Get to know... Sakshi Sindwani

Currently I am

Low-key hibernating after the Grammys, Harvard, Jaipur with Jean Paul Gaultier, a surgery, and a bunch of awards. Gearing up for the madness ahead.

On my playlist

Shiv Kailash, by Rishab Rikhiram Sharma; Nice To Each Other, by Olivia Dean; Carry On, by Jungle.

On my speed dial

My entire team. No joke.

Today I’m craving

Pizza! I’ve been craving it for two months.

Next big splurge

Okay, last splurge first. I got myself a post-surgery gift: A limited-edition, hand-embroidered Lady Dior bag. Very bougie. Next one? A trip to Spain.

Last thing I ordered online

A smoothie blender from Amazon.

One thing I would never buy

Skin lightening or bleaching creams.

App I check before going to bed

Duolingo. For Spanish.

Advice I’d give my 18-year-old self

Hold tight and keep that hustle real. I’d just tell her to ignore the noise.

A secret skill I have

I can cook really good food.

A magic tool I wish I had

More than 24 hours in a day. There’s just too much to do.

My favourite Sunday memory while growing up

Classic West-Delhi vibes in Rajouri Garden. Huge family lunches at my Nani’s house, chilling on the terrace with chaat, and heading to the sports complex to play badminton or watch my dad play at a pro level.

My favourite subject in school

Science.

My most star-struck moment so far

Meeting SRK. He hugged me, kissed my hand. I didn’t want to wash my hands after.

My favourite bad habit

Picking a fight for no reason. It’s bad… but kinda fun.

If I could travel back or forward in time, I’d…

Go back. I’ve been such a workaholic that I didn’t fully “live” my youth. I’m only 30, but I’d love to go back and tell myself to let go and enjoy the ride a bit more.

A trait I despise in people

Fake energy. People who lie or pretend to be someone they’re not.

I won’t leave the house without…

My phone and a solid lip-balm or gloss.

The best thing about fame

The platform. I get to create art, dive into cinematography and production, and have a real audience that grows with me. It’s the ultimate creative freedom.

The worst thing about fame

You can’t really switch off. Even when you take a break, your mind’s always on overdrive. Always thinking, always a little anxious.
