Indian model and actress Neha Sharma is trying a very trendy beauty and wellness practice for the first time: ice baths. Sharma, 36, shared a video of herself wearing black two-piece workout gear, starting a timer before getting into a one-piece swimsuit and lying down in a bathtub filled with ice water. The verdict? It’s a big hit! “This felt amazing..Thank you for the push guys @siddharth_kotak @aishasharma25 …#icebath #fitnessjourneybegins,” she captioned the post. Here are some other things Sharma does to stay fit, happy, and beautiful.
Sharma does power yoga and functional training, and keeps a straightforward beauty routine. “Basic CTM (cleansing, toning and moisturizing),” she told Times of India. “Clean all traces of makeup before going to bed, drink loads of water, get a good six hours of sleep.”
Sharma fasts until noon every day. “Losing weight and being physically active help lower your risk of obesity-related diseases, such as diabetes, sleep apnea and some types of cancer,” says Manpreet Mundi, MD, tells the Mayo Clinic. “For these diseases, intermittent fasting seems to be about as beneficial as any other type of diet that reduces overall calories.”
Sharma is inspired by her fellow actors. “I always wanted to work with good actors because that’s the end of the day an enriching experience,” she told First Post. “You learn something new about the craft and I always wanted to work with actors with whom I could get to learn something. Nawaz [Siddiqui]is not a gimmicky actor, there are certain things and nuances about him that are very subtle and I have really enjoyed this process of working with him.”
Sharma’s biggest fashion inspiration is Kate Moss. “I don’t follow trends so no fashion fear. I believe comfort is more important than following trends,” she told Times of India. “My style mostly would be classic and effortless but at times it is urban chic. So my wardrobe is an eclectic mix of both: my Dior watch and my Louis Vuitton bags.”
Sharma has 21 million followers on social media. “I don’t know much about it, but I do know that there are a lot of people that have used social media for their own benefit,” she told First Post. “I see so many influencers doing so well for themselves; they are not actors, they have not done any kind of acting. You can now see influencers becoming a part of such big shows and I feel it has definitely worked for them. Sometimes someone with 30-40 million followers gets the role as compared to someone who might be more talented but has only 15 million followers.”
