Rise & Shine Like Aishwarya: Bollywood Queen Packs 48 Hours Into Every Day

Bollywood icon Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has made headlines once more—this time, not for her red carpet appearances, but for her disciplined morning routine. In a recent interview with Harper's Bazaar, the actress has revealed that her day "definitely begins very early," rising at 5:30 AM punctually. This early morning wake-up, she insists, is the secret to balancing her hectic life as an actress, mother, and global celebrity.

 

Aishwarya elaborated, "It is 24 hours for everyone else, but we are trying to pack a 48-hour day into 24. Life is so busy that you can't put it down to a routine. One thing's for sure: my day begins at least at 5:30 every day, so that's consistent". She attributes this regimen with allowing her to be able to balance the demands of her family and work, and that it's "not about the hours, it's about getting the job done".

 

Apart from productivity, Aishwarya's early mornings are also her beauty and health secret. Experts cite that waking up early in the morning enables the body to make up for its own natural circadian rhythm, which improves sleep quality, energy, metabolism, and the health of hair and skin. It is not necessarily about rigid routines for Aishwarya but rather about having the right attitude and making the most of every moment: "We got to keep it positive; we got to be present and definitely committed while savouring the magic of every moment that the day has to present".
