"IT'S OKAY NOT TO BE OKAY"

MAKE-UP & HAIR: KRITIKA GILL/FEAT ARTIST: PHOTOGRAPHY ASSISTANT: KUSHAL GANDHI, FASHION ASSISTANT: VEDICA VORA; CREATIVE DIRECTION: PORUS VIMADALAL: ART DIRECTION: PRAYAG MENON

"Growing up, I spent a lot of time with karigars, with fabrics lying all around the place, with textbooks and textile, clothing sketches my mom is a designer]. I feel I get my sense of style and fashion from my mother and my mother gets it from her mother so it's kind of just been passed down."

My very first cover interview is with an actor who’s always the first name on my mind when it comes to visualising a story. Having expressed how effortlessly she has managed to make my job easier by always having a picture-perfect image for a wellness, beauty or fashion story, Athiya Shetty had a wide smile on her face, knowing she was talking to her latest fan. It wasn’t just me, but everyone at the cover shoot was in absolute awe of the ease and comfort with which she aced each and every look. Athiya is a star who, with a face and personality that was made for the camera, was born to shine. By sticking to her mantra ‘Come as you are’, which is also her Instagram bio, she explains how important it is to, “Come as you are, keep things real and remind yourself that you are enough and that everyone has their own individuality and weaknesses. And this is something that should be celebrated more.”
