What’s the secret behind Shraddha Kapoor’s peaches and cream skin? Or the reason she is one of the fittest actresses in Bollywood today? It is not just about the right make-up or beauty products that 
make Shraddha glow with good health. It is also about making the right choices when it comes to health, fitness, and food. For someone who has always believed in clean eating and wellness, it seems 
natural that she has now put her trust in a brand that she believes, stands for those very values.
The Baaghi actress has become an investor-partner at Shunya, the flagship brand of Naturedge Beverages Pvt. Ltd., by serial entrepreneur Siddhesh Sharma of the Baidyanath legacy. Shraddha, who believes in doing good, living good, and feeling good, believes these values are endorsed by the brand as well. The keyword for her is balance. Just as she has been forging her acting career ahead with memorable roles, she also plans to make a name for herself on the entrepreneurial side. Here’s what our gorgeous cover girl has to say about her latest venture…
It’s the first time you have invested in a brand. Were you looking to invest or was it something that came along and appealed to your entrepreneurial side?
I have been looking for a fruitful investment opportunity for a 
while. When I met Siddhesh and learnt everything about Shunya and its benefits, I instantly knew there is no better way to start my entrepreneurial journey than with Shunya.
Can you tell us a bit more about how Shunya is a brand that resonates with you and how you feel about wellness and health?
I have always been someone who is very health-conscious and at the same time – I don’t deprive my body of all the fun things that it craves for. When I came across Shunya, I realized this is the perfect solution to my guilt-free fizz consumption. While we all know and have heard about the negatives of other fizz drinks – we have not really had an alternate healthy option. Shunya is the perfect solution to guilt-free drinking.
Being an actor is a full-time job. How will you take time out for your entrepreneurial responsibilities? How hands-on are you with Shunya?
Well, Siddhesh and I are a good team and in these virtual times, it is very easy to keep in touch and be updated with everything that is going on.
Which of the two are you fonder of – Shunya Go or Shunya Fizz? Any favourite flavours?
It is difficult to choose between the best, so I’ll just say both! (smiles)
You are one of the fittest actors we have in the industry today. Has clean eating, health , and fitness always been your priority or is it something you have started paying heed to in recent years?
I have always believed that a healthy body leads to a healthy mind. And I have always been someone who watches what I eat. Having said that, I have my cheat days which I balance out very easily in my crazy work schedule. As I mentioned earlier – one should never deprive the body of anything. Eat everything but in moderation.
Do you believe in diets? Have you ever tried any diets and how has that worked for you?
Nope. I just follow the mantra of eating right. Diets are not for me unless I require a specific kind of body for a particular role.
Can you share some of the things you do to keep yourself physically fit – in terms of exercise and food?
I practice yoga and I do a lot of meditation. I also do my weight training twice a week. I start my mornings with fruits and try and avoid carbs after 7pm. I eat multiple small meals throughout the day.
Mental health is spoken about in a big way these days. With your hectic schedules and travels, how do you ensure you get your dose of mental peace and happiness?
Meditation is what keeps me going.
There are so many products available in the market today that are harmful because of the amount of sugar they contain. Do you have a sweet tooth? What do you turn to for your sugar cravings?
Yes, I have a sweet tooth but I try making healthy choices.
Now that you have invested in one brand and clearly seem to be cherishing the experience, would you be keen on exploring other avenues/platforms to invest in?
For sure! The start-ups in India are really booming and it’s a great way to get on the business side of things. This is the best next step in my journey and I’m really looking forward to it.
