Earlier I used to never oil my hair and after I got married to Vivek I see him oiling his hair all
the time and now what does is that he sits and oils my hair as well
You shouldn’t experiment too much with your skin. You should let it breathe
And it’s a regular, when I don’t put hair products, my skin remains clean.
Sunscreen, recently I have added it to my regime because I used to miss it at time but I have
realised that I have started to get a bit of rosacea like red cheeks and all
That shimmer got to the cheeks and after that it was terrible because it wouldn’t just come off
Till now you have been entertaining us on screen with your acting and with your dance and
when we see you Instagram its like you look flawless. So, I want to know do you have any
skin care secrets that you would swear by, home remedies or anything?
So actually, I don’t do much. My biggest thing is that you shouldn’t experiment too much with
your skin. You should let it breathe. For skin care I would say one should drink lots of water
and one should keep one’ skin very clean because if you sleep with clogged pores you
bound to get acne the next day also, another reason for acne is dandruff or dry hair. Even
hair products. I have experienced it myself because working so much in so many years if I
am with the products on for longer and not wash it, then I get a lot of pimples. And it’s a
regular, when I don’t put hair products, my skin remains clean. So, it can happen because of product .
So are you one of those who inherently has good skin because of your genes or do you have skin issues like acne or eczema or
I have those pimple days. The weirdest is that the pimple comes when there is an amazing
show about to happen, everyone is going to looking at it and that the day I would get a
pimple. So, there was a shooting I was doing for Cold Lassi Chicken Masala and in that there
was a track that is in the past where I had to look 10 years younger that time I got pimple. I
took it as a positive as I had to look young so.
When you get a pimple, we read that people put toothpaste on it or any cream or burst it. Is
there anything that you do? Or do you just let it be?
Don’t follow what I do because I burst.
So do you follow or have a skin care routine or a beauty routine?
My skin routine is if I have put on makeup, I will tell you the products that I use. There’s
makeup removing oil. So I just apply that oil on my face because it just melts away my
makeup and then I take some water on my palms and rub it again so it melts and then I use
a facewash. The one that suits my skin and then I moisturise and after that if I am going out
in day time the I put on sunscreen lotion. Sunscreen, recently I have added it to my regime
because I used to miss it at time but I have realised that I have started to get a bit of rosacea
like red cheeks and all so I have started putting sunscreen lotion because in India its really
important. Even if we are in the house, we are exposed to sunlight.
What is the weirdest thing that you have applied on your skin till now?
Prosthetic makeup, putting gums here. Its latex mostly. We used to use gum at one point if
you had to show burn marks then you stuck cotton on gum and then shaped on the skin. To
remove that one had to use Johnson oil or some oil to remove it so a lot of weird prosthetic
make up has happened on my face but I love all of those.
Has there ever been a time where you had a makeup disaster or a beauty disaster?
Yes, I did. So, I was going for a family wedding. I was already running late because I had to
another city for the wedding. My makeup artist applied sparkle to my eyelids but that
shimmer couldn’t stick there. But towards the end of the makeup and the hair was set, that
shimmer got to the cheeks and after that it was terrible because it wouldn’t just come off.
Even I tried, there is a hack that if you have to remove shimmer you use a cello tape and pull
it off so the shimmer sticks and come off for anyone. But even that wasn’t working. Then I
did my entire makeup again. So that’s one day I don’t forget.
What is your go to home remedy for hair? In your line of work especially you have a lot of
heat tools that are being used on your hair so there is hair fall, there is breakage, there is
dryness. What do you do for your hair care?
When I find my hair even slightly dirty, I wash them with warm water then I put conditioner
and wash it off with cold water. Cold or room temperature. So that the pores get closed
again. And besides that, I apply some heat protectant serum if I have to do some heat
treatment. Once it’s done, I would apply some Moroccan oil or some other serum to it so just
to smoothen it up because the kind of damage they go through because of all the heat
products and all the heating tools so it’s important to rehydrate it so we can put some nice
tiny amounts of oils to it but that works.
So, I want to know what is the best beauty or skin care advice that you got and who gave it to you?
Oiling. Hair oiling. It really works and earlier I used to never oil my hair and after I got
married to Vivek I see him oiling his hair all the time and now what does is that he sits and
oils my hair as well and yeah, it smoothens up my hair and I am seeing the results, its really
good. So, oiling I think is good for hair.
It’s a very nice couple activity also.
Yeah.
Thank you so much for this. It was a pleasure talking to you.
It was a pleasure talking to you today. And wish you all the best. Stay safe. Follow all the precautions.
