Pankaj Tripathi On His Personal Food Habit
The actor also shared a personal habit he has developed over the past month. He says he now spends around half an hour eating his meals instead of rushing through them. For him, eating is not just about finishing a meal. He prefers to take his time and enjoy its “Ras” and “Swaad”. He believes this is especially important in a life that often feels rushed, with work and daily responsibilities leaving little time to pause. According to Pankaj Tripathi, mealtimes can offer an opportunity to slow down and focus on the present moment. “Ab mera dhyaan sirf khane par hi rahega aur kisi cheez par nahi rahega,” he says.

He also reflects on the traditional Indian practice of expressing gratitude before eating. Food has traditionally been treated with Shraddha, or reverence, and consumed with gratitude. Pankaj Tripathi describes this approach as almost a “Puja Paddhati”. His message goes beyond simply choosing healthier food. He also encourages people to be more mindful while eating. Instead of rushing through meals between work and other responsibilities, he suggests giving food the time and attention it deserves.
The video is part of FSSAI’s #EatRightIndia initiative, which aims to promote awareness around healthier eating habits. As Pankaj Tripathi puts it, “Eat Right aapki sehat ke liye zaroori hai.”
