May arrives wrapped in celebration. It is a month that, almost instinctively, turns our attention to weddings—not just as events, but as deeply layered experiences that bring together people, memory, and meaning. In this issue, we explore the many ways in which weddings continue to evolve while holding on to the traditions that define them.
Our cover star, Pooja Hegde, reflects a phase of quiet clarity. There’s a noticeable shift in how she approaches her craft—less about spectacle, more about instinct and emotional depth. Following projects like Deva and Retro, she appears to be choosing roles that offer something more grounded. What lies ahead adds a lighter, playful note, as she steps into a romantic comedy opposite Varun Dhawan in Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, directed by David Dhawan. Our Feature Story looks at the fashion language of Indian weddings—how every region tells its own story through fabric, jewellery, and form. From the structured elegance of the South to the regal scale of the North and the rooted authenticity of the Northeast, weddings emerge as visual narratives where tradition and personal expression meet. Here, fabric becomes memory, and jewellery, a legacy passed through generations.
In People in Focus, we meet Eeshaan Kashyap, a Delhi-based designer and former chef who reimagines dining as an intimate, storytelling experience through Tablescape by Eeshaan. We also speak with makeup artist Anush Ali, whose approach to beauty is defined by restraint and intuition. Her work centres on a skin-first philosophy—creating looks that feel effortless, where individuality remains untouched beneath the makeup.
This May issue is a reminder that weddings are not just about grand moments, but about the stories, emotions, and identities that shape them.
