SUMMER STYLE SPECIAL Does summer bring back happy days from your childhood?

I grew up in Bangalore in an apartment so summer holidays were when we went outdoors and engaged in lots of activities. My parents usually took us to Goa every summer; we stayed at Cidade De Goa Beach Resort, went swimming and got tanned on the beach. In fact, I received my first swimming lesson at the age of five when my mom put me in a floating tube at the resort pool.

While growing up I pursued many other sports—badminton, tennis and cycling—during the summer holidays.

But afternoons were set aside for baking cookies, brownies and cakes with friends. I also shot for a few advertisements during the summer break.

I really miss the time I spent with my family on long holidays. In fact, what I miss the most is prepping for those holidays which started with discussing destinations, planning the trip, making reservations and telling friends about it. I rarely get to go on a vacation now because of my busy

I think I taped for Sajid Khan’s Housefull in London. But it was special because my mom turned 50 last summer and my parents joined me in London for a week. After which I sent them on a Mediterranean cruise.

Did you buy anything special for yourself?

I bought a few rings and earrings from Tiffany. Sadly, they don’t make anklets, which is my most favourite accessory.

What’s your go-to product this season?

Neutrogena sunblock cream. And open footwear and big sling bags are my staple. I drink lots of water, eat fresh fruits and green vegetables, since it’s easy to break out because of the humidity and harsh sun. Also, I have a weakness for massages. I check into a spa at least twice every month.

A styling trick that you have picked up over the years.

Never do too many things at one time.

You cannot wear great clothes and carry great jewellery and an amazing bag at the same time. The focus should be on one or two things.

What are your plans for this summer?

Well, I’m simultaneously taping two movies—Pradeep Sarkar’s untitled film with Neil Nitin Mukesh and Kunal Kolhi’s Break Ke Baad with Imran Khan till June. After that my friends and I will go trekking in Leh and Ladakh. I have always wanted to try my hand at trekking and in the last six months the urge has only become stronger. And I’m glad that I’m finally going to get a taste of it.

The season also marks new beginnings.

Are you geared up to make a fresh start with Ranbir, as suggested by news reports?

I cannot comment.
