Femina - March 2024

I denne utgaven

Leafing through this issue will do wonders for your spirits, especially looking at this gorgeous cover featuring Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Samantha’s had a hell of a journey to get to where she is, and this shoot says it all. The power. The strength. She’s taking up space… something we, as women, must do. Read all about how she’s dealt with setbacks, challenges, and navigated life to superstardom in our cover story.

This entire issue is an homage to women, especially towards their acts of courage, big and small. We’d go so far as to say that there isn’t a gauge to measure bravery. We’ve profiled women who, for many different reasons, decided to strike out and do something different with their lives. From stuntwomen to doctors, read about them in The big story. We also strolled through the interiors of Maharashtra to capture women in their elements. These pictures, on our pages, signify strenght, determination and the spirit of womanhood. Our fashion spreads hightlights journey and achievements of fashion entrepreneurs while pages of beauty are all about summer love. All this and more in this power-packed issue.
