Being a working mother can itself be quite a daunting task, and being one in the limelight can be more arduous. But if there is something can that can keep your spirits lifted, then you must include it in your daily routine, or so proves actor, writer, entrepreneur and mum, Shilpa Shetty Kundra.
Although a majority of her work requires this yummy-mummy to play dress-up, she prefers to keep it simple. "When I am at home, I slip into my t-shirt and track pants — anything that makes it easy to run around with my son," she recently stated in an interview to a leading daily.
But off-late the svelte mum to four-year-old Viaan Raj Kundra has been silencing fashion critics with her sartorial choices, thanks to her stint on the popular television show India's Super Dancer. And it seems this is keeping her happy and her spirits lifted.
Talking about her chic style this 41-year-old mum says, "Style has different meaning for different people. I feel it is personal and innate. It has to be trendsetting and not a trend that is blindly followed."
No wonder then she is trying new styles and designs on the show. Take for instance this pristine white Gaurav Gupta ensemble, which she recently wore and needless to say, she slayed it with her confidence and that gorgeous smile.
But this is not how she usually prefers to dress up, even if it is to a party. For most parties, she prefers a particular look and we bet most working mums would also go for it.
But what does she do to keep that healthy and glowing skin? She spills the beans.

Just like any other working mothers who may come back home tired, Shilpa's work also requires her to slog for several hours, albeit in front of the camera. No wonder then she prefers something comfortable when she goes out, even if it is to parties.
"I choose my clothes depending on what kind of an occasion it is. For parties, I generally prefer dresses or a formal top paired with well fitted black pants," she shares.
As for accessories she says, "I decide on my accessories once I have made up my mind about the clothes that I want to wear. It should match with my outfit. But I like to keep it simple. So, most of the time, you will see me only in my solitaires and finger ring."
But how does she get that glow?
Shilpa's beauty secret
Well, if you thought it's just great food, think again. Shilpa follows a special skincare routine and stays away from this one very common thing, which we all use daily!
"One beauty advice that I religiously follow is to never use soap on my face. I use a gentle cleanser and a good sunscreen for glowing skin. I always apply a deep conditioner to my hair every time I wash it," she reveals.
Advice to all working mums
She is also considered an icon among working mums, thanks to her disciplined lifestyle and positive approach. But there is one advice which is above and beyond this that she was more than willing to share.
"Dress to please yourself, not the world. And choose occasion-appropriate clothes. I have made many fashion faux pas but my worst nightmare would be the zipper giving away just before you walk the red carpet!," she says.
