Bathing is truly comforting after a long day, says Sara Ali Khan

Bathing, much like using emojis, is an expressive and rejuvenating experience. Just as emojis allow you to convey your emotions and personality in a fun and creative way, a refreshing bath gives you a chance to cleanse your mind and body and start anew. Both activities offer a form of self-expression and a way to connect with your feelings, bringing joy and renewal to your daily routine.

Both activities offer a form of self-expression and a way to connect with your feelings, bringing joy and renewal to your daily routine. Here's how you can make your morning shower just as rejuvenating as your go-to virtual expressions:
Morning Sunshine
Take a shower that feels like a burst of freshness to start the day. As uplifting as the smiling sun emoji, warm water and invigorating aromas can help you feel good about the coming day.
Wave of Relaxation
Imagine entering a shower where a waterfall surrounds you, instantly relieving you from the day's stress. You may feel as peaceful and at ease as the rolling waves emoji gives you a sense of tranquillity and peace.
Burst of Citrus
Incorporate energizing fragrances into your shower routine, such as Bergamot and Yuzu. Citrus fragrances are zesty and energizing, which wakes up your senses and makes you feel truly good.
Speaking on incorporating energizing fragrances into your shower routine, Fiama Brand Ambassador Sara Ali Khan says, “There's something truly comforting about indulging in a warm bath after a long, hectic day. I usually add a few drops of my favourite shower gel to my bathwater to refresh, rejuvenate and moisturize my skin. Bathing essentials which include natural ingredients that do not hamper my skin's texture are my go-to, like the Fiama Happy Naturals Yuzu and Bergamot shower gel which is made up of 97% natural origin content & skin conditioners like the Fiama Happy Naturals Yuzu and Bergamot shower gel which is made up of 97% natural origin content & skin conditioners that leave my skin shiny, glowy and hydrated.”
Luxurious Soak
The ultimate in self-care and relaxation is offered by the wonderful, peaceful experience. This bath practice not only improves your bathing experience but also looks after your general hygiene, leaving you feeling restored and relaxed & ready to face the world.
Squeaky Clean
Your skin might feel wonderfully cleansed and nourished after using a good quality gel bar. The soap emoji comes to mind when you think of that clean, freshly shaven feeling that gives you the confidence to face the world.
Bathing should be an experience that refreshes and rejuvenates you, much like your favourite emojis that brighten your messages.

Sukhada Khandkekar on the challenges while shooting in the Monsoon

Sukhada Khandkekar, who is seen as Saraswati in Prateek Sharma and Parth Shah’s "Pukaar: Dil Se Dil Tak," produced under their banner, LSD Studios, is a monsoon lover. She also mentioned that she understands the struggles with traffic jams, especially in cities like Mumbai, but the whole cast and crew of the show enjoy the time they spend together.“Monsoon is my favorite season, and when I say that, I know about traffic jams and that there cannot be any management of time and timing, especially in Mumbai. In metropolitan cities, it becomes difficult when you get stuck in traffic, especially when you are working for a television show, which means that you need to travel every day to the set,” she said.
“Our set is in Naigaon, and when the traffic increases, it gets crazy. We had times when there was a traffic jam for the entire cast, and it took us four and a half hours to reach the set. Then, after reaching there, we have to complete that day's work. That becomes a responsibility for the entire unit,” she added. Despite the challenges, they make it a point to enjoy the day while finishing their work. “What I love the most during this time is how we work as a team. So everybody focuses; everyone should do it together. There is no dearth of fun and laughter in this. There is no lack of tea and vada pav sessions in this. We eat popcorn, we have fun and joke, and at the same time, the work is also completed very productively because of an amazing team and our director Prateek Shah," she said.
“This is a very amazing phase when every morning you wake up and feel that today you don't know how much time it will take to reach the set or what work will be completed, but you still get into that excitement,” she added.So what do you like to do during your free time on the set? “We like to sing a lot, so Rajeshwari (Sumukhi Pendse), Digvijay (Vimarsh Roshan), Sagar (Abhishek Nigam), and I, everybody likes to sing. Sometimes we are sitting like this in the middle of the shoot; some lighting is happening, something is happening, and someone starts singing a song, and everybody joins in. The vibe is like 'pyaar humein kis mod pe le aaya..' And we just sing without being ashamed of whether we are singing in tune or not. So we do have a singing session. And it feels quite funnily romantic because it is raining outside and you are singing songs inside. There is a cup of tea in hand,” she ended.
