Veganism is a practice that focuses on eliminating all animal products, including milk and dairy. Plant-based diets may not necessarily eliminate all animal products, but the focus would definitely be on eating more plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts etc. 
In the fun AMA session she also revealed that she first joined the gym to “check out” her now husband Chay Akkineni, and spend more time together with him. Gradually, she also became passionate about fitness. 

Her 2021 resolutions include sticking to a wholesome plant-based diet, make breath work, yoga and meditation a part of her daily routine and make sure she is happy, she revealed in the session.
