During an interview with Marie Claire France, when asked about her beauty secret, Alia Bhatt moved away from talking about expensive serums, facials, or advanced skincare treatments and instead credited a traditional Indian kitchen staple, ghee.
According to an Instagram reel shared by the official page of Marie Claire France, Bollywood actor Alia Bhatt recently revealed a simple ghee-and-jaggery-based recipe commonly made in Indian homes and explained why ghee remains an important part of Indian cooking.
In the video, Alia says, “In India, we cook our food in ghee, at least in my home, and a lot of people do, and it is great for the gut and it is great for the skin.” She also shared her favourite snack made with ghee, jaggery, crushed peanuts, and a little coconut.
Calling it a “skin snack,” she added, “I have it so that my skin looks great and genuinely it works, it really works.”
