For hair?
The actress, who launched a botanical hair tonic True Roots that delays hair greying, said: “I didn’t do much before this. This is like the only product I have started to keep in my bag very lately.

She says it suited her needs.
“I do have a lot of greys and I do have a need to cover them and I hadn’t found such a natural solution and an easy solution to prevent my greys and also go to the root cause, rather than superficially hiding them,” she said.
