Pampering Session at VLCC

Who does not like a good pampering session! Talk about facials, mani's and paddi's and I am always up for it! Recently VLCC invited a few bloggers for a beauty talk over tea where we got answers to our skincare problems but also got to try out few of VLCC's services.

I like it when a brand takes it as its duty to not only provide customers with the best of services but also explain the process in detail. VLCC experts with their expertise go into the detail of the skincare issue before suggesting any kind of Beauty Treatment. While I was there discussing all these interesting into beauty techniques, I got to know that they offer some most advanced treatments like Vampire Facelift, Derma Heal Eye Treatment and Visionergy along with all salon services. As I had just landed back from GOA, all I wanted was a pedicure and foot massage, and that is exactly what I went for! Extremely clean equipment's and good quality products used for my pedicure and massage oils that smelled like heaven made my stress vanish in seconds.

I am a sucker for massages and after all these spa sessions, I can safely say that I can differentiate between an ok and a good massage.

Foot massage at VLCC was the masseuse knew all the pressure points well, wish the massage went on forever! While I am extremely satisfied with pedicure and foot massage, now I have my eyes set on the famous Vampire Facial. It’s good to see how people at VLCC are so passionate, informed and always ready to serve customers! If you haven't already, do try Salon services and beauty treatments at VLCC!

This Lady Was Once an Actress and Now Is a Successful Businesswoman; Shares Her Secrets

Q You started off as an actress, but soon after your marriage with businessman Raj Kundra, we saw you venturing out in a lot of businesses. What caused the sudden shift of interest as today more than movies we see you delving into commerce?

Woh kehte hai na ‘sangat ka asar Hai’ (laughs). Well frankly it was Raj who opened my eyes and so I have to give him full credit for what I am today. He saw me endorse a lot of other brands and made me understand that instead of promoting other brands, why not come up with my own brands! This is when I thought about coming up with something of my own. So, for my first project I took to exploring my ‘love’, which for fitness and that is how I launched the yoga DVD (in 2008). After getting some confidence I delved into wellness and launched IOS is Spa from here on there was no looking back and I enjoyed the journey as a businesswoman.

If we talk about something more recent, I launched my own channel online (The Shilpa Shetty.com). In this day and age, I feel people have no time to buy DVDs or watch TV. The audience needs everything at a click of a button and on the phones, which is why I took to exploring the digital medium. Here, I have gone beyond yoga and I am concentrating on health as a whole.

Q How are women when it comes to numbers and finance?

Terrible! (Laughs) I don’t know about others, but I am really bad at it. My dad (Surendra Shetty) used to handle all the finances for me. After his death, it’s all suddenly thrust upon me. I am taking time to learn as I realized that I have to become a little more street smart and have to learn to do things on my own.

Q You have been an inspiration to many, name the women entrepreneurs who inspire you?

Vandana Luthra (founder of VLCC Health Club), I feel she’s a torch bearer. Kiran Shaw (chairman and managing director of Biocon Limited) she is brilliant. Even Shahnaz Husain (CEO of Shahnaz Herbals Inc.) I feel Shahnaz has really made an empire for herself and that too way before ‘women’ could even think of doing something as big as what she ventured into. Basically, I like women who are trend setters and do things before time.

Q Do you think actresses of the current generation are sharper and bolder as compared to the earlier generations? From exploring various ventures, to turning producers and even making a mark in Hollywood, they are going all out!

I think it’s a welcome change. Heroines today are no longer relegated to doing just song and dance in movies. Cinema is really coming of age. And it’s wonderful to see women now commanding as much as their male counterparts if not more than them at times (in terms of fees).

Q Times have changed in Bollywood for women, yet actresses are facing issues like the ‘gender pay gap’. You have been a film producer; how can the problem be curbed?

I made some mistakes in my life and film production was one of them (laughs). Frankly speaking, you can’t only look at one side and forget all the good stuff that is happening. It’s not about being man or a woman, but about making the right choices. Look at me, I must say, today I am making more money than what I made in my entire life. Look at Anushka (Sharma) or Deepika (Padukone), they are making much more money than all of us (actresses of her generation) put together in our times and it is because of the choices that they are making. Even Priyanka (Chopra) for that matter, I am sure she’s making much more than her male counterparts. But in the end, I feel that money and success is just subjective, it is all about the ‘happiness’ that you get from what you do.
