For Indian television actor Helly Shah, acting is the passion that makes her happy. In her words, acting is a very creative field, where one gets to work on characters, craft, and emotions. In a quick chat with TMM, Helly, who is known for her portrayal of Swara Maheshwari in Swaragini and Devanshi Bakshi in Devanshi divulges her lifestyle and favourites.
What makes acting the most exciting profession for you?
Acting is my passion. Acting is something that makes me happy. So automatically, it becomes exciting for me. Also, it’s a very creative field, where you get to work on your character, craft, different thought processes and you get to feel so many emotions, so it gets really interesting.
If not an actor, what else you would have been doing professionally, and why?
I think I was supposed to be an actor, but if not an actor, then maybe a doctor or an interior designer. Doctor, because I was very much inclined towards biology during school days. And maybe an interior designer, as art and craft always excites me. During the lockdown, I somehow started thinking that interior design is something I really like to do.
If you have been a fashionable outfit, what it would be and why?
I think I would be a really nice ruffle backless jumpsuit. Ruffle because it just adds so much glamour to the whole outfit, and in a way, it gives a little cuteness also. And to give it a sexy touch, I’d like to be backless. Also, it’s a very comfortable outfit, and I like my outfits that way.
Your personal style statement.
It’s very simple and comfy. It is something that is very important for me on a day to day basis.
How do you create a work-life balance?
I am blessed with this skill, where I know to manage my time and other things. So it becomes easier for me to manage my work and personal space too.
Favourite fashion trend.
Though there might be a lot of things, the trend of white sneakers, that is one of my favorites & I really like it!
One fashion trend you can’t stand.
I think it will be the cat-eye sunglasses that have been a trend for a while now. And I think I am anyways not into sunglasses. So, even if they are those oversized sunglasses or really tiny ones like cat eyes, I don’t really get it.
Favourite fashion brand.
I don’t really stick to a particular brand, but if I had to name one or two, they would be H&M and Zara.
Favourite watch and accessory.
There is nothing favorite as such, but I make sure that my watch matches my outfit. I am not an accessory person, but hoops are something I really enjoy.
What is your skincare routine?
I have a very basic routine, wherein the morning before applying makeup, I apply moisturizer and a thick layer of eye cream. And at night, after cleansing and removing my makeup properly, I apply moisturizer. After that, a thick layer of eye cream is a must for me. And I believe it is good to follow a simple skincare routine that suits your skin.
Favourite fashion destination.
I want to go to Italy and Paris and witness all those beautiful fashion trends and other fashionable things over there.
