Tanushree Dutta defended eating mutton after her Shravan fast, citing Bengali customs and Ayurveda. Facing backlash, she urged respect for cultural differences.

Tanushree Dutta
recently uploaded a video on her social media where she talked about how mutton benefits her health, following Ayurvedic concepts that treat food as a form of medicine. She explained that after observing a fast during
Shravan
, a holy month in the Hindu calendar when many avoid eating meat to maintain spiritual discipline, she resumed eating mutton.
The post, however, led to backlash from some who felt she had violated the traditional customs of the fasting period. This incident came shortly after she shared an emotional video alleging that she was harassed in her Mumbai residence.
User Criticism and Tanushree's Firm Response
A user commented on the video with criticism, writing, "Shravan... fast... mutton... fat... #respect," along with a laughing emoji. In response, the actress did not restrain herself and addressed the troll by stating, "In Bengal this is how all fasts are done.
We fast only on water till evening then after sunset we eat bhog given to Devi which is goat meat. Different cultures are different, shouldn't be any judgement.
See the whole video then jump to comment. Aa gaye religious ppl with their nasty judgemental attitude."
Emphasis on Nutrition and Mental Health
In her video message, Tanushree highlighted how crucial it is to focus on nutrition, especially when one's mental health is affected.

She pointed out that for anyone experiencing emotional struggles, monitoring their diet is vital since food works as a form of medicine. She also noted that her own meals are thoughtfully organized and inspired by Ayurvedic wisdom, helping her use nutrition as a tool to stay energetic and perform at her best.
Tanushree's Caption Explaining Her Fasting Approach
Her caption read, "So I fasted today for Shravan till 7 pm and then cooked this high nutrition kaali dal with mutton and rice for dinner.
Religious fasts don't need to be rigid, one can customise according to individual physical needs. This kind of fast works best for me. Fasting bhi ho jaati hai, fasting se mental strength bhi build hota hai, phir fast break mein high protein and nutritious diet bhi le leti hoon Taki body bhi top performing rahe.

Reply to Accusations of Hypocrisy
Responding to accusations from another user, who claimed she was taking shelter in faith after harming animals, Dutta fired back by labeling the commenter as 'mentally unstable.'
She wrote, "What the hell nonsense are you talking about? Ur insulting Devi I think. You Don make any logical sense. Tantrik mantrik?? Video ko dekho phir comment karo?? I think ur mentally unstable. This diet is followed heavily in Nepal, where Pashupatinath is worshipped in every household. Sanatan dharm pe toh mujhse tark vitark mein koi nahi jeet sakta. Ok, my knowledge and experience is not only comprehensive, inclusive of cultures from all over India but also is factual.
