Keeping it cool and staying cheerful: Sony SAB artists reveal their summer essentials

As temperatures soar, Sony SAB artists are embracing the season by staying hydrated, enjoying seasonal treats, and finding simple ways to beat the heat. For them, summer is a time to slow down and cherish what truly matters. Known for its family-friendly storytelling, Sony SAB brings together its actors—Gulki Joshi and Srishty Singh from Yaadein, Muskan Bamne from Pushpa Impossible, and Sumbul Touqeer Khan and Rajat Sharma from Itti Si Khushi—as they share their go-to summer essentials and personal favourites, offering a glimpse into how they keep things cool, comfortable, and joyful during the season.

Gulki Joshi, playing the role of Dr. Srishti in Yaadein shared, “Summers for me are about balance, taking care of yourself while still enjoying the season. I never skip sunscreen and try to include light skincare that keeps my skin fresh without feeling heavy. Staying hydrated is very important, so I keep alternating between water, coconut water, and sometimes even iced tea. And whenever I get time, I enjoy simple comforts like curd-based dishes or fresh fruits, they really help you feel light and energised.”

Srishti Singh, playing the role of Dr. Vaani in Yaadein shared, “I like keeping my summer routine very easy and breathable. Comfortable outfits, a good SPF lip balm, and a hydrating face mist are always in my bag. I also make it a point to drink a lot of water and fresh juices throughout the day. And honestly, coming back home and switching on the fan or AC with some chilled lemonade in hand is the best feeling after a long day.”

Muskan Bamne, playing the role of Shanaya Mehta in Pushpa Impossible shared, “Summers instantly remind me of aamras, chilled nimbu paani, and spending relaxed afternoons with family. One thing I can’t do without is a good sunscreen because taking care of your skin in this heat is so important. I also always carry a water bottle with me to stay hydrated, especially during shoots. And honestly, nothing beats coming home to a glass of cold buttermilk after a long day, it’s simple but so refreshing.”

Sumbul Touqeer Khan, playing the role of Anvita in Itti Si Khushi shared, “For me, summer is about comfort. Loose cotton clothes are a must because they make such a difference in this weather. “I always keep a rose water spray handy; it instantly freshens me up during long shooting hours. And of course, ice cream is non-negotiable! Whether it’s a quick break on set or just unwinding at home, those little indulgences make the season feel lighter and happier.”

Rajat Verma, playing the role of Virat in Itti Si Khushi shared, “I think staying cool and energized is the key to getting through summer. I always make sure I have sunglasses and a cap when I’m outdoors, it really helps with the heat. Coconut water is something I swear by - it keeps you hydrated and fresh throughout the day. And whenever I get time, I enjoy having chilled fruits like watermelon, it’s healthy and perfect for this season.”
