a focused approach to fueling her body for physical transformation and recovery during long, night shoots. Celebrity nutritionist Munmun Ganeriwal, who worked with Pannu, emphasized the importance of balanced performance nutrition, consisting of carbohydrates, fats, and micronutrients, in addition to protein.

The diet included protein-rich foods like chicken breast, fish, eggs, moong dal, rice, millets, and peanuts. Hydration, supplementation, and sleep were also critical components of Pannu's recovery plan. Ganeriwal stressed that nutrition should be flexible, sustainable, and tailored to the individual's lifestyle, incorporating traditional Indian ingredients like ginger and turmeric for their anti-inflammatory properties. Supplements were used strategically to support training, recovery, and overall performance.
