What happens when a man who once ate five Magnum croissants in a day lives with someone who follows a rather disciplined eating routine? Well, Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal’s food habits could not be more different, and their conversation with Kamiya Jani on Sunday Brunch gave us a peek into just that. The couple welcomed Kamiya into their home, where the conversation drifted from their relationship to the little things they do every day. And when food came up, Zaheer had quite the revelation about his wife’s routine.

Sonakshi Sinha Eats Two Hearty Meals A Day

During the conversation, Zaheer Iqbal recalled a phase when he would eat as many as five Magnum croissants in a day. It was one of those oddly specific cravings that had him hooked, and Kamiya Jani naturally wanted to know whether Sonakshi Sinha had any such food obsessions. Did she have a particular snack she could not stop eating, or was there something she absolutely had to have every day? Zaheer’s answer was quite the opposite of his croissant phase. According to him, Sonakshi keeps her diet clean and eats just two meals a day, at 1 PM and 8 PM.

And no, these are not the sort of meals that leave you staring at the clock, waiting for your next bite. Zaheer described her food as proper, hearty meals comprising dal, carbohydrates, millets and two small pieces of chicken tikka. She also makes sure to complete her 10,000 daily steps, often walking for 15-20 minutes after eating. This routine has also played a part in her weight-loss journey.

But Sonakshi Sinha is not someone who believes in turning every meal into a test of willpower. During the episode, she explained that if she and Zaheer visit a nice restaurant and she feels like eating something, she will happily enjoy it. She does not want to over-restrict herself, especially when doing so can lead to unnecessary overthinking and concerns about bloating.

Honestly, that makes her approach far more relatable. She has her routine, eats filling meals and stays active, but she also leaves room for the occasional restaurant indulgence. Because if you cannot enjoy a delicious meal when you go out, what is even the point?
