Lara won the Miss Universe title in 2000. She made her acting debut in 2003 with 'Andaaz'
Former Miss Universe and actor Lara Dutta took to her Instagram to share two pictures of herself- one with make-up and another is her no-makeup face. Sharing the photos, Lara wrote that she's ‘keeping it real’ and that ‘it’s important to get dressed and show up- for yourself’.
“Keeping it real!!! This was me at 7 pm tonight, right after a killer workout that wiped me out!!! The next image is me 2 hours later, ready to head out to celebrate my fraternity. What’s the point??? Just that it’s important to know that none of us wake up looking like the way we do in the numerous glam photos you see of us!! It takes a small village to get us there!! In my case, hairdresser extraordinaire @clarabellesaldanha, my trusty makeup pouch and a favourite, jewelled tone colour. No matter how your days been, it’s important to get dressed and show up- for yourself," she captioned the photo.
Her photos got not only love from her industry friends but also from her fans. One fan commented, “This is true.” Another one wrote, “Love your authenticity.” Thanking her one said, “Thank you for keeping real," and making a similar compliment, another one commented, “Fabulous in both. Thanks for inspiring women to be themselves. With or without makeup.”
