Grazia India Magazine - March-April 2026

In this issue

This issue embraces a playful yet profound shift, where surreal, toy-like aesthetics meet the steady pulse of cultural evolution. From producers Vikesh Bhutani and Shujaat Saudagar discussing Boong’s landmark BAFTA win to Nicobar celebrating a decade of effortless design, we explore how storytelling remains our most reliable anchor. Whether we’re decoding the psychology of "limerence" or looking at memes as the ultimate digital response to crisis fatigue, this edition finds clarity in the chaos of modern life.

In beauty, the S/S 26 season brings a dual focus: sharp sculpture and definition meet the nostalgic return of age-old looks, proving that the future of glamour is often rooted in the past. To help you navigate the transition, The Grazia S/S 2026 Trend Report serves as your essential guide on what to expect, what to revisit, and what to bookmark for the months ahead.

We also sit down with Michelle Poonawalla, who reflects on the weight of a legacy and why true luxury lies in the art of doing more with less, while Rishab Rikhiram Sharma shows us how he is translating centuries of tradition into a contemporary sound. We also head to the streets to capture the flavours and human connections that define the Ramzan spirit.

On the cover, Kiara Advani reflects on a twelve-year journey defined by instinct and resilience. Through her own words and the perspectives of the directors who shaped her career, we reveal an actor who continues to reinvent herself while staying remarkably true to her lens.
