Femina - December 2022

En este asunto

This issue is a celebration of maximalism. Living large. Celebrating life. If you leaf through our pages, we have the best guides for various experiences across the country that are the epitome of “treat yourself”. Whether it’s food and drink, fashion, spas, hotel living, glamping, gifts... we’ve got it covered. If you’re in the mood for “go big or go home”, we’ve done the research and are happy to pass it all on to you.

Helming such a larger-than-life issue is a star that goes beyond A-List. She’s in a category of her own. Katrina Kaif is one of the most beautiful, talented stars in our country, but those aren’t the only adjectives to describe her. She’s also an incredibly astute business woman – a mogul in the making – with her beauty company, Kay Beauty, aka India’s first celebrity makeup brand. We sat down with Katrina to dig deeper into her entrepreneurial side. About the genesis of Kay Beauty. How she turned an idea into a reality. Why diversity and inclusivity matter so much to her. She’s talking about it all, and it makes for a fascinating conversation.

Happy New Year in advance!

Katrina Kaif Is Doing Oh-Kay!

Of course KATRINA KAIF is one of the most famous celebrities in India, occupying a space that goes beyond A-List. But, in this interview, we're focusing on her astute business acumen, clearly evident in the journey and scale of her class brand, Kay Beauty.
