On International Meatless Day, Manushi revealed, "For me, being vegetarian was more of a personal choice. It has been and will always be a way of life for me because my parents are vegetarians and I have inculcated this through them. However, they never forced this on me. I made my choice after I realised that it suits for me remarkably and makes me feel fitter and healthier."

The beauty queen says she enjoys eating clean and believes that being a vegetarian leads to several health benefits.
Manushi says, "I have since then believed in eating clean and I have realised over the years that plant based diet works better for me. I can't point out one negative to eating like this. I'm a firm believer of this diet and I would recommend it to people who would want to try it out and see if they feel different after being on it. Being a vegetarian is an integral part of my life and I have realised multiple benefits due to my life choice."
Meanwhile, the actress had an interesting anecdote about how she bagged the role by performing a scene that Deepika Padukone did in 'Bajirao Mastani'.
Manushi said, “Every thing about my debut in the film about Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan’s life and daredevilry is special. I remember I had the most intense and challenging audition for the film because I was given a scene that Deepika Padukone performed incredibly in Bajirao Mastani! I knew I had to do a good job for me to get Prithviraj and thankfully Adi sir, my director Chandraprakash ji, Shanoo Sharma and the team at YRF were impressed by my effort.”
