While the rest of us are looking at ways to hide that wrinkle and conceal that fine line, there are some who do not really need to worry about these things as they are ageing gracefully. Not just that, even now they look much younger than their age all thanks to their healthy lifestyle. We reveal how these stars age so well.
Rekha
This diva is simply ageless. She still looks like a million dollars even at 60. Her style statement is unique with her bold red lips and silk sarees and she is perhaps the only one who can carry it off with such elan.
Her secret: Though Rekha does not reveal much about herself, she said in an interview that her beauty ritual is very simple and what she’s learnt from her mother such as oiling her hair, using shikakai, home-made packs of curd, honey and egg white and most of all, being a positive person. She also loves to meditate and does not use too many products, just a cleanser, moisturiser and lipstick are enough for her.
Amitabh Bachchan
Big B gets better with age and can give the young guns a run for their money. At 79, he stands tall and is quite fit for his age.
His secret: His graceful ageing has a lot to do with his healthy lifestyle such as eating on time, not having alcohol and following a fitness routine. All these have given him the strength to keep going while looking dapper and charming as ever.
Madhuri Dixit
She has a dazzling smile which is perhaps one of the reasons you still can’t take your eyes off her. Madhuri is inching close to 50 but she can easily pass off as someone half her age even now.
Her secret: She’s an avid dancer who incorporates it in her fitness routine as well. Madhuri is also very particular about what she eats and makes sure she has a balanced diet. Her beauty regimen is simple but she follows it religiously twice a day. Read what she does here.
Anil Kapoor
Anil Kapoor is one actor who doesn’t think he can ever age and often counts himself as part of the younger lot. He may be 58 but certainly doesn’t look his age at all, definitely not the father of three grown-ups.
His secret: His youthfulness can be attributed to his fit ways of life. Anil works out six times a week that includes cycling. He loves it so much that he even cycled to his film shoots despite owning luxury cars. Anil also keeps a close tab on what he eats and does not drink alcohol.
Hema Malini
The ‘Dreamgirl’ of Bollywood, Hema Malini looks stunning even at 66. She gives stiff competition to not just her contemporaries but also actresses much younger than her including her own daughters.
Her secret: Hema loves to keep her skin make-up free and relies on the benefits of natural ingredients such as tulsi, amla, neem. Her dance routine keeps her body toned and fit and she ensures she eats healthy to support her workout. Read more here.
