She wanted to make sure that she is chiselled, in good shape so that on-screen she also looked like it...Since the time she was married to me, she has had blackouts on a couple of occasions.” he further added that the dietician had advised the actress to not stick to ‘severe diet’. He also revealed that the Mr India actress suffered from low BP because she avoided salt. 

He added, “The doctor kept on telling her that you have a low bp issue, don't stick to a severe diet where you avoid salt. Because most of the females believe that salt creates water retention that's why your face is puffy. That is one reason why Sri used to avoid salt. We used to tell her that even if you are having some salad, just sprinkle some salt on it.” Speaking o the same, Kapoor also recalled how the police concluded that her death was a tragic accident and gave him a clean chit in the matter.
