Cosmo: Are you big on skincare? Manushi Chhillar: "Growing up, I had a very basic routine, and it has more or less stayed that way. However, I have learned that your skincare needs to change with time, and you should understand your skin in order to create a suitable routine. Growing up in Delhi, we had different products designated for different seasons, and my mother helped me choose the right cleansers and moisturisers. She also ensured that I never left home without applying sunscreen. I followed her advice for years, and, over time, added more products as per my skin's needs."
C: The beauty industry has changed tremendously over the past few years. Tell us how your definition of beauty has evolved.
MC: "My idea of beauty has been ever-evolving. But if I were to look back at the past 25 years, the common quality in every individual that I found beautiful was that they were extremely confident about themselves and that's what beauty means to me. I have always admired people who are unapologetically themselves."
