Sara Ali Khan’s latest movie ‘Love Aaj Kal 2’, where she pairs opposite Kartik Aryan is slated for a release today, February 14- Valentine’s Day.

The sizzling 25-year-old starlet has enthralled everyone with her witty personality, undeniable confidence and down-to-earth perspective on life. Sara’s journey from being flab to fit has been a truly inspiring one. And to top it off, her commendable performance in her first two films and sartorial choices have set her apart from most star kids of her generation.

Although she is blessed with gorgeous skin and looks, her journey to become an actress was not a cakewalk at all. Having diagnosed with PCOS at a young age, a hormonal disorder that causes weight gain, excessive hair growth, irregular periods, and even infertility, Sara weighed a whopping 96 kgs and struggled hard to lose weight. But her undying passion for acting and becoming an actress inspired her to shed off those extra kilos and become healthy.

Opening up about a health complication that not many women have the courage to share on national television, she has garnered a lot of praise and made a special place in the hearts of millions.

Skin Care:

Instead of smothering her face with tons of beauty creams, she prefers putting leftover fruits from her breakfast palate as a fruit mask. She even likes to use almond paste and honey as it scrubs away dead skin cells and gives way to glowing rejuvenated skin. She enjoys sipping on tender coconut water and coffee to stay hydrated throughout the day and never misses on her 8-hour beauty sleep.

Hair Care:

The fashion diva maintains her beautiful lustrous tresses by a simple hair care routine. Although one might repel away due to the signature strong smell, Sara swears by the use of onion juice and onion oil for her voluminous locks. Onion owing to its strong antibacterial properties, prevents the growth of lice and dandruff on the scalp and promotes hair growth and bestows a shiny texture to it.
