Highlights of Cosmopolitan India magazine April-May 2020:
The latest edition of Cosmo India is here! Our stunning cover girl Radhika Apte sends us remotely-shot postcard-pictures from London for this special coverstory, and opens up about enjoying the slow life RN, spending time with her loved ones, and indulging in the small (big) things that matter...

There are also a lot of other equally exciting stories: some of India's biggest influencers help us create a special Yearbook, expressing what they are feeling by way of pictures, to document the Summer of 2020; some of the COVID-19 crusaders in the country who've taken the onus on themselves to reach out to the most vulnerable and distressed sections in the current crisis; Sobhita Dhulipala on her life in the lockdown and all that she has been up to; Tahira Kashyap Khurrana on how to be mentally stronger in tough times; 10 models turn stylist, art director, and make-up artist--even photographer in some cases--to bring to life the moodboard imagined by Cosmo, and showcase their take on the print-on-print trend; an artistic journey featuring some of SS20's most defining beauty moments; tales of isolation especially penned for Cosmo; how being loved can boost self-esteem; and much more!
