    Sheikha Mahra, a modern woman who has carved her own identity over the years, had previously made the headlines for her personal life when in July 2024, she publicly announced the end of her marriage to Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed Al Maktoum with an Instagram post that read, ““Dear Husband, as you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce. I divorce you, I divorce you, and I Divorce You. Take Care. Your ex-wife.” She had launched her luxury perfume line, Mahra M1, with its debut fragrance titled Divorce shortly after her separation from Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed Al Maktoum.


    With their engagement, the couple has now captured the world's attention. While the details of their wedding are still under wraps and no date or venue has officially been announced but the expectations are high.

    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.
