Dear Readers,
As the festival of lights nears, our city sparkles a little brighter — and so does this issue. On our cover, the radiant South Indian sensation Sreeleela graces us in a stunning Neeru’s silk saree. This collaboration between the Hyderabad-born fashion powerhouse and the beloved actress has taken the internet by storm — with everyone from influencers to fans dancing to the catchy Andanga Andanga tune. In our Cover Story, we bring you an exclusive look behind the scenes, where the spokesperson of Neeru’s reveals all about this glamorous partnership, the brand’s latest festive collection, and what’s next for the label that continues to redefine tradition with style.
It’s also that special time of year when homes glow with diyas, laughter, and the spirit of togetherness. Diwali isn’t just a festival — it’s a feeling. In our Feature Story, we meet families who share how they prepare for and celebrate the season — from heartfelt traditions to modern touches that keep the essence alive.
Our People in Focus the spotlight is on designer Anju Jain, whose label Just Like That by Anju Jain brings a soulful, contemporary edge to Indian fashion. Her thoughtful fusion of artisanal craft and modern design reminds us that style, much like Diwali, is a celebration of both heritage and renewal.
And finally, in Mind & Body, we explore an often-overlooked ritual — the act of cleaning. Beyond tidying up, it’s a form of emotional decluttering. Every swept corner and every item given away makes space not just in our homes, but in our minds.
Here’s wishing you a Diwali filled with light, love, and the joy of new beginnings!
