As summer sets in, many turn to age-old home remedies to stay cool. Actress Diksha Dhami, who plays Chaina in Shemaroo Umang's show ‘Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain’, shares how she’s managing the scorching heat while shooting long hours.
She shares “Growing up, summer was my favorite season because it meant vacations at my Nani’s house, where she would make the most refreshing aam panna. I miss those carefree days when we never worried about sunscreen or tanning—summer was just about fun! But now, with long outdoor shoots, I have to be extra mindful of staying cool and hydrated.”
Diksha swears by simple, natural ways to beat the heat. “I always carry a bottle of sabza (basil seed) water—it keeps my body cool while shooting. Hydration is key, so I drink as much water as possible between takes to avoid heatstroke. My summer diet includes refreshing fruits like muskmelon and watermelon, which help regulate body temperature. I also avoid oily and spicy foods that can add to body heat.”
Skincare is another priority for the actors. “I use aloe vera gel and ice cubes—it helps to soothen the skin. Of course, I never step out without sunscreen to prevent burns,” she adds.
Her summer mantra? “Stick to everything natural! It’s the best way to stay cool and refreshed.”
