The Bollywood star spoke to the people present at the event and said that it is important to eat early so your stomach gets ample rest.  “Why is it important to eat at 6.30 in the evening? It is very important for your body because when we go to sleep at night, our eyes are resting, our legs are resting, our hands are resting, every part of our body is resting," he said and added, "But what is not resting is your stomach because we have eaten food late.”

“By the time you get up, it is time for him to relax. But when we get up, we eat our breakfast, and again the poor stomach is working… I am explaining it in a very very simple way and you all know, you all know that the stomach, all the diseases come from there," he added explaining in lay terms why it is extremely important to eat the last meal of the day much before bedtime.
