With the heat becoming increasingly unbearable each year, Anupamaa actress Adrija Roy keeps her summer survival strategy refreshingly simple. For her, it is less about trendy hacks and more about tuning into what her body truly requires.
Listening to Her Body
Speaking about her approach, Adrija shares, "I have realized that I really do not function well in extreme heat. So now, I do not try to do too much. I stick to simple ghar ka khana, eat plenty of fruits, and just keep drinking water throughout the day, even if I am not feeling thirsty."
Over time, she has stopped forcing herself to maintain the same routine across all seasons. "Earlier, I would just push through, but now I understand that summers are different. You have to slow down a little," she explains.
Adapting Her Daily Routine
Her daily schedule has also evolved. "I try to finish my important work early in the day. Afternoons are just too draining. And honestly, even taking a few quiet minutes in between helps a lot," she adds.
Simple Food and Drink Choices
When it comes to what she eats or drinks, Adrija prefers basic, homemade options. "I like simple things like chaas or nimbu paani at home. It just feels right. It cools you down and also gives that comfort," she says.
Changing Climate Concerns
Adrija also feels that the heat today is very different from what it used to be. "Summers were always hot, but now it feels heavier, more tiring. Even nights do not feel like a break anymore."
Discussing climate change, she remarks, "It is a little scary, honestly. When you see such random weather changes, it does not feel normal. It feels like something is off."
Individual Responsibility
She believes that change must start with individuals. "We cannot control everything, but we can at least be more careful. Not wasting water, using less plastic. Small things matter more than we think."
For Adrija, it all comes down to being a little more aware of yourself and of the world around you.
