Going Green, One Stitch At A Time by Anushka Sharma Going Green, One Stitch At A Time 24 April 2023 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Isha Nabar’s sense of fashion is eternal, because it is ethical. The very multi-talented fashion designer “Isha Nabar” uses a variety of hand stitched techniques on the hand woven fabric of khadi to do her bit for the betterment of the environment. Isha , an accomplished fashion designer of Indian origin, is based in New York and commenced with her multi-disciplinary learning at the Parsons School of Design, New York. Her niches of interest included fashion, business and jewellery design, the knowledge of which has actually given her quite an edge as a designer. Her much discussed initiative, ‘Charkhara’ (colloquially translated as wheel - 'Charkha' and green - 'Hara') is based on the design of a sustainable garment that is completely hand-stitched, through the usage of a hand spun fabric that is ‘Khadi’. This fabric, constituted of natural fibre, has played a significant role in the cultural, political, and socio-economic past of the country as many of us know. It was introduced by Mahatma Gandhi during the colonial rule in India, when he himself spun the yarn on the wheel to instil a sense of self-reliance amongst people. Khadi is since then spun on the ‘Charkha’ (the spinning wheel on which the yarn is hand spun.) The Charkha, with 24 spokes, which is also present on the Indian flag, is a symbolic representation of the hours of the day and the value of time. Taking this forward, Isha’s garment has 24 unique joinery techniques which beautifully acknowledge the efforts of those who spin the wheel painstakingly for 24 hours a day. The key intention behind this initiative is to avoid the use of machinery altogether in order to make a truly sustainable garment. She has therefore innovated these non-intrusive and hand crafted joinery systems of a wheel and a coin - a ‘paisa’ (equivalent to a penny) to construct the entire piece. One can spin the wheel to adjust the fit of the garment, while pulling closer the coin. The ‘paisa’ is meant to be a reminder of the minimal wages of the artisans. Isha explains “With this project, I hope to raise awareness on the khadi fabric, the negligible pay of the khadi artisans and the laborious process of hand spinning this fabric.” She wants to increase its perceived value and shift the mind-sets of the audience to more conscious consumption for a greener tomorrow. By using a hand woven fabric like khadi, along with specialised hand stitched techniques, she brings to the forefront the possibility of a process that is entirely sustainable in not only producing a garment but also in its end use. Her thoughtful and intentional design now lends the wearer the possibility of draping the exquisite Khadi fabric in multiple stunning and fashion-forward forms of outerwear. Isha’s design is disruptive, shows brilliance in its concept, is innovative and most importantly, has a deep emphasis towards responsible fashion. In a complex and evolving industry, ‘Charkhara’ is a conversation starter and clearly representative of her unique and novice design ideology, which is going beyond the mere aesthetics and functionality of fashion. It also explores the realm of sustainable material development and empowers the artisanal communities. Isha’s superlative skills, technical expertise and intelligence is well displayed in the complex joinery system which holds the fabric together. The final outcome was an outstanding, one-of-a-kind couture piece, born from the harmonising generational heritage with some unmistakably luxurious silhouettes, whilst carrying a profound message. This collection stays true to the roots of Khadi, thus retaining its rawness and presenting itself as an exhibit that is earthy and tonal. “The fabric itself is so well-worked, I wanted to let it shine and give it the stage it deserves” Isha tells us. There is nothing more captivating in fashion than the synergy of a sense of play and a purpose, which Isha has exuded graciously! She brings a point of view to the table that is rare to come by. Ironically maximizing a sense of purpose within a minimalistic framework, ‘Charkhara’ tells a story of rich artistry in a way that repositions the Khadi fabric with refinement and finesse. Isha is internationally recognized for her distinctive skills and ingenious design thinking, resulting in her bagging the AATCC Foundation Jasani Textile Scholarship and being a finalist for UK’s Creative Conscience Award. Isha has also worked with fashion houses like Tanya Taylor, Oscar de la Renta and Derek Lam in New York and Masaba and Vogue in India, giving her global exposure and fuelling her creativity as an artist. She is a new age designer to watch out for with her aesthetic sensibilities, critical thinking and views on a greener tomorrow. And she believes in getting there one stitch at a time!

