No…we are not talking about Christmas and New Year season. We are talking about The Cruel Chennai Summer. While everyone is battling with the inferno, let us see what our stars are doing to beat the heat.
Mumtaj: She keeps herself well hydrated with plenty of water intake. Coconut water is a must for her in this season. She uses iced rosewater for her face because she thinks it is refreshing and rejuvenating.
She says that every season is summer for actors because of the heavy arc lights that they have to work under. It generates tremendous heat that saps their energy and liquids. So she drinks plenty of water on the sets in any time of the year.
Vincent Asokan: He chills out in his A/C camper van (the caravan trailer) on his sets. He says that doing stunt scenes is always difficult in any season. So he keeps an iced wet cloth to keep himself cool.
Prem Sai: He drinks a whopping four-litre supply of water every day during summer months. He avoids spicy food during the shooting and wears cotton shirts and linen trousers to keep cool.
Madhumita: She always wears the sunglasses and uses an umbrella to avoid the sun. She also uses plenty of sunscreen which has good amounts of SPF (sun protection factor).
Shakthi: He drinks plenty of juices everyday, the amounts of which go up during summer. He is locked up mostly in his air-conditioned room during summer. And he says that he loves his health club which is always cool throughout the year.
Padmapriya: She will be in the US beating the heat. But it is not just for a vacation. This talented actress will in Uncle Sam's country for a show and then have an extended stay. Mixing work with pleasure!
And when actors find time from shooting, they plan summer vacations. They go to any cooler vacation spot that would give them reprieve from heat.
You can cool the heat with some cool music from the latest blockbusters. CHILL OUT
