We have come a long way since our apprehensions of Y2K and and the Mayan calendar’s “End of the world”. The fear of the unknown is mankind’s test of faith. The New Year brings with it also a new hope, new aspirations, and new avenues. It is another opportune for us to make good, and leave behind the encumbrances of the past.

You won’t be able to ignore the rise of new stars and fresh faces, fitting then that our cover Girl is none other than Bindhu Madhavi, the new star on the block, with a girl next door image she brightens up every character she has played in her recent hits .She can with ease portray roles that can take her from glamorous to gritty, and from perfect to perfectly messed up. Speaking of new aspiration I must say that the New Year did start for me with meeting the awe inspiring divas Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla, as we made our first collaboration with a Bollywood movie, being the first magazine to do so from the south. Watch out for our coming exclusives on Gulaab Gang.  

We have some absolutely fresh stories, as you read Celestial Connections, if you want to plan a wedding inspired by Van Gogh’s Starry Skies .The story on Bizarre wedding practices, will have you in splits as you will figure, some traditions are in fact weird. A MAGIC CARPET RIDE to Istanbul will leave you enchanted. And Ace Designer Tarun Tahiliani gives you Fashions latest for Weddings.

This issue is tumultuous but very fresh, which will push you to the edge, but that’s why you read Mehendi, because we believe your wedding should be anything but Boring ...Have a Joyful New Year!

Fantastic Florida: Florida is full of romantic honeymoon ideas, Fairy Wedding:

Hope the New Year is treating everyone well. Valentine’s day passed by and I am sure everyone expressed your love. The world is a much better place when we are in love, and life has more meaning when we have that one special person with whom we can share the highs and lows of life. And when we talk about love and all the good things how can I not mention about women’s day and how a woman adds more colour and life to all things. But I would like to add that it saddens me to see so many stories of how women are abused and harassed and how kids are sexually abused as well, and it is our responsibility as a society to put an end to all the violence against women and we should have strict and stringent laws to punish the o enders against women. I hope things change for the better. In this issue we have the Sizzling Sanchita Shetty of Soodhu Kaavum fame as our cover girl. She looks hot and sexy in one of our favourite designer, Sidney Sladen’s costumes. We also have interesting stories such as “ nding the lost love in marriage” where we talk about how to get the spark back in your marriage. And in our honeymoon segment we talk about Kashmir- A Paradise in earth and Paris the capital of Love. There are lot more stories that will keep you hooked on to our issue. So enjoy and spread the love..

~Fayaz Salahudeen=> Editor In Chief

In this festive issue we have the  Gorgeous Pooja Kumar Of vishwaroopam fame as our cover girl - Divalicious. We also have a special make-up feature on Bridal Look. In our wedding ritual segment we talk aboutthe Greek wedding and their traditions. In our FAQ- Beauty queen Shahnaz Husain answers your queries.We have lots of interesting stories lined up in this issue, so grab your copy now!. Enjoy the festive season with your loved ones..

This year surely has whizzed past faster than I can imagine. Although I am not half as close to being comfortable that the year is gearing towards the end. The thing I  look forward to is that the rest of the year will be better than the first half of it. As the festival season closes in, there is a lot of celebration in store in the coming months. 
Also as the inauspicious Aadi month leads way to preparation to weddings there is much to look forward to besides the weather cooling down and being bearable. There is no denying though that this is the best time if you are a shopaholic or if you have an impending function around the corner, what with all the deals, discounts and offers. This is a shoppers dream.
 With new beginnings also arrive new hopes so we have as our Cover girl, the very promising Miya George who leads the new crop of talented actresses who are not just pretty faces but also just as much performers. Miya talks to Mehendi about her aspirations as an actress and where she sees herself in the coming years.
We also focus on Vintage Weddings in our Wedding stories as many are now opting for a traditionally rich and classy wedding over much bling.
A look at Sinhalese wedding might get you thinking if you want to have a off -beat big day.We look at keeping the bride groom suave with the trendy style tips that rule the men’s fashion world today. 
This and lots more to keep you inspired this month and if you are the quintessential shopper my advice to you this month is SHOP ON....

As we have entered a New Year and quite a fancy one at that .We are already well into a
month and more. The wedding season has kick started,and what more reason do we need to
celebrate our third anniversary,
yes Mehendi turns 3.
Our baby steps may not have been perfect, we crawled a bit, fumbled and even fell,but
only to over come and stand tall. And so this year we are all set to go head on to give you
the pleasure of being part of the Mehendi family. It has been the constant support of our
well wishers, clients, contributors and most of all our readers who has helped us pursue
this journey. And as the years roll by we are sure to push harder to give you the ultimate
Mehendi experience. This issue is special for us as we have the unbelievably beautiful star
Kajal Agarwal as our cover girl. She is often hailed as the darling of the masses and the
lucky charm of most producers. Kajal very graciously lent us her time in between her back to
back schedules.
We have also revamped our issue to be able to give you a new and easier feel. In our
honeymoon section we take you through Mauritius and also thru India’s gem Gangtok.Our
wedding rituals focuses on Jain custom of marriage. We have also added style tips for the
groom to be which seems to be one request men have been inquiring about. Flowers are an
undeniable part of weddings so why not go full force and create a flower themed wedding for
your Big day.This and many more articles will keep you informed and engrossed if you are
looking to plan your Big day... Wishing you all a fabulous new year!

