Her disclosure about embracing a vegetarian lifestyle is currently garnering significant attention on social media. Desai recounted that her decision to abstain from eating meat stemmed from witnessing a goat sacrifice during her childhood. She shared, “When I was seven years old, I directly witnessed the sacrifice of a baby goat. From that moment until now, I have not touched non-vegetarian food. Even though we are a Brahmin family, my father used to eat meat. But my mother never stopped us from touching meat. However, I decided not to eat it myself. From the moment I saw that incident at seven years old, I completely changed.” She further added that her mother is a strict vegetarian, not even consuming garlic or onions.
