Tabu: I believe that you need to enjoy a healthy and happy lifestyle

Actress Tabu recently spoke to a leading media agency and stated that she thinks confidence comes from having great skin. "Fortunately, and unfortunately for my profession, I don't have a choice but to be camera-ready and for that, I think confidence comes from having great skin and that comes from a combination of things. My mother put a lot of importance on us eating right as kids," she said.

"She made sure we ate plenty of fruits and greens. Now, I ensure that I follow the most important steps for skincare which includes eating healthy, staying hydrated, exercising regularly and most importantly, moisturisation," the actress said.

When asked if she thinks that lifestyle and diet are important when it comes to having great skin, the actress said, "I believe that you need to enjoy a healthy and happy lifestyle and for this, food and sleeping habits play a very important role. Drinking enough water or fluids and eating right is important to take care of your skin and health." She concluded, "I exercise regularly and particularly enjoy long walks and meditation to maintain a positive attitude, I do not believe in fad diets, they do not help you in the long term and cause more harm than good when undertaken without the right guidance."
