MUMBAI: Moon Banerrjee, who has been part of shows like Chashme Baddoor, Abhimaan, Ghar Ek Mandir, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Muskaan, Sasural Simar Ka 2 and Doree, says that she loves wearing light colours and fabric in summer. She adds that it’s not possible to experience too much due to the intense heat.
“My wardrobe is always summer ready as its dominated with whites and cottons... Indian weather especially bombay weather one can't experiment much with other fabrics as it's essentially tropical however I do buy some good quality linen and more whites during Summer I am a firm believer of slow fashion so I believe in using the stuff already lying and repeating clothes is more sustainable so I don't indulge much consciously,” she says.
Shooting in the heat can get very tiring. Talking about how she keeps herself hydrated, she says, “My fluid intake increases during Summers and I am always drinking chhaas and nimbu pani, it's my fav beverage. I also make a special summer drink with gond katira and chia seeds. It's a natural coolant. I avoid my regular spicy food and eat simple millet khichdi with basic masala and ghee. If it's an outdoor shoot, then I mostly have nariyal paani and watermelon or musk melon,” she says.
Sharing her summer memories, she says, “I am April-born, so is my mum and now my son; so mostly all the birthdays fall at the peak of summer. Summer is a celebration for us, with lots of mangoes. When we were kids, we would go to Kolkata for our summer vacations. We would travel by train and would looking forward to meeting our extended family like cousins and childhood friends. This was the highlight memories of summer. Now, we try to make short trips as per work commitments in an around for my son's summer vacations.”
