Actor Neel Samarthh, who has been part of prominent shows like Kundali Bhagya, Bahu Hamari Rajni Kant, Sapnon Ki Chhalaang, Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, loves to refresh his closet every season. With summer peaking presently, Neel, who is currently seen in Sabse Bada Rupaiya on Atrangii, and will soon be seen in the web series Rose Garden, gears up to chat with IWMBuzz.com on his methods to beat the summer heat while shooting, the preferred diet and fashion style for the season.
Says Neel on how his wardrobe looks in summer, “I have started updating my wardrobe — lighter fabrics, loose fits, and lots of whites and pastels are my go-to. I try to refresh my closet every season; it keeps things exciting and gives me a legit excuse to shop a little! My summer hacks? Breathable clothes, minimal makeup, and carrying a face mist and wet wipes wherever I go!”
Neel talks about shooting in summer, saying, “It can get super draining. The sun takes a toll. I make sure to stay well-hydrated — nariyal paani (coconut water) is now a non-negotiable part of my daily routine. I never skip sunscreen, wear breathable clothes, and during breaks, I always find some shade or sit in front of an A/C. A good pair of sunglasses and a hat are also absolute essentials!”
On the food he prefers to eat, Neel avers, “I love eating fruits like watermelon — they are perfect coolants! Curd-based dishes are also a staple in my summer meals. I try to avoid oily or overly spicy food as it just makes you feel heavier in the heat. My simple rule is: keep it light, keep it cool!”
On the memories related to summer from his childhood, the actor vividly explains, “It has to be the summer vacations! Playing all day, sipping cold Rasna in the afternoons, eating mangoes after lunch, and sleeping under the cooler with the soothing smell of khus mats (vetiver blinds) filling the room. Those were truly the golden days. Just thinking about them makes me so nostalgic.”
