Femina - May - June 2025

Bu konuda

Summer doesn’t always come with an out-of-office. Sometimes, it comes with frizz, fatigue, and a fierce need to keep going. This issue is for those powering through – sweaty, occasionally sluggish, but still showing up for Zoom calls, life, and themselves.

Our cover star, Disha Patani, lives this rhythm – a mix of grit and grace. From martial arts at dawn to planning an Antarctic adventure, she’s proof that discipline and chill can coexist.

We dive into dadi-approved summer hacks, K-beauty essentials, and mango magic from chef Aruna Vijay. Plus, we spotlight women who mother by choice, and celebrate those who nurture in every season.

This isn’t your escape-from-it-all issue. It’s your keep-it-together-with-style guide. Here’s to adapting, staying cool, and acing the season – one sip of hydration and one hit of SPF at a time

Something About Her

Whether it's a training session with her martial arts mentors, snuggling with her six pets on a Sunday morning, or plotting her next Antarctic adventure, DISHA PATANI is guided by both intuition and discipline.
