Zohaeb Farooqui does not spend much time grooming. However, the Inspector Avinash actor strongly believes in updating oneself both internally and externally, be it from mind to body to eating habits, everything is essential.
He feels talking about grooming or flaunting new looks by celebrities helps men be aware about its benefits and also normalizes the notion. “Celebs are constantly under the public eye. So people tend to follow as well as admire them for new trends and looks. So flaunting does benefit a lot and plus creates a unique statement. And, let me tell you one thing, always take criticism and suggestions in a positive way because that will only help you groom and grow,” says the nephew of filmmaker Subhash Ghai.
There are several myths about grooming that we often realized much later in life. “Nope, nothing as such… I always loved learning. So learning only helped me a lot to groom, plus I always keep a watch on myself and my work and end up criticizing myself. So that way it also helps me a lot to groom. For me the glass is always half empty because for me half full means I’m done and I’m satisfied and whereas half empty for me means that I need to do more to achieve my dreams and goals.”
Talking about whether there is any new grooming habit or trend that he has been introduced to, which he was previously apprehensive about, Zohaeb says, “Nothing! I automatically end up following the trend.”
