Jacky Bhagnani and Rakul Preet Singh on growing their own food: 'We grow many herbs, leafy greens and...'
Bhagnani added, 'Chemicals in food can cause multiple health problems and it is advisable to avoid them as much as possible.' read more As we celebrated World Environment Day, Jacky Bhagnani and Rakul Preet Singh opened up about growing their own food when the actor-turned-producer revealed, 'Well, both Rakul and I are deeply interested in health, wellness and clean eating. At some point, we wanted to explore growing our own food. Sometime back, I researched and found that the fertilisers used to get maximum yield in agriculture contain high levels of chemicals.' Bhagnani added, 'Chemicals in food can cause multiple health problems and it is advisable to avoid them as much as possible. Since we firmly believe that we are what we eat, we decided to set up a kitchen garden and grow vegetables on our terrace.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD On gardening Gardening is like therapy. There's something very calming about watching something grow — it grounds you. In an industry where your mind is always racing and you're juggling a hundred things, even ten minutes spent watering plants or checking on new sprouts gives you perspective. It also boosts creativity — nature has its own way of inspiring ideas. When asked about his favourite vegetables that he grows, the producer said, 'We grow many herbs, leafy greens, root vegetables and fruits. In the initial stage, it was very exciting to grow brinjal as 'baingan ka bharta' is a family favourite. We also love growing our own mint, coriander, peppers, capsicum, bitter gourd, tomatoes, cucumber, lady's fingers and pumpkin.' When asked if Bollywood characters were plants, Jackky said, 'That's a fun one! I think I'd be like Kabir from 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' — adventurous, always growing, a little unpredictable but rooted deep when it matters. Or maybe 'Bhuvan' from Lagaan — patient, hopeful, and someone who believes that with hard work and a little faith, the clouds can part.'
