“Why should girls have all the fun” was our thought when we started to work on this issue—our annual Ugadi special. Unlike most years where we have women on the cover, this year we’ve got three men, and we hope you find it a refreshing change! This week we talk to three actors, namely Upen Patel, Aadarsh Balakrishna, and Siddu Jonnalagadda about their thoughts on the Telugu New Year. Turn to our Cover Story to read what they had to say.
The Feature talks about all the celebrations that take place in a Telugu household on Ugadi—right from the pujas and shopping for new clothes prior to the festival, to the food prepared on the day. Not just that, it also gives details on the equivalent festivals of Ugadi, and how it is celebrated in different parts of the country.
