What is your happy skin mantra?

Manushi: There are two things I strongly follow: The first one being, drinking ample amounts of water. And the second one is focusing on inner happiness. When you genuinely feel good on the inside, it really reflects on the outside too.

Fashion is becoming minimal and taking a departure from logo mania what do you feel about this?

Manushi: Fashion is all about personal style and individual preferences. While there has been a recent trend towards more minimalist designs and less logo mania, many designers are still incorporating logos into their collections in a more subtle and integrated way. Ultimately, the most important thing is for each person to feel confident and comfortable in their own unique style.

Tell us about how it was working with Akshay for your debut album

Manushi:Working with Akshay Sir for my debut album was truly a remarkable experience. As a newcomer in the industry, I could not have asked for a better mentor. It was eye-opening to see the level of discipline and professionalism he brings to the table. Collaborating with someone of his seniority and experience allowed me to gain valuable insights and further develop my own skills.

Your fitness and diet routine include…?

Manushi: Maintaining a healthy fitness and diet routine is important to me, and I prioritize regular exercise and healthy eating in my daily life. I try to workout at least five days a week, with a focus on resistance training as my preferred form of exercise. The length of my workout varies depending on my schedule for the day, but I aim to spend at least an hour in the gym.

In terms of my diet, I believe in the importance of simple, satisfying, and balanced meals. When I am not travelling, I enjoy home-cooked meals that provide comfort and nourishment. This allows me to control the ingredients and ensure that I’m getting the nutrients my body needs to stay healthy and energized. Overall, I believe that consistency is key when it comes to fitness and diet, and I strive to maintain a routine that works for me and my lifestyle

Mental health and well-being have a lot to do with beauty?

Manushi: I wholeheartedly agree with the notion that mental health and well-being are intricately connected to beauty. As social beings, our desire for acceptance in society is inherent, and society’s perception of beauty significantly influences how we are treated, impacting our mental well-being.

However, it is important to recognise that each of us have our own unique self-perception and we want to feel good about ourselves. Embracing self-acceptance plays a pivotal role in our thoughts and mental health. Rather than conforming to societal standards, finding beauty within us, and embracing our individuality can lead to true liberation and a positive impact on our overall well-being.

Estée Lauder is an iconic brand founded by a visionary woman, Mrs. Estée Lauder, who proved anything was possible with hard work, passion, and dedication. Like her, I hope to be a role model for women around the world, inspiring them to believe in themselves and their ability to impact positive change.

Are you excited to be the global brand ambassador of the brand? How will it change the association you had with the brand?
