Being both an actor and an athlete can put you in a tough spot. Especially when it comes to taking care of your body, skin and health. From choosing the right skincare to unwinding, there is so much that goes behind preparing yourself for the next run. Speaking about which, we chatted with multi-hyphenate Gul Panag. The actress unveiled the official race day merchandise for Tata Mumbai Marathon 2024, alongside ASICS India and athlete Rohan Bopanna.
Unveiling the latest collection for ASCIS, I watched Gul speak to me about her favourite elements from the entire range, as she excitedly pointed at the brushstroke swirls in highlighter hues, painted all over her t-shirt, which she teamed with a pair of shorts. She further added– “I think this is by far the best race day merchandise, I’ve seen in the 20 years that I’ve been running marathons. The vibrancy of the t-shirt as well as the super limited edition design of the shoe is really amazing! It’s a collectible. I love the colours, both in the black and the white. So I asked for one in white as well. Because I like white a lot.”
As someone who often measures the racing tracks on a run, Gul also confesses not having a disciplined skincare routine but swears on one thing which is– “Sunscreen, sunscreen, and sunscreen. I mean depending on how long you’re running. I also think the greatest thing you can do for your skin is sweat it out. Running itself is great skin care.”
Furthermore, Panag’s style hacks to keeping her active throughout the day, had this supremely interesting point which all of us should try. “I wear activewear pretty much all day. I have one hack. As soon as I wake up in the morning, I change into my workout wear. The first thing I wear is nothing else but activewear and then that way I’m committed. They say motherhood is an extreme sport, so one is always on the go and in fitness wear.”

She further mentioned “So I make sure I drop my son to school already changed up for my morning routine. I’ve been running in ASICS for over 15 years now, on and off. My workout wear is very focused because I am not dressing in active wear to chill during the day. I dress in active wear to be active and get the workout for the day done. But it’s a hack and I feel when I wake up in the morning, before anything else, I just change and be in my exercise clothes, and I will get that work done quicker.” Well, not just moms, but all of us must try this hack. Right?
On the professional front, the multi-hyphenate star was a part of some popular projects like Paatal Lok, Family Man and more.
