Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan, known for his fitness, recently disclosed that he has discontinued drinking black coffee in the morning due to gut issues and acidity. However, Dhawan’s remarks prompted a response from nutritionist Prashant Desai, who disputed the claim, labelling it inaccurate. Now, the actor has also reacted to the criticism coming his way.
During an interview on Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast, Dhawan spoke about health concerns linked to the consumption of black coffee on an empty stomach in the morning. He said starting the day with black coffee impacted his gut health, adding that switching to blonde roast coffee was good for him. He said it is easier on the stomach. When the host revealed that he does consume black coffee on an empty stomach, he asked him not to.
“If you get up in the morning and start with only black coffee, even if you don’t have gut trouble, you will start having it,” Varun Dhawan said.
These comments by Dhawan didn’t land well with health expert Prashant Desai, who came forward to school him. Taking to Instagram, Desai wrote, “C’mon Varun, really? This is so not true. I have been having black coffee for 15 years now after waking up, on an empty stomach. No issues whatsoever. What is true is that everyone’s gut is different like your finger print. But to say everyone will have gut issues and acidity is not true. Varun Dhawan may have had acidity and so be it. Food is personal. What doesn’t work for someone doesn’t make it a universal truth!”
Dhawan took note of the criticism and responded by asking for tips. Dhawan wrote on his Instagram Stories, “That’s totally true it didn’t work for me. I’m glad it hasn’t affected you and you are healthy and super fit. I did say it’s not one size fits all if you hear ahead I’m glad you can use me as an example to educate people sir but please gimme some tips also then always happy to learn from an expert.”
Varun Dhawan’s next movie, Baby John, is highly anticipated. In the action-packed drama, directed by Kalees and produced by Atlee, Dhawan will be seen taking on the role of a police officer and single father, who doesn’t back down from a challenge. It also stars Wamiqa Gabbi, Keerthy Suresh, and Jackie Shroff, with a special cameo by Salman Khan. Baby John will be released on Christmas Day.
