You & I Monthly Magazine

Dear Readers,
Gracing our cover this month is the poised and multifaceted Soha Ali Khan—actress, author, mother, and wellness advocate. A royal by lineage and grounded by choice, Soha talks to us about navigating the evolving landscape of cinema, raising her daughter Inaaya with intention, and carving a life that balances legacy, passion, and personal freedom. She also shares her thoughts on holistic living, the power of mindfulness, and her belief in parenting on her own terms. Turn to Cover Story for the full scoop.
Some spaces speak louder than words. They don’t need statement pieces or themed décor to make an impression. Instead, they carry a quiet elegance—marked by how light moves through a room, how textures invite touch, or how an object seems to belong without explanation. These are the homes that stay with you. Not because they follow trends, but because they reflect a deeper connection to the world beyond their walls.
In this issue, we explore globally inspired interiors—spaces that are shaped by the spirit of places far and wide. Whether it’s the warmth of Mediterranean finishes, the minimalism of Scandinavian design, or the layered richness of Indian craftsmanship, these homes offer a sense of place that’s emotional as much as aesthetic.
In People in Focus, we speak to Nikita Sahney, Founder of Phylosophy Design Studio, whose signature approach to luxury interiors is refreshingly human. Trained in interior architecture and deeply influenced by her upbringing in Hyderabad, Nikita’s design journey began with an intuitive understanding of how people feel in a space. In our conversation, she shares how her mother’s instinct for turning houses into homes shaped her early aesthetic, and how living in Dubai has expanded her global design vocabulary.
We also have an interview with Nikita Gupta, founder of Amama, whose jewellery tells stories of heritage with a contemporary twist.
And as always, we look inward too. In our Mind & Body section, we explore how your home can work with your natural rhythms. By syncing your interiors with your circadian cycle, you don’t just design a space—you nurture your wellbeing.
