Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Since you are a face from the entertainment industry people tend to recognize you, tell us does it hamper you’re travelling ventures?
Ms. Shenaz Treasuryvala:
No, not at all, not at all, in fact, it’s an honour when people recognize me and ask me to come and ask me to take a picture with them. I feel honoured that they appreciate and like my work.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have spoken about mental health on your page, do you feel in India still people don’t talk about mental health more openly and it is considered a taboo?
Ms. Shenaz Treasuryvala:
I cover mental health in my videos a lot. I feel it’s important. Like, for example, this quarantine time. It’s a very trying time. And I do pride myself for feeling that I am mentally strong and I am able to, be happy. And I feel like, of course, I’ve gone through phases of up and down and happiness and sadness and a lot. So I would like to share that. And I feel like to make myself have a purpose in this world. Like for me, I want to feel my purpose in this world is to spread positivity and happiness and to serve and do good. And that’s like my mantra. And so everything I do, I want to. I kind of think of that purpose and I do it. So every video I make, everything I make is on that purpose.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Since you are travelling most of the time, how do you maintain your diet and stay fit?
Ms. Shenaz Treasuryvala:
Pretty particular about what I eat. I never eat junk food. If I just let go and eat everything, I am usually fat. So I think I was a fat kid. And, I work out I’m active every day when I’m traveling. I’m walking from night to day. So I’m pretty active, you know, I don’t have to exercise, exercise consists of grand hikes or swimming or trying some new sport like surfing. So that’s taken care of when I travel. And then food wise I don’t eat sugar, I don’t eat bread, flour, wheat, wheat sometimes. But yeah, these are the things I stay away from.
And I’m mostly vegetarian. I only eat fish sometimes and I eat eggs sometimes, but mostly like right now in quarantine and haven’t had anything no eggs no fish. And I like staying light, active. I turned vegetarian two years ago when I started this whole travel. Of course, when I’m traveling, sometimes there is no vegetarian food. And if there’s something that’s really special and that’s non veg and, you know, there’s nothing else to eat I’ll have a little of that.
