This episode of Sustainable Tea with Shreya brings me full circle with one of my favourite people, an actor, a mother, and someone who’s admired by everyone.
Genelia’s journey is one that reflects not just change, but courage. From her iconic roles in her film career to leading a life centered on compassion and conscious choices, hers is a story that will inspire you to follow your instincts—even when it’s not the easy path.
As we sipped on our Sustainable Tea, we talked about the shifts that have taken place in her life, from stepping away from the silver screen on her own terms to raising her children in a way that aligns with her values. Genelia opened up about how her kids have shown her what it means to be sensitive and empathetic—reminding her that today’s generation has an innate sense of compassion that can teach even us adults a thing or two.
Starting from her early days as a non-vegetarian to her family now being plant-based, Genelia reflects on the transformative reawakening she’s undergone. This shift wasn’t only about changing food habits—it was about aligning her life with the values that matter most. With candidness and warmth, she shares the challenges she’s faced, from public scrutiny to personal doubt, all while navigating what it means to do what feels right for herself, her family, the animals, and the planet.
It’s a deeper understanding of the impact of our choices. We touched upon how, despite the overwhelming scientific evidence, there’s still so much misinformation around plant-based nutrition and health. She shared the highs and lows of this process, from the pushback she’s faced to the small victories that have made it all worthwhile.
This episode isn’t just about nutrition or parenting; it’s about rethinking the way we approach life in general, encouraging us all to Imagine Meats kinder, greener, healthier ways forward—and reminding us that with conviction and the right mindset, that future is within reach.
Join us for a heartfelt conversation of hope, learning, and empathy to inspire ideas of sustainability and the little it takes to make a greater impact.

1 个月What an inspiring journey! Genelia Deshmukh's shift from a traditional Mangalorean Catholic upbringing to adopting a plant-based lifestyle truly showcases the power of intention and transformation. ?? It’s not just about food; it’s about rethinking habits, navigating social expectations, and redefining well-being for her family. Her story resonates deeply—making plant-based eating accessible through Imagine Meats and raising children on mindful nutrition, all while balancing the demands of parenting and career. The way she busts myths around plant-based diets and encourages others to explore this lifestyle is both refreshing
