Shubhangi Atre, Adrija Roy and Neha Harsora Share Summer Hacks and Climate Concerns

Mumbai: With summers getting harsher each year, actors are not just adapting their routines but also reflecting on the bigger picture—climate change. From simple cooling habits to conscious living, they share how small steps can make a meaningful difference.

Managing extreme heat requires constant hydration through natural coolers like coconut water, watermelon, and sattu mixed with cumin and lemon. Traditional wisdom, such as carrying an onion to prevent heatstroke and wearing skin-friendly fabrics, remains essential as temperatures frequently cross 40°C. However, the drastic shifts in climate and rising global warming are deeply concerning, signaling an urgent need to stop polluting rivers and cutting trees. To protect future generations, every citizen must take responsibility by planting trees and reducing plastic waste. Ultimately, our survival depends on moving from awareness to action to keep Mother Earth green and restore ecological balance.

I manages the intensifying summer heat by prioritizing my body’s needs, focusing on simple home-cooked meals, consistent hydration with water, and traditional drinks like chaas and nimbu paani. Recognizing that I doesn’t function well in extreme temperatures, I have adapted my routine to slow down, finishing important work early to avoid the draining afternoon sun. I notes that modern summers feel “heavier” and more tiring than in the past, viewing erratic weather patterns as a “scary” sign of climate change. I advocates for individual responsibility, emphasizing that small, mindful actions like reducing plastic use and conserving water are crucial steps toward addressing this growing environmental imbalance.

To manage 35 degree heat and high humidity, the focus is on light, cooling nutrition specifically coconut water, curd, and watermelon paired with traditional “desi” coolers like chaas and aam panna. A summer routine involves working out early to avoid the peak sun, opting for breezy linen or cotton fabrics, and using simple home cooling techniques like drawing curtains and adding balcony greenery. The lengthening and intensifying summer seasons, alongside surreal events like unseasonal snowfall, are clear markers that climate change is an immediate reality rather than a future threat. Addressing this requires a collective shift toward sustainability, where individual choices like reducing plastic and conserving energy set the trends needed to protect our planet.
