Q. How did you start your journey from being a simple homemaker?
A: It would be wrong if it is termed as ‘homemaker’ in my case. Since I got married at a very young age, I had to look after my education and other important things along with my family.
Q. You’ve been a swimmer and a painter in your childhood days. When did you decide to get into the cosmetic industry?
A: I always wanted to be a painter from my childhood days. But while looking after my family and other things, I could not manage time to pursue that. However, when I started my own beauty parlour I had decided that I need to be the best. That is why I got into a beautician course.
Q. Brand Keya Seth started with a 185 sq. ft. beauty parlour. How does it feel when you look back?
A: All the memories of my past are very dear to me. Because that is when I learnt a lot of things. But I’ve been into pretty bad situations as well and I try to get ahead of those by forgetting it. I want to stick to my good old days.
Q. The journey started with only six products and now brand Keya Seth is into apparel, education and what not! How do you singlehandedly manage?
A: I’m still stuck to the thing that I love the most. But it is not only makeup that makes a person look good. One needs good apparel too. That is why I created ‘Keya Seth Exclusive’.
Q. ‘Keya Seth Exclusive’ has a wide variety of apparel for different people and different choices. How do you choose your own dresses?
A: Till now the dresses that I have worn are designed by me. Also, my daughter only wore dresses designed by me till she turned 10 years old. That is how ‘Keya Seth Exclusive’ came into being.
Q. In the present scenario, women are busy and they have to manage a lot of things. How would you suggest them to take care of their beauty even with a limited time in hand?
A: The first thing that one needs to do to take care of their beauty in a limited time is to wash their faces. Apart from that one also needs to use a good shampoo to take better care of their hair. Only then will they be able to take care of their beauty properly. Also, before going out in the sun, one should always use sunscreen.
Q. A lot of people have complained regarding hair fall after recovering from Covid. Is there any solution to that?
A: It has been observed that in a lot of cases, covid patients after recovery have complained about hair fall and how they have lost their glow of the skin. For haircare, one needs to go for oil massage daily. Also, before sleeping one needs to moisturize their facial skin. Apart from that drinking lots of water is necessary, one can apply curd on hair and even having coconut water is helpful.
Q. What are five key things to success according to you?
A: For being successful one needs to be prudent. One also needs to plan things up in advance to be successful. You need to choose what’s good for you first, you need to work hard, you need to invest time, you need to be thoughtful about helping others and you need to be honest towards your work.
Q. What new should we expect from ‘Keya Seth Exclusive’ in the next five years?
A: What new things are coming in the next five years is currently unknown to me. But I want new Keya Seths to grow everywhere around me. So I would urge everybody interested in this field to come forward and fulfill their dreams.
