Highlights of Cosmopolitan India - January-February, 2026 issue:

The January–February edition of Cosmopolitan India is all about love—and then some. It features an exciting lineup of interviews with some of the biggest names in Bollywood, including Ayushmann Khurrana, Rakul Preet Singh, Anya Singh, and Sahher Bambba, while actor Kriti Sanon writes about the perils of being in the glam chair for our bi-monthly column 'Hot Take'. If you want to play dress up for someone special (and yourself, most importantly), we've got your back. From a striking red lip to scents with soothing rose notes, and sartorial texture and volume, we bring you the best in fashion and beauty for the month of love. But being in love also means having the hard conversations... Read all about the legal, financial, and emotional realities of prenups in India, a quiz on whether your ex deserves a second (or tenth) chance, and why 'money talk' strengthens the foundation of a relationship. Lest we forget our cover star, Shanaya Kapoor, who speaks of her version of love, her relationship with the internet and followers, and what it is really like to date as a celebrity.
