Actor Minissha Lamba has marked five years as a vegetarian, sharing that the decision reshaped her sense of well-being and personal alignment. The actress, known for roles in films such as Corporate, Bachna Ae Haseeno, and Bheja Fry 2, reflected on the milestone in a candid Instagram post, describing the shift as one driven by conscience rather than trend.
Minissha explained that her journey began not with a long-term plan, but with a short personal experiment. She committed to one month without meat, treating it as a test rather than a permanent declaration. The motivation behind the change, she said, was years of internal conflict between consumption and guilt.
In her Instagram caption, the actor shared that despite having vegetarian options available, she continued eating meat while feeling emotionally unsettled about it. She described the mental friction as draining, noting that logic and justification were no longer enough to silence the discomfort she carried.
Her post highlighted how she extended her goals incrementally — from one month to six weeks, then two months, three months, and eventually half a year, at which point the habit felt less like sacrifice and more like conviction. She credited smaller, time-bound targets for helping her sustain consistency without emotional overwhelm.
Minissha said the shift brought psychological relief and a calmer relationship with food, describing the experience as fulfilling rather than restrictive. She emphasised that the change allowed her to finally close the gap between values and action.
Welcoming 2026, Minissha encouraged others to approach personal goals without framing them as permanent from day one. She suggested giving decisions time to settle, evolve, and prove themselves through lived experience rather than pressure-driven promises.
She signed off her message wishing followers a Happy New Year and sharing hashtags that celebrate both the milestone and the mindset that helped her sustain it.
