Harper’s Bazaar: In an ever-changing landscape, how has your definition of beauty evolved?

Malaika Arora: “I believe that beauty is inner health. If you are healthy and good from within, you can take on any new change or trend and ace it.”

HB: What are your three thumb rules when it comes to beauty?

MA: “I have three fundamental rules when it comes to beauty. Firstly, I advocate embracing uniqueness. It means recognising that beauty cannot be confined to a single standard but rather stems from embracing and celebrating your distinctiveness and unique attributes. Secondly, I emphasise the importance of prioritising self-care, both physically and mentally. It plays a crucial role in exuding inner beauty and confidence. Lastly, I encourage individuals to be kind, compassionate and understand that genuine beauty emanates from acts of empathy, thereby contributing to a more beautiful world for all.”
