- Non-veg available only for two days: Komalpreet started power lifting game and found out that diet plays a big role in it and she will have to eat non-veg at least six days a week. When the coach gave a diet plan, it was difficult for the family to follow it. The family tried their best but they are able to give him non-veg only two days a week.