Shriya Saran Speaks Fondly Of Her Relationship With Her Loving Daughter, Radha by Aparajita Jaiswal Shriya Saran Speaks Fondly Of Her Relationship With Her Loving Daughter, Radha 22 February 2023 COVER STORIES Advertisement Shriya Saran, an Indian actress who works predominantly in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi-language films though aspired to become a well-known dancer, she became an actress with her film debut in 2001 with the Telugu film Ishtam, and had her first commercial success with Nuvve Nuvve. Saran subsequently appeared in several more Telugu films alongside Hindi and Tamil films. In addition to her work in films, Saran has been the brand ambassador for brands across India, endorsing beauty and health products. She was also the brand ambassador for Celebrity Cricket League for its first two seasons. Shriya Saran is a versatile actress with a standing in multiple film industries, having done films in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, English, Malayalam and Kannada. We are all looking forward to her upcoming projects, Kazaa with Upendra and Sudeep, Music school with Sharman Joshi and a show with Dharma. In a Candid interview with Aparajita Jaiswal she relays how grateful she is to be a part of cinema and having lived in a country that is so beautifully united even though we have such diverse cultures and inhabit disparate worlds of thought. She talks about taking a flight from Delhi to Hyderabad and how that experience changed her life, opening her to a range of cultures and then eventually learning multiple languages including Tamil. “This journey has taught me everything that I am today and it has made me stronger. It has made me understand the power of cinema and how beautiful it is. I’m so grateful that I’m part of cinema. Also, I feel it’s beautiful how language changes the flavour of people. Every language has a different sense of humour and different ways of telling stories but one thing that unites cinema is that one ‘camera’ that we act for and that one ‘action and take’. It’s magic that happens and that’s what makes us alive. I am so grateful I’m part of the cinema.” Shriya Saran speaks about her experience working with Ajay Devgn, one of Bollywood’s gems and a legend. “With Ajay Devgan, I have worked in Drishyam 1, Drishyam 2 and RRR. Thankfully with Krishna’s blessings, they have all been very big hits. It was a pleasure working with someone as trained and as articulate as he is. He lights up the camera, he lights up the screen and he’s a very giving actor. He speaks with his eyes and expresses so beautifully with his eyes. He’s a wonderful actor. He gives a lot to the actor he works with too. It’s just amazing to work with him.” Today’s world and today’s cinema is perceivably about beauty and the visual arts. Shriya talks about going back to her pre-pregnancy shape, being a public figure. “It’s a visual medium and I’m an actor. Visually, everything has to be perfect when I’m on stage and when I’m in front of the camera. So, there is the stress of losing weight and today, we live in an Instagram world where everything has to be perfect. There are filters and what not. I feel like it’s about the pressure that you put on yourself today. Today, I’m very respectful of my body and I love what my body has done for me. I’m very grateful for it, I’m very grateful to Krishna for my body and for my health. I’m moving towards being healthy, doing a lot of yoga, dance and kathak. It’s more about competing with my own self and being a better version of myself than trying to look like somebody else.” Therapy for mental health issues amongst men and women in today's age and climate is a must and a rising issue. Shriya Saran comes forward to speak more about it. “I think that it is very interesting that mental health is being addressed, thanks to a lot of people. Somebody who really came forward and spoke a lot about it is Deepika Padukone and then Alia Bhatt’s own sister spoke about it. I was talking to Ishaan and his wife spoke a lot about it. So, a lot of people who talked about it were more honest about what they were feeling before it was supposed to be not cool to talk about it but now it’s more normalized and I’m very grateful to all the beautiful people who came out and spoke about mental health.” Shriya Saran also talks about women empowerment and how it should be about equality more than anything else. “I think women empowerment for me is all about getting equal rights for women and men and respect. Just giving us equal opportunities and actually stop asking questions like ‘How will you work now that you are with child?’ Or ‘How will you work now that you are married?’. Just creating a space which is very favourable and easy for women to work.” Women empowerment means strengthening women with all the rights of social, economic, and educational needs. It is to create an environment having no gender inequality for women. It is to empower them with equal rights in the family, society, community, and workplace. Everyone loves seeing Shriya and her relationship with Radha on her Instagram. She speaks very fondly of her as she says, “‘The mother’ has changed everything in me. Radha is everything to me. She’s my life, she’s my sunshine. I see her feet on the sand when she runs and when she touches water, her little fingers and she says these little little words: ‘Mama’, ‘Papa’. It’s just beautiful, every day’s a new day. I love her. She’s making me a better person. I love my work more now and I feel like today, I want to make her proud and everyday I’m at work, I’m on the set, I want to make her proud. I want her to watch my films one day and say ‘I love what you’ve done, Mama. I’m very proud of you.’" SEARCH A Journey Shaped By Courage, Creativity, And Social Media With Aditi Sharma COVER STORIES Inner Joy Trails My Inspiration : A Candid Conversation With The Creative Anushka Kaushik COVER STORIES Barkha Singh’s candid candour makes the way to an eye-catching interview COVER STORIES Educate, Empower, Excel: Priyanka Chahar Choudhary's Inspirational Overture COVER STORIES Waluscha De Sousa On Being Her ‘True Self’ And Going On The Dream Journey COVER STORIES POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement By Shriniwas Kodape The Eternal Strings Of Amaan & Ayaan Ali Bangash 4 October 2025 COVER STORIES By Anurag Sen Vivian Dsena: The Fluke Star Who Became Television’s Undying Heartthrob 25 September 2025 COVER STORIES By Ananya Patankar Unscripted, Unstoppable: The Many Lives Of Christine Gulasatree 22 August 2025 COVER STORIES By Ananya Patankar Off Script, On Truth: Anshumaan Pushkar In His Own Words 30 June 2025 COVER STORIES RELATED POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement

Shadows & Silk: Bunny Nana’s Aw Romance In Bangkok By Ananya Patankar Shadows & Silk: Bunny Nana’s Aw Romance In Bangkok 9 July 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Crafting Bespoke Elegance: From Hong Kong to Thailand’s Runway Muted dove gray and structured elegance meet in this tailored overcoat, redefining winter wear with bridal precision and couture restraint: that’s how Bunny Nana took over the runway. Bunny Nana, hailing from Hong Kong, has long championed the art of made-to-measure elegance. Best known for its bespoke bridal and evening wear, the brand merges impeccable craftsmanship with a poetic sense of storytelling. Every gown, every seam, is designed to celebrate individuality—quietly luxurious, deeply personal, and effortlessly romantic. This season, stepping away from ornate tradition and into a more nuanced, textural world, Bunny Nana brought its signature grace to Thailand Fashion Week , unveiling an Autumn/Winter collection that whispered sophistication in every thread. Nana’s Autumn/Winter collection leaned into the language of fabric—where texture replaced embellishment, and movement spoke louder than metallics. Sumptuous silks, brushed satins, and fluid crepe took center stage, each selected for how it draped, caught light, or responded to motion. The palette stayed understated—ivory, dove grey, soft charcoal—allowing the quality of the textiles to command attention. There was a quiet luxury in the restraint: no sequins, no excess—just folds, flow, and finish. Whether it was a structured wool-blend coat with architectural shoulders or a silk gown that swept the floor like mist, every piece was a tactile experience. In a world often obsessed with embellishment, Bunny Nana’s choice to let fabric lead was both a design philosophy and a statement of confidence—showing that true romance can live in simplicity. This collection paid attention to making a statement, one which voices that silhouettes can stir emotions. The runway unfolded with opulent gowns that moved like whispered secrets—draped silk and crepe forming liquid lines that trailed behind the model like memory. Off-shoulder necklines revealed delicate collarbones, while subtle pleats added softness without overwhelming the structure. Contrasting this ethereality were moments of architectural clarity: tailored outerwear in sculpted wool, with clean shoulders and cinched waists that nodded to bridal corsetry without feeling constrained. Flowing capes, some sheer and others fully lined, created a