Naga Chaitanya called sugar the most harmful toxin for one’s body.

Naga Chaitanya is currently seen in Thandel.

Naga Chaitanya is currently making waves for his film, Thandel. The film is based on a real-life incident from 2018, where a group of fishermen from Srikakulam, Andhra Pradesh, inadvertently crossed into Pakistan waters and were detained. Thandel marks a significant point in Naga Chaitanya‘s career and he is going all out to promote the film. From delving into his personal life to talking about his career, Chay has left no stone unturned.

The actor recently appeared on a podcast and opened up about his ideas on fitness. He delved into why he thinks sugar is the most harmful toxin for someone’s body. Chay said on the Raw Talks With VK podcast, “Sugar is the biggest toxin for your body. Alcohol is better, tobacco is better, anything is better.”

Naga Chaitanya then quipped, “Please don’t quote me on this. I’m just saying… don’t put a Reel on this. I’m just saying, in comparison, I believe sugar causes us many problems like cancer, diabetes and so many things that are life-threatening. So I’m very conscious. I consume very little sugar, only on my cheat days.”

When it was pointed out to him that he represented the Magnum ice cream brand at Cannes recently, he reiterated that he only consumes sugar on his cheat days and that too in moderation. Meanwhile, Chay is currently receiving praise for Thandel.

News18 Showsha gave the film 3/5 stars. Our review read, “Naga Chaitanya complements her (Sai Pallavi) skilful performance with equally commendable acting. He is convincing as the youngster who is torn between being a dedicated lover and a dutiful leader. Devi Sri Prasad’s background score, especially the violin, adds beauty to this romance. However, the songs become a bit forgettable in comparison to the background score.”

“While the romance becomes the film’s strong point, the second half, which predominantly takes place in a Pakistan jail, takes a generic route. Everything becomes a tad bit predictable with a cardboard cutout for a villain. The same effort that had gone into the writing of the romance becomes a bit absent here as the director resorts to the usual conflicts and emotional manipulations that were seen in several such Indian films about Pakistan,” the review also mentioned.
