Amid relationship rumours with Tamannaah Bhatia, Vijay Varma spotted with this Bengali actress

The actress has a simple summer workout routine. She doesn’t like to change her workout regime too much. But yes, she believes in staying active all year round, as it keeps her physically and mentally healthy. As for the workout, she goes with the flow and tries to listen to what her body tells her to do. The actress is also big on yoga and takes wellness more seriously than body shape or size. Fitness for her is a way of life, not a seasonal pursuit.

Dehydration and sunstroke are very common in summers. Hence, Darshana advises that one should drink plenty of water, coconut water as it contains potassium which is needed to have a healthy immunity and eat lots of fruits like watermelon, muskmelon etc. that are high on water content. Also, it is very important to have Vitamin C thereby; citrus fruits are a must as they consist of anti-oxidants which make immune system strong to fight illness in summers.

For Shruti Das, comfort comes first for her, especially when it’s all about summer fashion. So, what kind of outfits she prefer in summer? Well, the ‘X=Prem’ actress is more into loose, relaxed silhouettes and fabrics like cotton and linen. She is also a huge fan of oversized clothing. Shruti feels that if done right, oversized looks really cool and comfy. Also, she just loves to go through her mother’s wardrobe for cotton saris. If not, it will be flowy oufits and oversized T-shirts to beat the summer heat.

How does she keep herself summer safe? The actor has a three-pronged approach — high SPF sunscreen, hydration, and meditation. Summer means a lot of sunlight and heat, so one needs to stay cool, and calm from within. When asked about what’s her favourite summer holiday destination she promptly answers “The hills, always the hills!”

Is there any special diet plan, especially to counter the extreme heat? In summer, the talented actor believes hydration is the key, so she takes lots of fruits, fluids and foods that keep the system cool. She likes to indulge in seasonal fruits and veggies. There’s a reason why a certain thing grows in a certain weather, so one must take advantage of that. Also, an early and light dinner helps. She avoids eating oily and fried food in general.
