Many Bollywood celebrities, including Virat Kohli, Tiger Shroff, Malaika Arora, Karan Johar, and Karisma Kapoor are known to drink black alkaline water. Apparently, the beverage offers health benefits for those suffering from digestion issues and even has rich mineral content and detoxifying properties. Shehnaaz Gill is the latest celeb to join the league of drinking this magic elixir. However, the actor recently claimed that there are no particular advantages of drinking black water. She also revealed the cost of the infused water.
During an episode of Sunday Brunch with Curly Tales, Shehnaaz shared that she drinks black alkaline water only on her shoots. “I only drink this during my shoots. It is not expensive as such. It is alkaline water, it has minerals, that’s what I have heard. I drink very less amount of water, but if it would be expensive, then I would think that something expensive is going inside me so I need to drink it,” she said.
Talking about its cost, Shehnaaz added, “It is available for Rs 100, Rs 200, and even Rs 600. Nothing happens from drinking it. It is just water, I see something black so I drink it, thinking of it as black coffee. The taste is same like normal water.”
The actor also revealed that she plans to use this water for hair care. “A filter is also placed at home for alkaline water. I haven’t gotten it fixed yet, but I will get it done soon. I have also heard that if you wash your hair using this water, it enhances them. I have no idea, I am only following what I have heard. If it benefits after 2-3 months then I will continue it,” she said.
Shehnaaz Gill will next be seen in the Punjabi film Ikk Kudi, set to hit the theatres on October 31. Written and directed by Amarjit Singh, it also stars Gurjazz and Nirmal Rishi.