My favorite part of the year is just
around the corner, the temperature
dips and the festivals begin soon, and we set stage for the celebrations.
Weddings these days are getting so adventurous it is a festival of sorts,
spanning for almost a week of activities. Families are choosing venues out
of city limits to conduct their extravagant functions. I recently witnessed
a wedding which was based on an African theme and stopped short of
only bringing a piece of Africa right here in town. The elaborate tents,
costumes and musicians took you to a different realm. They even had
African dancers performing traditional dances. The world has certainly
gotten a lot smaller, and boundaries have been now broken. We bring
you inspiration in form of the feather theme wedding as light as air in
Flaunt in a Fluffy, Feathery Wedding.
Our Cover Girl this issue is none other than Jacqueline Fernandez. We
have an exclusive interview from Anju Modi. We also have Rakul Preet
Singh talk about her journey from Miss India to becoming the most
sought actress, and now moving into Bollywood.
A slice of Rajasthan is served to you in our story Ritually Resplendent
Rajasthani Knots. And the reigning queen of beauty Shahnaz Hussain,
answers your beauty queries. All this and our regular features is bound
to keep you excited and inspired till the end of the issue. Wishing you
loads of Celebrations.

This part of the year is a Bollywood obsessed public\'s dream come true. When we can live, feel and emulate everything we have been seeing on the screen. The heavily adorned garb, jewellery that has been stowed away since last Diwali. Out comes the Best China, and crystals for all those Tash nights. Lights, lamps, Silverware, not to mention the amount of savouries that will make way to your homes and the Gifts that you need to stack up to distribute during this festive season. Wedding season is also around the corner and the preparations begin. 
While questioning many brides on what they thought was an essential in their trousseau, one name reverberated through; they would undeniably have a Ritu Kumar classic or was handed down one as an heirloom. The original couturier of India, the lady herself, Ritu Kumar. We feature an exclusive on her latest collection in RITU REGALIA. Not leaving the Glitter behind, the Golden Bride is a must read theme wedding you might want to look up if you are a bride to be. We also bring you exclusive pages of Bold Bridal and Festive Hair and make- up looks from the Naturals Lounge.

All of august flew by with not a day to spare, and all this month, I was to be honest, figuring out a small trivia I came across much to my amusement.  At the moment though I figure is much more real than I believed ... It read, most birthdays in a year fall in august, and the least in February, and most criminals are born in November. At first I laughed at the thought of such a statistic, but to my utmost disbelief, each day of the past month, I have been flitting from one birthday to the other. August has been the month of babies, birthdays and more. And well it is the beginning of autumn, monsoon, harvest, and most of all the festivities. From this part of the year, there is no stopping us, we have had Eid celebration, already , rakhee, Krishna jayanthi , and soon navrathri , and diwali to  follow. And I have not even mentioned the number of engagements, sangeeths, baaraths, and weddings that has been lined up during the latter part of the year. So Mehendi has queued up for you a whole array of options to decide on the sort of wedding details you would like to choose from. Exclusive features on destinations, bright and bold sarees from Jeyachendra textiles. Dedicated pages of an excellent array of jewellery options to choose from. We have on as our Cover girl the spunky  Vishaka Singh, fresh from her many bollywood successes, we have seen her in Fukrey, Ankur Arora Murder case, and her latest offering in Bajate Raho. Vishaka features in our cover story “Vibrant hues”, flaunting the various sides to the same persona.

Gear up to enjoy the every moment of a grand Indian wedding , be it Punjabi, Bengali or Malayali, and whatever role you play, of that the Bride, bridesmaid or friend, make sure you Shine through, and we help you do just that .... Cheers!

The beginning of every Fairy tale is a long winding road paved with turbulence and encounters, the celebrated end is anything but a walk in the park. If there is one word which encapsulates my feeling in these past two years of our journey it would be Challenging. Each issue our team and I scour for ideas, possibilities and new boundaries. It is all exhilarating, inspiring and more often than not a search for light bulb moments. Our 2nd Anniversary issue is exactly that, a fairy tale journey. We have gone through it all the poisoned apple, the evil Step Mother, the Huntsmen and even down the Rabbit hole, through it all Mehendi is now 2, emerged just like a fairy tale Princess.
We have the Spunky and gorgeous new star Priya Anand the Princess Apparent as our cover girl and gracing our pages as the effervescent fairy tale princess. From the days I have known her as a young girl who moved from the US to pursue a career in acting, Priya herself has emerged as the rising Star of not just kollywood but now flutters through in Bollywoods Tinsel town. She held fort in the successful English Vinglish alongside the lgendary Sridevi. Breezed through Rangrezz and now awaits her new release in Farhan Akhtar’s production FUKREY.
Mehendi talks to Bollywoods Darling stylist turned designer Manish Malhotra in an all exclusive interview. The designer who stars swear by to make them look Picture Perfect talks to us on bridal couture and the latest trends in Bridal wear. Conversing with Ash kumar the International Mehendi  artist  who also holds the Guiness world record was quite a revelation in the  in Mehendi art. These are only icing on this power issue, where we also have an exclusive photo features, on both Ethnic and Western Men’s trends.
