Journeys make for interesting stories and reflect a lot about people. Sidharth Malhotra, for instance, found his way to Bollywood by happenstance. Our cover story on the actor explains how the ‘outsider’ made a mark for himself in the Hindi film industry and is now on a mission to ensure that people go beyond his looks. His work and choices speak for themselves, but, at the same time, it’s his support system that has enabled him to keep his head firmly on his shoulders. We also take a look at Rohit Sharma’s roller-coaster ride in international cricket. Regarded as one of the most gifted players of his time, he has struggled to cement his place in the Test team. The issue also features stories on global cuisine – from Vietnamese food to authentic Paris delicacies and Northeast India’s specialties.

Forbes Life India Magazine Description:

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.’
