I ate one meal at 8 or 8:30 p.m.” He added, “That meal was lactose-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free… Later, I continued the diet. I am mildly lactose intolerant, so I drink almond milk.”

Fardeen Khan Quits Drinking The actor stopped drinking for a healthier lifestyle. He shared in a podcast with Cyrus Broacha, “I was sober in the early 2020s. That’s when I kicked the habit completely during the COVID-19 lockdown. I stopped in one go. It had come to a point where it was interfering with my life. I sought professional help to stop, and it was probably the best decision I ever made. I started drinking very young. For the first time, the brain fog cleared.”
