Quick byte: Taapsee Pannu, girl on the go

If you ever bump into actor Taapsee Pannu on a vacation, you would find her in a comfortable-chic avatar. Last time, she was spotted in Europe.

You recently were on a vacation. Where did you take off to?

I went to Rome with my sister Shagun, explored the architectural beauty of the Colosseum and experienced the charm of the Trevi fountain.

What did you think of the street style there?

It’s so chic. Women are clad in beautiful dresses. Colour palette comprises pastel and muted tones. It’s different from what we see in India.

How does your vacation wardrobe look like?

Apart from my comfortable clothes — tees and shorts — I always pack a nice dress for dinner at a local restaurant. I also accessorise, teaming my clothes with necklaces and earrings. For my Rome trip, I bought clothes and accessories from Koovs.com from its summer 2018 collection. I always pack a comfortable pair of shoes and sunglasses. I never leave my hotel room without my moisturiser and sunscreen on.

And then there are gadgets that always keep with me that help me navigate around the city I am travelling to.

Your style sense is always on point, both onscreen and off it. How much role do you play in styling your character?

My personal style is about being comfortable. I believe that if you wear something you are comfortable in, your body language is more confident, and your style channelizes your inner energy. Hats off to those who can manage to wear heels so often. I can’t even manage to wear them at work! I wonder how much effort it takes. In films, I am open to be styled according to the script and the character that I am playing.

You are always on the move. What’s your beauty regime like?

I I think outer beauty depends on what you eat and how much you sleep. I make sure that I drink a lot of water and keep myself well hydrated. And the fact that I don’t smoke or drink makes it better.

Honestly, I have been gifted with a decent skin, thanks to my genes. I should thank my parents.

And what about your fitness routine, especially while travelling?

I have to literally drag myself to a gym when I am travelling. I love taking up a sport to keep fit such as squash.
