    Whether it’s flaunting the glass armour sari by Raw Mango featuring a unique snake breastplate or the crushed silk ghagra with a maximal beaded mirror blouse by designer duo Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla, Bhumi has always managed to set the 'Gram on fire with her style choices. Recently, for one of the promotional events of her movie, the actor stunned her followers by dropping pics in a cobalt blue sari from the shelves of Vaishali Shandangule.

    The corset comes from the label's Padma couture collection, inspired by the lotus flower and the famous Rambagh Palace in Rajasthan, where it was first showcased. The highlight of the ensemble was the designer's signature cording technique, which was implemented in its creation nearly two decades ago. Instead of draping the palla the conventional way, the actor wore it in reverse, allowing the silk-blend drape with zari work across the border to have the limelight.


    For the make-up, she opted for a barely there look with a nude lip, gentle sweeps of soft blush and kohl-rimmed eyes. For the jewellery, Bhumi opted for a geometric choker with sapphire-laden pieces and silver danglers and a cuff from the house of Mahesh Notandass. She finally tied the look with a messy bun.

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.

    The fact that it comes with band, baaja and baraat — what's not to love?And that is the reason our first issue celebrates:
    THE NEW BRIDE.
