    For the promotions of her upcoming movie Param Sundari, Janhvi Kapoor has been sporting all kinds of traditional looks. From her ivory handloom saree to her pink Torani saree with the drape made entirely with jasmine flowers, Janhvi is having a lot of fun with her looks. Given that she’s playing a South-Indian girl in the movie, she is choosing to pay homage to her South-Indian roots with her promotional looks.


    In another such look, she was recently seen wearing a custom-made gold Manish Malhotra handwoven tissue lehenga with the dupatta draped as a sari.

    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.
