Like any other fruit and vegetable, the bitter gourd juice is said to have several health benefits, including lower blood pressure, reduced blood sugar levels, improved skin health, and many others.
The Bollywood director and author, Tahira Kashyap is very much health conscious. She makes sure to keep herself fit and in order to do so, she had made a healthy green drink for herself. However, the healthy juice turned out not so healthy for her.
