For most of us, lockdown has been about slipping into our jammies and sipping on some hot cocoa. When we’re not busy working, a pair of pajamas and a loose t-shirt would be our go-to outfit. During these hot summer months, most of us would just like to lie around in loose fit cotton clothing and relax. Celebrities like Kareena Kapoor are also spotted in loose kurtis and other simple, summer-friendly clothing. A kaftan advocate, Kareena has managed to convince even the most gym outfit loving of her friends, Malaika Arora, to switch to wearing the loose-fitting garment. Being under house arrest has ensured that most of us have switched to wearing this interesting piece of clothing. We can rock these cozy, comfy outfits all day without the worry of being judged.

Nobody Does It Like Malaika
Most of us were introduced to Malaika Arora as the lady dancer in the song Chaiyya Chaiyya. The gorgeous diva was a much-loved model and rising star back in those days. Although it has been decades since that song came out, she very much retains her everlasting, youthful glow and toned figure. Despite being the mother of a grown up son, Malaika manages to keep herself looking fit and trim. She attributes her figure to all the hard work she puts in at the gym. So you’ve probably guessed that this gym lover lives for her workout clothes and fancy leggings.
However, as the temperatures rise, Miss Malaika too is taking a few cues from her close buddy, Kareena, and slipping into an article of looser and comfier clothing. Malaika shared an image of herself rocking a loose kaftan and expressed how she is using the lockdown time to unwind. The actress credited Kareena, who she affectionately calls Bebo, for this change of heart. While it is interesting to see Malaika in this avatar, it does feel odd to not see her cracking a difficult yoga position or rocking some designer footwear.
Go Natural
Many celebrities like Kareena Kapoor advocate taking a more natural route when it comes to skincare and we are in full support of it. The actress is most known for playing the role of the fashionista, Pooja in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Judging by how fashionable her character in the film is, we can pretty much trust Kareena to be the same. The sparkling actress is known for being the queen of her own fashion game and owning it. Not one to mince her words, Kareena likes to be upfront about her taste in fashion and isn’t afraid to speak her mind. The Tashan actress is often spotted in a cotton kaftan, with no makeup and messy locks of hair. It’s funny because Kareena is often seen as a fashion icon and has been the show stopper and face of Lakme for many many years now. However, when it comes to her own personal sense of style, the megastar likes to keep her looks simple and minimal.
Girl Gang
Malaika Arora, Amrita Arora, Kareena Kapoor, and Karisma Kapoor have been friends for many many years now. This group of celeb ladies lay down Instagram friendship goals for all of us. The stunning actresses often take to their Instagram accounts to share their love for each other and it’s heartwarming to look at it. They are also the first ones to compliment each other’s posts. Talk about having a girl squad that boosts your morale!
The actresses often share relatable posts about missing their besties and bonding over TV shows and their love for napping. Malaika also recently took to her Instagram to talk about how she had decided to opt for a vegan diet during the lockdown. She showed her followers how to make a simple Kerala style curry and encouraged people to eat immunity-boosting food at home. Considering how fit she is at this age, I guess we can take her word for switching to healthy diets. The stunning actress appeared to be calm and relaxed in the video she shared online as well and we guess this lockdown is giving her a much-needed break.
While the idea of the ongoing Indian summer during the Coronavirus lockdown doesn’t sound very pleasant, it’s important for us to keep safe and not lower our guard down even when things might seem clear. Even if the summer months get unbearably hot, remember, that this too shall pass. Do tell us know if you were surprised to see Malaika switch to this more natural and cozy avatar.
