Munjya actor Sharvari is carving a niche with her bold film choices while remaining equally mindful of her lifestyle. From her diet and fitness regimen to skincare, fashion, and tackling the pressures of social media, the 27-year-old balances it all with grace.
How does she do it? “I grew up in the age of social media—it was prevalent even when I was in school—so I don’t take that kind of pressure,” Sharvari said in an exclusive chat with indianexpress.com. “I believe taking everything with a pinch of salt is important. This year has been especially gratifying, with some incredible releases and performances that were appreciated by both audiences and critics. I’m focusing on the positives and not ignoring the trolls,” she said.
The actor, known for her vivacious personality, spills the secrets about her lifestyle choices beyond the mundane in a freewheeling Q&A. Read the edited excerpts below.
If not an actor, what career would you have pursued?
What does fashion mean to you?
Sharvari: For me, fashion is a form of self-expression and how I feel about that day and myself. So, when I have a bright smile, I’m comfortable and happy.
What’s your idea of a fashionable date night?
Sharvari: A perfect date night involves dressing up in my finest attire and enjoying a delicious dinner. For me, a date night can also be with your girlfriends. I’ve had some amazing date nights with my girls where we’ve all glammed up in heels and makeup, indulged in delicious food, and had wonderful conversations.
Tell us about becoming the face of the campaign for Miraggio?
Sharvari: Becoming the face of Miraggio for their upcoming A/W 24 collection is exciting. I’ve always admired how Miraggio strikes the perfect balance between elegance and functionality, making accessories that are not only stylish but also incredibly versatile. I love how Miraggio’s designs are bold and iconic, just like the women they are created for. The new collection celebrates women who aim for more and never settle for anything less, just like I do. I’m thrilled to collaborate with Miraggio and bring this new collection to life.
What’s your skincare DIY remedies?
Sharvari: I have sensitive skin, so my DIY skincare isn’t about applying anything new. Instead, I blend a mix of green leafy vegetables along with tulsi, amla, neem, and spinach, and have it.
Sharvari: Yes, I follow a skincare routine prescribed by my dermatologist. I make sure to wash my face daily, apply moisturiser, and never forget sunscreen. At night, I remove all makeup, and I never sleep with my makeup on. After cleansing my face, I apply a night cream and if I have acne, pimples, or zits, I use a spot treatment.
Q. What is your diet like?
Sharvari: My diet is usually tailored to the specific needs of the film I’m working on. For Alpha, I’m following a four-meal-a-day plan that focuses on portion control and calorie counting. It’s high in protein to support the intense workout and action training I’m undergoing.
Q. What’s your cheat meal or cheat day like?
Sharvari: I love McDonald’s “Happy Meals,” which have an apt name. They consist of burgers, fries, and a beverage on the side.
Q. What’s your go-to fitness routine and why?
Sharvari: My fitness routine includes functional training, cardio, and weightlifting. I train six days a week at Tribe with my trainer Robin Behl and I follow his guidance closely.
Q. What do you do when you are not in the mood to work out?
Sharvari: 90 per cent of the time, if I’m not in the mood to work out, I push myself and tell myself it is important. That usually puts me in a good mood. For me, exercise is a great mood booster, it uplifts my energy. The other 10 per cent? I treat myself to a cheat meal.
Q. Are you a morning person or a night owl?
Sharvari: I’m not a morning person by nature, but my work schedule forces me to be. I love sleeping in late, but it really depends on my commitments for the day. If I’m planning a workout, I prefer to do it in the morning.
Q. What do you do to unwind?
Sharvari: I come home, switch on the television, binge-watch some comedy or chick flick, and just sit on my sofa with Miso, my dog. I just lie down in my hall and chill with her. That is how I unwind.
