Get to know... Sakshi Sindwani
The content creator and model (@SakshiSindwani) loves pizza, her Lady Dior bag, and reminiscing about the time she met Shah Rukh Khan
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.
