In this issue

Sunshine, sparkle, and stories that stay with you—that’s what April brings to this issue. Our cover star Sharvari channels the season's energy with effortless charm. From her Dadar roots to her rising stardom, she’s every bit the breakout star with staying power. In this feature, we trace her journey so far and celebrate the grounded girl behind the glamour.

In our Big Story, we shift the spotlight to money and mindset. Money Moves: Unlock Your Wealth Potential goes beyond numbers to explore how financial freedom fuels personal power. It’s your guide to building wealth with intention—and impact.

Our Gen Z special brings the cool factor with a dose of clarity. These teens are not just redefining trends—they’re rewriting the rulebook on growing up, identity, and ambition.

Fashion takes a front-row seat at Lakmé Fashion Week X FDCI, where we spotlight eight standout looks that blend runway drama with real-world wearability. Over in beauty, it’s all about nails that last—from chic minimalism to high-gloss glam, we’ve rounded up summer-friendly tips to keep your mani fresh despite the heat.

This issue is a reminder that growth can be bold—or beautifully quiet. Whether it’s a career milestone or a moment of self-care, we hope April brings you light, joy, and just the right amount of glow.

Tap in, turn the page, and let it all in.

She's ALL That!

It’s been just four years since she stepped into the industry, and, already, she’s making the leap from promising newcomer to full-fledged star. But, through all the applause and accolades, SHARVARI is still the same ‘Dadar chi mulgi’ – warm, effervescent, and flashing that million-dollar smile we've all come to love
