In a social media post, Bhagyashree shared a video of herself relishing Kulhad lassi, stating that it provided the much-needed energy boost after a long day. She highlighted the nutritional benefits of curds, dry fruits, and water in the lassi, emphasizing the importance of personal dietary choices based on health needs.
