The soon-to-be-bride was spotted wearing a shimmering black bodycon dress, with her massive solitaire ring. But what caught our eye was the sleek, barrel-shaped satin clutch in her arms. As it turns out, the bag happens to be from the homegrown accessory label Ahikoza.

    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.
