I prefer showing my natural energy and beauty while keeping my skin healthy. I was getting a lot of requests on my social media asking me how I maintain healthy skin," she said.## "On watching skincare videos by vloggers and make-up artists out there, I realized most of them are pushing fancy and expensive products on to people.

Their secret has been to use natural remedies. I have incorporated their ideology into a skincare routine. Thus, I use a lot of 'ghar ke nuskhe' along with natural and organic products."## "I wanted to promote inexpensive, cruelty-free skincare and encourage people to use as many natural products as possible, especially ingredients from their own kitchen," Amrita said.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, April 6 (IANS) Actress Divinaa Thackur, who features in the web series "Who's Your Daddy", says that budding actors like herself might just face a problem as the film industry is going through a tough time due to the COVID-19 lockdown.## Making her debut with the Kunal Kapoor-starrer Malayalam film "Veeram", the actress appeared in short films, web series and other regional films.## "In my understanding, there will be a change, but not in terms of getting opportunities. Maybe, in terms of pay-cut. Once the market opens, everyone will start shooting, so that they can quickly recover the money. The production houses are facing economical loses and workers who get paid on the field are suffering the most. So, many projects will come up and everyone will get a lot of work. But at the same time, there will be budget constraints and newcomers might get less amount of money," Divinaa told IANS.## "There is no point denying the fact that putting money on new talent is a risk. Since the industry needs faster recovery when the lockdown gets over and things come to normalcy, producers will rely on star power over budding talents. Having said that, I am an optimist. I live in hope. I believe things will be fine," she added.## Divinaa has acted in the short film 'Hickey' directed by Pradeep Sarkar, and was also seen in the Sanjay Dutt-starrer "Prasthanam".## In the Alt Balaji web series "Who's Your Daddy", she plays the character of a young girl named Mehek. The show also features Rahul Dev, Harsh Beniwal, Nikhil Bhambri and Anveshi Jain.## Talking about her upcoming film, she said: " I am acting in a very big Kannada movie titled 'Raymo' directed by Pavan Wadeyar. We were done with 90 percent of the shooting. We were just left with the shooting of two songs, and in the middle of the year, we were planning to release the film. Now, everything is on hold. We were supposed to shoot the song in April. It is really frustrating, but we should not fight reality in any other way but by staying at home. I really want things to be normalized and start rolling."## Stay tuned...
