5 bizarre and unusual beauty hacks by B-town divas Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra, and Katrina Kaif
Bollywood celebrities get papped all the time, even during the most casual outings. While some go bare-faced, unfazed by the paparazzi clicks, others strive to maintain their glamorous public image. With hectic schedules and back-to-back shoots, beauty hacks become more of a necessity than just fun makeup tricks.
So, B-town glam queens often rely on on-the-go beauty hacks that help them navigate their busy workdays like true divas. What are these beauty secrets that help them transition smoothly from shoot to shoot, looking flawless? Let's find out!
1. Alia Bhatt
Alia Bhatt is a true beauty maven, looking stunning with or without makeup. The diva often shares beauty tips that her fans adore, including her 'tint instead of foundation' hack. Alia prefers to skip foundation when off-duty, reserving it for movies and ads, and opts for skin tints instead.
She also reveals she's a bit of a mixologist, experimenting by blending products. Alia mixes a lightweight, sheer skin tint with a primer to create a concoction that blends seamlessly and gives her skin a beautiful glow. This technique is part of her sunburnt look routine. She loves keeping her skin natural, proudly showing off her freckles.
2. Sonam Kapoor
Sonam Kapoor, a style icon and beauty connoisseur, prefers authentic products that are accessible and effective. In a recent vlog, she revealed her unique lip prep secret—not what you'd expect.
Before applying her favorite red lipstick combo, the Zoya Factor actress dabs a tiny amount of coconut oil—a staple in every Indian household—on her lips. This helps the lipstick glide on smoothly, bringing out its true color. She also shared that most lip balms tend to dull the lipstick's real shade, affecting its overall vibe.
3. Katrina Kaif
2000s heartthrob and beauty mogul Katrina Kaif has a fun, confident approach to makeup. The Merry Christmas star shared her ultimate on-the-go beauty hack: using a single lipstick not just on her lips, but also on her cheeks and eyes.
Katrina applies an orange lipstick in cross marks on her chin, cheeks, and eyelids, then blends it out to create a flawless, glamorous look. This no-fuss, multi-use beauty trick definitely deserves an award!
4. Priyanka Chopra
The world knows Priyanka Chopra for her killer beauty and effortless glamour. No matter the occasion, Chopra's signature style shines through—even in candid paparazzi shots, her allure is undeniable. While she doesn't always need makeup, she elevates her look with impeccable clothing and flawless makeup.
One of her standout beauty hacks is her lift-and-fill eyebrow technique. Priyanka brushes her brow hairs upward with a spoolie and uses a small, flat brush to apply matte eyebrow powder along the bottom edge, creating a bold, sculpted, and perfectly thick brow that makes a statement every time.
5. Kiara Advani
From dazzling with ultimate wedding glamour to shining at the MET Gala as a mom-to-be, Kiara Advani is truly a fashion and beauty icon. Even before the big red-carpet moments, she shared a clever beauty hack with her fans—a long-lasting lipstick trick passed down from her mom. Kiara applies her favorite matte pink lipstick, then presses a tissue between her lips to blot the excess, and finishes with another swipe for a flawless, enduring finish.

Rana Daggubati On Deepika Padukone's 8-Hour Shift Row: 'Nobody Is Forcing...'
Last Updated: Rana Daggubati addresses Deepika Padukone's Spirit controversy, saying work hours in film vary and are a personal choice, not a forced condition. Deepika Padukone's exit from Spirit, the much-anticipated project by Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, has ignited a wider industry debate on working conditions and contractual expectations within Indian cinema. The new mom reportedly opted out of the Prabhas-starrer over disagreements related to an 8-hour workday clause and profit-sharing demands. While opinions have been sharply divided—especially after Vanga's cryptic but scathing post aimed at the actress—actor Rana Daggubati has stepped in with a more balanced and thought-provoking perspective. Speaking to The Lallantop, Rana offered a nuanced take on the issue of working hours in the Indian film industry, grounding his thoughts in the socio-economic realities of the country. 'We should understand that India is a developing country. We are not a developed nation. Our economy is probably 186th in the world if you look at per capita income," he said. 'In a country that has 1.8 billion people and 70–80 percent of those earn ₹100 a day, when we start seeing things in that light, we realise we have a big place to catch up." For Rana, who hails from the Telugu film industry, work culture isn't just professional—it's personal. 'I come from an industry that moved from Madras. It was a bunch of families and hundreds of others who packed their bags and started over in another city. So to me, it's not work—it's a lifestyle." He went on to emphasize that working conditions vary widely across regional film industries and even across individual projects. 'Like in Maharashtra, it's a 12-hour shift. In Telugu, it's 8 hours. But while Maharashtra starts at 9 am, Telugu starts at 7 am. If you're on location or in a studio, if you're shooting on a set—it all affects the equation. It's never generic," he explained. Addressing concerns around actors being overworked or forced to stay longer on set, Rana was clear: 'Nobody is forcing anybody. It's a job. Just like nobody forces you to do a particular show—it's always a choice. Everyone decides what's important in their life. There are actors who shoot for only 4 hours—that's their system." Earlier, Deepika's decision to walk away from Spirit was met with a public outburst from Sandeep Reddy Vanga. In a fiery post on X, he lashed out without naming her directly. 'There is an unsaid NDA between us. But by doing this, you've 'disclosed' the person that you are," he wrote. He further accused the actress of trying to 'put down a younger actor" and questioned her brand of feminism, adding, 'You didn't get it. You won't get it. You will never get it." First Published:
