Whatever he has been asking us to make, based on his diet chart, we would make for him. He wouldn't eat anything special, dal, roti, rice, milk, veggies, etc," Mayank's mother Mamata revealed in a chat with Aaj Tak. Stating that she is yet to figure out why Mayank quit non-veg food, but added that she is aware of the reasons behind it. Citing the first reason, his mother said that it was due to his belief in Lord Krishna and secondly, it probably the non-vegetarian food wasn't suiting his body anymore.

"He said that non-veg food wasn't suiting his body much. He told us about two reasons. First was he started to believe in Lord Krishna, that could be one of the reasons too.

We didn't force him to reveal why he quit non-veg food. He said whatever I was doing, was good for his game and his body," Mayank's mother revealed. Mamata appeared hopeful of seeing Mayank donning the India jersey soon and making his international debut.
