Niharika Chouksey shares how she maintains her protein intake
Mumbai, July 13
Actress Niharika Chouksey, who essays the role of Anu in the television show 'Tumm Se Tumm Tak', has spoken up on her protein intake, and how she keeps it on track.
The actress shared that for her protein intake she prefers to take black chana, paneer bowls and salads in her diet.
She told IANS, "Protein is important for everyone, whether you're an actor or not. It's essential for a healthy body. I also think it's a myth that you can only get enough protein from non-vegetarian food".
She further mentioned, "There are plenty of vegetarian options available. I make sure to include foods like black chana, paneer bowls and salads in my diet. Since I do eat non-vegetarian food as well, I also ensure that I include eggs regularly".
Earlier, the actress had shared how the show changed her perception of love and relationships. In the recent track of the show, Anu (played by Niharika Chouksey) and Arya (played by Sharad Kelkar) finally tied the knot after overcoming several hurdles, emotional setbacks, and societal pressures.
She earlier told IANS, "When I look back at Anu's journey, I genuinely feel she has taught me so much. There were moments when everything seemed to be falling apart for her, but she never stopped believing in love. What I admire most about Anu is that her love was never blind or impulsive; it came from trust, patience, and understanding".
"She stood by Arya not because life was easy, but because she believed in their bond, and I think that's something really beautiful", she added.
The show captures the nuances of middle-class life, from family bonds and dreams to the balancing act between tradition and modernity, making it a genuine favourite among audiences.
'Tumm Se Tumm Tak' airs on Zee TV.

Good to see someone promoting balanced eating habits. But let's be honest, protein is important for everyone, not just actors. Our youth could use more awareness about nutrition. 🙏
Bahut accha! (Very good!) It's a common misconception that only non-veg gives protein. Our traditional Indian foods like chana, dal, and paneer are rich in protein. Glad she's spreading this message. 💪
Interesting to see an Indian actress promoting protein intake. Back in the UK, we focus a lot on gym culture. She's absolutely right that vegetarian options can be just as effective. Respect for keeping it real! 💚
I appreciate her journey on the show, but I'd love more specifics. How much black chana does she eat daily? What's in her paneer bowls? Just saying "salads" isn't enough for fans who want to follow her example.
Finally someone talks about protein without just pushing chicken or eggs! Paneer and chana are part of our everyday meals. I've been doing protein-rich meals for years, and it works beautifully. 🧡
From a nutrition perspective, this is spot-on. I've seen many of my Indian friends struggle with protein
