And so, we arrive at 2024. The beginning of every year symbolises and brings on hope, joy and happiness. We have put together the essence of all forms of positivity on our pages. You will know as you flip through. On our cover, we have the vivacious Mrunal Thakur who believes that the time between ‘action’ and ‘cut’ is when the magic happens. She describes the feeling of being on camera as divine. “I believe the purpose of my being an actor is to tell stories, become the voice of the voiceless,” she tells Femina. As she puts her best foot forward, here’s to the new year, new beginnings and doing work that matters. Read all about her journey in our cover story.

The Big Story is essentially people, across industries, highlighting a memory or an object that gives them hope and joy. They have shared their personalised wishes for all of our readers. And, therefore, we have an issue filled with messages of peace, good health, immense love, strength, compassion.

Happiness can come in many forms. But the quickest and bonafide way of finding it is through a collection of colourful handbags that have replaced the usual soporific ones as the choicest bags of the season. Fling it over the shoulder, clutch them in your arms or tuck them securely in the pits – wear them however you like. We also feel that there’s something about beauty that can put you in a good mood. We have the fix you need. Also, there nothing that brings more joy to many than the power of the written word so we got some famous authors to share lines that make them smile and help uplift their mood at any given time. All this and more in this powerpacked issue.
