In this issue
In today’s fast-paced, competitive world, actor Hrithik Roshan epitomises calm. In our cover story, the Bollywood superstar dismisses the “old-school” idea of working harder and harder to chase success that is only elusive. “I am very happy with what I have, which means now I need to enjoy my work and not be stressed to earn more,” he says. Apart from this rare interview which gives a sneak peek into the actor’s mind, there is a story on artist-travellers who are shunning the Insta life to capture memories by putting pen to paper. And there are features on food and travel that may tempt you to pack your bags and take that holiday that you have been planning for years.

Forbes Life India Magazine Description:
Publisher: Digital18
Category: Lifestyle
Language: English
Frequency: Bi-Monthly
At ForbesLife India, from the very beginning, we never benchmarked ourselves by what other publications were doing. We chose instead to create, for better or worse, a niche all our own. Starting with the premise that affluent people got that way by being smart; why not appeal to their intelligence instead of shovelling bling and vapid celebrities at them? So we look for ideas that tickle the imagination and play to your senses, experiences that take you to exciting places and people. And though we live in breathless times, we see value in slowing the pace down a little, in giving thoughts the space and pace they deserve. Through four simple lenses—Think; Live; Work; Play—we hope to help you ‘Live a Rich Life.’
