Richa recently went from vegetarian to vegan. "I've always been vegetarian and I was slowly getting sick of dairy because I realized the dairy industry functions very differently from when our parents were consuming dairy and poultry products – in terms of mass production and numbers – so I decided to give that up altogether," she told Vegan First. "So the transition from being vegetarian to vegan was not very difficult for me." Now she gets her protein from spinach, sprouts, and tofu.

She Treats Her Body with Respect

In an interview with IndiaToday.In, Richa explained that weight loss is an individual journey. "Just observe your body and treat it with respect, like a process rather than a destination. That's all I want to say because there's no point in giving weight-loss tips as every second person has a fitness ideology and attitude. I am not qualified," she said.
