Hina Khan loves to keep up a balanced diet – and her Instagram is a proof of that. Every now and then, we see her indulging in greasy and decadent biryani and mutton curry, which she balances out with healthy salad, smoothies and drinks (and of course, regular exercise). Her diet regime sees no difference even when she’s on vacation. Hina Khan is currently in Egypt, vacationing with boyfriend Rocky Jaiswal. If you scroll through her Instagram, you will find the actor experimenting with the bests of the Egyptian foods – we can see her indulging in kushari (Egyptian fried rice), falafel and more. However, Hina has also kept fruits and healthy beverages in her diet to keep it clean and balanced. One such drink Hina included in her diet regime while in Egypt is hibiscus tea. Take a look at one of her recent Insta-story featuring her cup of hibiscus tea.
