As conversations around lifestyle continue to evolve, one idea stands out this month — sustainability is no longer a choice, it is a necessity. With rising global temperatures, changing weather patterns, and uncertainties around fuel and food supply, the way we live, consume, and travel is undergoing a meaningful shift. In our Feature Story, Green Is the New Luxury, we explore how sustainable living is redefining modern lifestyles — from solar-powered homes and electric mobility to kitchen gardens, water conservation, and self-sufficient communities. What once seemed aspirational is now becoming practical, proving that mindful living can also be elegant and empowering.

 

Kriti Sanon graces the cover with effortless poise, embodying the spirit of modern ambition. An actress, producer, and entrepreneur, she continues to define success on her own terms. From red carpets to powerful on-screen moments, Kriti shines with confidence, elegance, and authenticity.

 

In People in Focus, we bring you an exclusive conversation with Lucia Silvestri, the creative force behind the high jewellery collections of Bvlgari. Known as the brand’s “gem hunter,” she shares insights into her lifelong journey with the Roman house, her fascination with India, and her instinctive approach to colour, craftsmanship, and creativity.

 

We also feature Dr Aisshwarya Panddit, celebrity cosmetic physician and Founder of AuraEdge Aesthetic and Wellness, who is redefining modern aesthetics through an ethics-first philosophy that prioritises natural, refined results and long-term skin health.

 

In Grand Getaways, Dr Aditi Govitrikar takes us through her Italian sojourn — a journey that moves beyond travel into a deeply personal exploration of stillness, beauty, and mindful living. From Rome’s historic charm to the serenity of coastal towns, her reflections remind us that the most meaningful journeys are often the ones that slow us down.

 

Our Mind & Body section continues the theme with Sustainable Self-Care: Small Daily Rituals That Are Good for You and the Earth, exploring how conscious, intentional habits can nurture both personal well-being and the planet.

 

As always, we hope this issue inspires you to embrace thoughtful choices, celebrate creativity, and discover beauty in mindful living.
