 "Soha Ali Khan")
Once a niche wellness fad, ghee coffee is again trending on social media, thanks to celebrities and nutritionists declaring ghee a superfood. After hearing the benefits of ghee from actor Malaika Arora and nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar on her podcast All About Her, Soha Ali Khan recently gave it a shot.
Sharing her first sip and sparking renewed curiosity around the creamy concoction, Soha said, “I know, I know… I’m late to the bulletproof coffee party. Honestly, it’s a miracle I showed up at all! Not every trend is meant for you, so before you put ghee in your coffee, look up the pros and cons and then listen to your body.”
What is ghee coffee?
Ghee coffee is a desi version of the globally popular bulletproof coffee. It involves stirring a spoonful of ghee into regular black coffee. Ghee, or clarified butter, is made by slow-simmering butter to remove water and milk solids, leaving behind a nutty-flavoured fat.
Supporters claim it provides steady energy, enhances focus, and even supports weight management. While the trend has been around in fitness circles for years, Soha’s post has brought it back into public view.
Why did Soha try it now?
In her Instagram video, Soha admitted she had reservations about ghee’s role in health. But after her discussion with Malaika and Rujuta—both of whom endorsed ghee as a superfood—she decided to try ghee coffee herself.

“It is not a magic detox drink. The benefits depend on your whole diet,” she told her followers.
What are the supposed benefits of ghee coffee?
Some of the reasons people are drawn to ghee coffee include:
- Ghee slows caffeine absorption, reducing energy crashes and jitters
- The healthy fats may improve mental alertness
- It could support digestion when used moderately
- Coffee provides antioxidants, while ghee adds fat-soluble vitamins
Who should avoid ghee coffee?
Ghee coffee is not for everyone, and the risks vary depending on individual health.
People with acid reflux or a sensitive stomach may find the fat-coffee combo uncomfortable. Those on high-calorie diets might find it works against their goals. Replacing breakfast with ghee coffee alone can also lead to missed nutrients.
Soha advised, “Try it if you’re curious, but let your body—not social media—decide.”
Soha’s pros and cons summary
Pros:
- Steady energy
- Healthy fats
- Improved focus
- Digestive support
Cons:
- May feel heavy
- Can trigger acidity
- Not suitable for all diets
Soha’s final verdict was clear: it’s not a miracle cure, but worth trying with proper research and attention to how your body responds.
