In this issue

Summer arrives in all its sun-drenched intensity, and this month, Femina brings you a special issue that captures the spirit of becoming, on your own terms.
On our cover is Sara Arjun, a talent who has quietly built an impressive body of work across five Indian languages over nearly two decades. With Dhurandhar, she steps into a space that feels both inevitable and entirely her own. A star, unmistakably, is on the rise.
This idea of self-defined evolution flows through the issue. With Crown & Culture, we revisit the enduring legacy of Femina Miss India, a platform that has shaped and been shaped by generations of Indian women. From Zeenat Aman to Manushi Chhillar, its journey has always been about more than beauty.
As the heat strips things down, so do we. Our Beauty & Wellness pages embrace simplicity, ease, and routines that do not begin with exhaustion. Food becomes both nourishment and relief, with vibrant salads and cooling ingredients designed to keep you light, energised, and balanced through the season.
In our Teens section, we tune into the quieter rhythm of summer. Slower, softer, yet deeply self-aware. From mindful skincare to mood-setting playlists, there is a gentle but firm assertion of identity.
As much of India braces for an intense heatwave, this issue is also a reminder that seasonality is not just aesthetic, but lived reality. Slow down, tune in, and make space for what matters. Get your copy now.

WE HEAR YOU!
