Nargis Fakhri reveals fasting for 9 days to look snatched
Nargis revealed that she is a foodie and loves indulging in Indian cuisine, listing butter chicken, parathas and mutton biryani as some of her favourites. When asked about one thing she does to help her skin glow, Nargis said, "Everybody wants a quick fix, but there's no quick fix. It's always a combination of things, and the combination for me seems to be great sleep. I sleep like eight hours a night. I also try to hydrate. Then, also, my food choices. Like, I want foods that are nutritious and have vitamins and minerals in them."
She went on to reveal a method she uses to look snatched and said, "I do fasting twice a year, no food at all, just water for nine days. It's very difficult. But once I'm done, I'm telling you, you look snatched. I mean, the jawline is out, the face is glowing. But I wouldn't recommend it."
