Pallavi Chatterjee Shares Summer Survival Tips, Calls Mindset Key to Beating the Heat

Mumbai: Actress-writer-producer Pallavi Chatterjee, who was last seen in Khakee: The Bengal Chapter, believes that staying calm and mindful is just as important as physical measures when it comes to dealing with rising temperatures. Sharing her personal approach to summer wellness, she says, “Light meals are a must for me during this season. I rely on bel sharbat, chaas, curd, and fresh fruits as part of my daily diet to stay hydrated and energized.”
Talking about her routine, she adds, “Swimming is my go-to activity in the summer. It helps me cool down and also keeps me active without feeling exhausted in the heat.” Traditional Indian drinks continue to be her biggest saviours during extreme weather. “Bel ka sharbat and chaas are my absolute favourites. They are refreshing and naturally help the body cope with the heat,” she shares.
While many struggle with rising temperatures, Pallavi emphasizes the importance of mindset. “Honestly, it’s a state of mind. If you keep getting irritated with the heat, it becomes even more difficult to handle. I prefer staying indoors and avoiding unnecessary outdoor exposure, and that really helps,” she explains.

Reflecting on changing climate patterns, she expresses concern, “Yes, summers have definitely become harsher over the years. The weather has drastically changed, and it’s all because of global warming.” She also reacts strongly to unusual weather patterns across regions. “It’s really sad to see places like Himachal Pradesh and Kashmir experiencing unexpected snowfall. We are all partially to blame for this. We cannot keep abusing nature or Mother Earth,” she says.
Highlighting the role individuals can play, Pallavi urges conscious living. “We can start by saying no to plastic and avoiding littering. Planting more trees, reducing pollution by adopting electric vehicles, and using solar energy are important steps. Even maintaining gardens in our societies, feeding birds, and taking care of animals can make a difference,” she notes.
She also raises concern about changing food habits, adding, “Above all, we should say no to excessive packaged food. The next generation is growing up on them, and they have little to no nutritional value.”
