You might have seen many chai lovers in your life but this woman has broken all records of being an ardent chai lover.
A Chhattisgarh woman is been drinking chai since 3o years and is completely fine. Isn’t it shocking? But yes you read it right.
Pilli Devi gave up food at the age of 11 and has been surviving on tea since then. Famous for her unique lifestyle, she is locally known as chai wali chachi.
According to her father, Rati Ram, the 44-year-old quit food when she was in the sixth grade. “Our daughter went to participate in a district level tournament from the Patna School in Janakpur, Koriya District. When she returned, she suddenly gave up eating food and drinking water.”
He also added that initially she used to eat bread and biscuit with milk tea but due to the poor condition of the family she gradually opted for black tea. Now Pilli only drinks tea that too after sunset.
Devi’s brother Bihari Lal Rajvade told that they also took her for medical examination to ensure she is not suffering from any disease.
“We have taken her too many hospitals but none of the doctors could figure out the reason behind her situation,” he said
Her family members told that she rarely goes out from the house and is absorbed in Lord Shiva’s worship whole day.
The district hospital doctor, Dr SK Gupta said that it is not possible for human beings to survive on just tea.
