Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani Actress Megha Ray Shares Simple Summer Hydration Secrets to Stay Fresh on Set

Mumbai: When the scorching sun refuses to slow down, staying fresh and energized becomes a daily challenge especially for actors who spend long hours shooting under heavy lights. But for Megha Ray, who plays Divya in Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani, beating the heat is all about simple, mindful habits rooted in everyday wisdom.
Speaking about how she keeps herself hydrated, Megha Ray shared, “I mean, it sounds cliché because everyone says “drink a lot of water,” but it really helps keep your system strong. For me, water is non-negotiable. I always try to carry my own water bottle on set. My mom has always told me not to drink too much water from plastic bottles, so I carry a copper or steel bottle instead. It’s a bit old-school, like how water was stored in earlier times, but it keeps the water cool and is believed to have added benefits.
She further added, “Apart from that, I carry small bottles of buttermilk, coconut water, or sometimes something different every day. It really helps and makes me feel refreshed, especially since shooting daily soaps for 12 hours can be exhausting. Having juices here and there also makes you feel more rejuvenated. Drinks like lemon water are your best friends in summer. These things work well for me.”
She also said, “I also fast sometimes, like I did during Navratri recently. I think there is a lot of food science behind fasting during seasonal changes. When the weather changes, our diet also changes, and the body needs time to adapt. I noticed a big difference in myself after the nine-day fast—my body temperature felt cooler, I felt stronger, and I had great energy levels. I truly believe that you are what you eat.”
