Few weeks ago, Farhan Akhtar suffered a throat infection and since then he has gone the vegetarian way.

As per our sources, the ace actor was recommended to eat a lighter meal due to the infection but has continued being vegetarian since then. On another note, Farhan has taken it up as more of a detox. In fact, it has become more of a mental discipline exercise for Farhan now. Said Farhan, "I have been on a vegetarian diet since the last couple of weeks. It's like a detox for the body and given this heat wave we're enduring, it`s helped in keeping my energy level up."

We were told that Farhan has been eating a lot of fruits, vegetables and pulses in his meal. There is a complete shift in his diet and his team has actively been looking out for more vegetarian food options.

After 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' where he maintained a strenuous regime physically and mentally underwent an absolute change. And now, going vegetarian is a similar thought. Farhan has decided to adhere to this every once in a while. He finds it healthy both for the body and mind.

Farhan will soon be seen on big screen with 'Dil Dhadakne Do', while his another project 'Wazir' is in its post production. Besides his 'Rock On 2' has started with its ground work.
