Let’s face it, we all want to know about celebrities—what they vouch for and what is in their Little Black Book. Well, we chatted with Eisha A Chopra, whose performances we are already a fan of, and she is equally authentic and unapologetically herself off the screen. The actor and writer, who debuted with Neerja, and now is founder of an artisanal gelato brand, Veluto, which she started with her mother, has let us in on what some of her favourite things are. Read on to find out—they are as interesting as the actor herself!
A Few Of Eisha A Chopra's Favourite Things
Her ‘Little Black Book’
₹1170
Shop On
Since she is a writer, of course, she uses a gazillion notebooks. But there is one particular one that is always with her since her college days, either in her bag or on her bedside table, i.e. the Black Classic Notebook from Moleskine.
Home-Grown Fashion Brand
She loves fashion that is androgynous, which is specifically why she loves the brand Khanijo. It’s her friend Gaurav Khanijo’s brand, which has beautiful textures and patterns that are carefully crafted and tell a story. She owns the elephant jacket, through which the brand ran a campaign for elephant care and protection, and all the proceeds earned went to wildlife care.
Home Grown Home Decor Brand
Home decor is one of Eisha's top interests and she is extremely, and rightly so, fond of her mother’s brand, Geeta Chopra—the brand she has grown up watching. From tailors to craftsmen, she has watched her mom live and breathe home decor and crafts, which is why she would bet on the brand any day. The brand, however, is not available online and is available only by appointment. She also loves Ravi Vazirani’s work for its clean and breathable aesthetics.
Veluto For 3 AM Snack Cravings
She has always been a fan of gelatos and that is exactly why she would reach into her freezer at 3 a.m. on most days to grab ice creams, which is exactly why she along with her mother started their own Gelato brand, Veluto. The brand offers a wide range of gelatos, and we personally recommend the brand, especially for its ice cream sandwiches—the waffle stays super crispy, c’mon how often does that happen? Her favourite flavour from the brand is Tiramisu, which is a must-try.
A Must-Read Book
₹180
Although, she is a person who enjoys reading Fiction over any other genre, she thinks the book, ‘The Psychology of Money,’ by Morgan Housel is a must-read as this book was a revelation for her since most of us are intimidated by money and are so awkward around it, however, this book gives timeless lessons on wealth, greed, and happiness. She recommends it to people who want to change their thought process about money.
Skin care & Make-up Brands
She loves a good sunscreen, which is why she is vouching for this sunscreen from Kimirica, which comes with an SPF 50. It is non-greasy, non-sticky, and extremely nourishing. Apart from that, she loves Zilch for natural make-up, Goof Proof Eyebrow Pencil - 05 Deep eyebrow pencil from Benefit Cosmetics, Tengin for coconut oil which is by the way her favourite skincare product of all time, and Ras for night-time skincare.
Treats From Nut Over Mutts
She has two dogs, who are literally the most friendly dogs we’ve met, and they are obsessed with treats from the brand Nut Over Mutts, the brand was started by Manvi Gupta, for the love of her Beagle, Poppy. We love how the brand is extremely mindful of the right nourishment for furry friends.
