'No Offence' To Makeup Artists But Pavitra Punia 'Doesn't Like Anyone Experimenting On Her Face'- EXCLUSIVE

In the world of glitz and glamour, our actresses turn up looking like a million bucks and the person who can be credited for their look has to be their makeup artist. Our small screen divas who aim to look the best on screen, ensure that they have the best makeup artists and hairstylists in place, but there are some exceptional cases like those of Pavitra Punia who don’t need assistance in these departments.

Pavitra who is currently seen playing the negative character of Timnasa on the show Baalveer Returns believes in doing her own makeup. If you’ve closely observed her look on the show, you would realise her costume is extremely heavy and her makeup boasts of elaborate prep-work on her facial features, which makes her overall look, perfectly evil and wicked. Well, the entire credit for her look solely and wholly can be attributed to the actress.

Speaking about it exclusively to SpotboyE.com, Pavitra said, "It's a 25 kg heavy costume that I have to carry every single day. But now I have become used to it. For my makeup, I take almost one and half hour. But the best part is that I do my own makeup and it’s not your normal makeup.  If you notice, my eyes and other features need good finishing. It doesn’t bother me as makeup is my forte. My production people were very much ready to provide me a makeup artist like they do for everyone else. But, it was my decision that I want to do my own makeup, well of course, there are hands to help me.”

Considering the fact that her look is fixed for the show, we asked her if she regrets that she can’t go experimental as her character’s look demands her to be a certain way. She replied, "Timnasa’s look is fixed, so I actually can't experiment much. But, let me tell you that prior to this show, whatever shows I have done, right from Yeh Hain Mohabbatein to Naagin 3, I have done my own makeup.” And of course, those shows saw Pavitra displaying varied looks.

The actress added, "You know your skin the most and also what suits you the most. So, I don't like others experimenting on my face especially, when it comes to my looks woh mujhe bilkul bardaasht nahin hota. I don't disrespect any makeup artist from the industry. But I just feel if it’s my face and my skin, I should get the complete credit of how I look. From last 6 years, I have completely groomed myself in doing good makeup.”

The best part is unlike others, Pavitra hasn’t learnt the art through any makeup tutorials online. On a parting note, she tells us, “It is a blessing to me that main subah uthi aur mujhe makeup aata tha already.”
