“I’m Starting the Year by Slowing Down and Listening to Myself,” Says Kashika Kapoor

In an industry often driven by constant motion and unrelenting schedules, Kashika Kapoor is choosing a more mindful way to step into the new year—one anchored in balance, self-awareness, and quiet strength.

The actor chose to welcome the year with a personal wellness retreat, embracing an environment that encouraged physical renewal, mental clarity, and emotional grounding. Surrounded by serene natural landscapes and moments of stillness, Kapoor’s approach reflects a growing shift among a new generation of artists—where wellbeing is no longer seen as a luxury, but an essential foundation.

“I wanted to begin the year by slowing down and reconnecting with myself,” Kapoor shares. “When you’re always on the move, you forget that clarity often comes from stillness. This time was about grounding myself before everything that lies ahead.”

Her understated style during the retreat—marked by earthy hues, relaxed silhouettes, and minimalism—mirrored the philosophy she embodies: calm, centred, and quietly confident. Rather than stepping away from ambition, Kapoor’s focus on wellness signals refinement and intention. It’s a reminder that rest doesn’t interrupt momentum; it sharpens it.

Wellness, for me, isn’t about escaping work,” she adds. “It’s about alignment. When your mind and body are in sync, you make better decisions, perform with more honesty, and show up more fully in your craft.”

Over the past year, Kapoor has steadily earned recognition for her discipline, versatility, and thoughtful career choices across film and digital platforms. Her decision to recalibrate before diving into new commitments reflects a maturity often overlooked in fast-paced creative spaces—an understanding that longevity is built on inner balance as much as outward success.

As the year unfolds with new projects and expanding horizons, this moment of pause marks more than a retreat—it signals a mindset. One that recognises stillness as strength, balance as power, and self-awareness as the ultimate form of  luxury.
