In a fascinating glimpse into the morning habits of actors Yogita Bihani and Aaryamann Sethi, we learn about their contrasting routines. While Aaryamann kicks off his day with a cup of black coffee, Yogita embraces a more traditional approach. Her morning rituals involve soaking fennel, cumin, and fenugreek seeds, followed by drinking the water infused with their natural properties. This divergence in morning routines reflects their individual preferences and lifestyles.
Yogita explained, “I soak saunf (fennel seeds), jeera (cumin seeds), and methi (fenugreek seeds) overnight, then strain and drink the water in the morning. I take a spoon of ghee with lukewarm water. That is my routine every day — no matter 75 or not. He (Aary) drinks coffee,” shared the Vadh 2 actor.
Aaryamann, in his YouTube vlog, mentioned their ongoing “75 Hard Challenge” noting the lack of strict routines. “Whenever we get time, we eat, work out, or meditate,” he said.
“Every day is different. You cannot set a routine,” Yogita added.

Dt. Amreen Sheikh, the chief dietitian at KIMS Hospitals in Thane, explained that soaking these seeds allows their beneficial properties to infuse into the water. “When consumed in the morning, it gently activates digestion and helps the body transition from rest to activity. Many individuals report feelings of lightness and reduced bloating when incorporating this habit into their daily routine,” remarked Sheikh.
Why is ghee taken with lukewarm water?
According to Sheikh, a small amount of ghee can assist with bowel movements and promote gut lubrication, especially beneficial for those who wake up feeling stiff or constipated. “Lukewarm water facilitates smoother absorption. Moderation is key; just a spoon is sufficient,” she advised.
Does age affect whether such routines work?
Sheikh noted that consistency is more crucial than age. “Simple food-based habits can be effective across ages if practiced daily. The body responds more positively to regularity than to age,” she explained.
Is starting the day with coffee a bad idea?

Not necessarily, Sheikh affirmed. “Coffee can enhance alertness and mood for many individuals. However, for some, consuming it on an empty stomach may result in acid reflux or discomfort. It is most effective when aligned with a person’s digestive tolerance,” she stated.
What to note?
No single routine applies to everyone. These practices yield the best results when they align with an individual’s lifestyle, digestion, and overall comfort. Paying attention to how your body responds is far more important than following trends. “Whether opting for traditional seed water or a cup of coffee, the best routine is one that feels sustainable, balanced, and easy to maintain daily,” concluded Sheikh.
