โ€œSince we are not allowed to go to the ground, I am doing workouts in the room. We have a 30-40 metre long lawn, and I am utilising it for exercise. Started doing yoga and mind exercise.

โ€œEating habits have also changed. I have stopped eating meat and I am consuming more fruits and water,โ€ added the 20-year old Assam girl.
