During a YouTube chat, actors Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur, alongside hosts Parmeet Sethi and Archana Puran Singh, revealed their diverse food preferences, with Mrunal favoring ragi balls and chicken curry while Archana and her sons are vegetarian. Psychotherapist Delnna Rrajesh explains that such differing food choices within families, which reflect individual autonomy, culture, ethics, or health needs, do not equate to disconnection but rather underscore the importance of mutual respect and zero shaming. She emphasizes that food is deeply personal, tied to memory, religion, and nostalgia, and therefore, accepting different dietary choices is about acknowledging dignity. Delnna concludes that emotional maturity is about maintaining connection despite differences, and when families model this quiet inclusion, children learn emotional safety, fostering a home where the table becomes a place for healing, listening, and honoring individual identities.
