The Haseena Parkar star: Shraddha Kapoor gives us a sneak-peak into her day and beauty routine
ELLE: How do you start your day?
Shraddha Kapoor (SK): My morning routine keeps changing, but I love starting my day with meditation. Then I go through my to-do list for the day.
ELLE: What do you have for breakfast?
SK: Breakfast for me is always simple and wholesome. Since turning vegetarian, I love experimenting with different ingredients. I try to incorporate different fruits as well to keep it exciting. I follow up with a dose of Power Gummies supplements.
ELLE: How do you care for your hair?
SK: I use a gentle cleansing shampoo and conditioner in the shower. If I’m not shooting, I avoid using heat. I also take supplements for hair and nails to nourish and strengthen them.
ELLE: What’s your make-up routine like?
Shraddha Kapoor: Unless I’m going to an event, my make-up regimen is minimal at best. I start with a simple moisturizer. A little dot of concealer, a couple of swishes of mascara, a tinted lip balm, and I’m ready to go.

ELLE: What’s your go-to evening look?
SK: For the evening, I gravitate towards a smokey-eye, paired with a subtle lip and open natural hair; it’s an effortlessly elegant look for the night.
ELLE: Your favourite fragrance?
SK: Giorgio Armani Code
ELLE: How do you like to style your hair?
SK: My go-to hair-dos include a simple ponytail or pulled-back hair. I like to play around with braids as well.
ELLE: What’s your mantra for being confident?
SK: My mantra has to be, ‘Feel good on the inside, and it’ll reflect on the outside’. I think that applies to confidence, beauty and everything else. I keep an open mind, try to stay positive, and most importantly, take out an hour daily for myself free of any gadgets.
ELLE: What’s in your lunch today?
SK: Lunch is simple home-cooked food—dal, vegetables and a pickle.
ELLE: How do you unwind?
SK: I spend time with family, steer clear of any gadgets and take the time to calibrate and reconnect with myself. Meditation goes a long way!
ELLE: Your beauty obsession…
SK: I’m obsessed with Power Gummies! I love how they’re so convenient to carry in the bag and loaded with nourishing ingredients. Also, they taste delicious.

ELLE: What’s your evening beauty ritual?
SK: Taking off my make-up is something I take very seriously. Cleansing my face with a gentle foam wash and just letting it breathe.
ELLE: What’s the last thing you do before turning off the lights?
SK: Before going to bed, I either read a book or listen to music that helps me relax and unwind. I also write in my gratitude journal and reflections journal sometimes.