cinematic sense of motion—part cloak, part veil. This interplay between form and fluidity, control and release, defined the collection’s romance. Each look felt personal, like a silhouette designed to echo its wearer’s energy. Whether worn for a winter ceremony or an evening affair, these shapes were less about trend and more about timeless emotional design. Each look was crafted to instill a feeling, stir emotions of romance, gracefulness and echo timelessness. This collection felt right at home within Bangkok’s refined fashion landscape—one that increasingly favors elegance with intention. The label’s commitment to craftsmanship and quiet beauty aligned effortlessly with the event’s broader celebration of Asian minimalism. In a sea of spectacle, Bunny Nana’s subdued grandeur stood out, not by demanding attention, but by rewarding it. Each look moved with purpose, echoing the cultural value placed on grace, poise, and personalization. The show felt less like a presentation and more like a procession of living portraits—each garment tailored not just in cut, but in spirit. In a region where storytelling is intrinsic to design, Bunny Nana’s narrative of bespoke romance resonated deeply, making it one of the most poetic highlights of the week. Bunny Nana’s Autumn/Winter collection wasn’t just a seasonal offering—it was a quiet revolution in how romance can be worn. With restraint as its canvas and craftsmanship as its voice, the brand delivered a story that lingered long after the final look. In a world chasing spectacle, Bunny Nana reminded us of the power in subtlety. Because sometimes, the softest silhouettes leave the strongest impression.

by Priti Sharma by Priti Sharma Life Changing Trips Everyone Should Experience At Least Once 15 February 2023 TRAVEL Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement A vacation is usually an excellent idea. It's never a terrible thing to switch up your surroundings and put work aside for a few days, no matter where you're going. However bizarre it may sound, becoming bored when on vacation is possible. I'll give you an illustration: You're not taking full benefit of travel if your yearly vacation involves going to the same little beach town every summer, where you stay in the same lodgings and dine at the same eateries. It's good to return to a location that seems familiar, but discovering new things is one of the most delicate parts of traveling. It's a chance to venture beyond your comfort zone and experience sights, sounds, and tastes that are unavailable to you at home. If you're ready to try something different the next time you go OOO, let us give you some ideas. We've put up a list of 11 amazing journeys that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. You can cross these off your bucket list when you go on your next journey. 1. Hike in a National Park One of the finest ways to see the natural beauty that can be found right here in the United States is to visit a national park. It's hardly surprising that tourists from all over the world flock to these locations given the abundance of animals, magnificent natural features, and unrivaled stargazing. Make it a point to visit at least one (but ideally many!) of the 63 national parks that are dispersed around the nation during your lifetime. The Grand Canyon, Rocky Mountains, Yellowstone, and Glacier are just a handful of the amazing places that should be on your bucket list. 2. Visit Paris Romance, creativity, fashion, and cuisine. Although Paris sells them throughout the year, the Salon du Chocolat is when they are highlighted. The top chocolatiers, confectioners, and cocoa specialists in the world celebrate unique flavors and innovations every fall. Paris is usually an excellent option because of its iconic architecture, world-class museums, and delectable cuisine, to name a few. It's a city that everyone must see at least once. Visit Paris for the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre; stay for the city's quaint sidewalk cafés, outdoor markets, and stunning parks. 3. Head to a Tropical Beach Nothing screams leisure like sprawling out on a beach with a fruity cocktail in your hand and the crystal blue sea out in front of you. A leisurely trip to the tropics can be exactly what you need if you're used to holidays that are jam-packed with activities. With places like Hawaii, Tahiti, the Maldives, or of countless Caribbean islands, you can't go wrong. 4. Experience an African Safari The experience of viewing lions, giraffes, and elephants in their natural habitats is incomparable to visiting a zoo. One of those once-in-a-lifetime events that you must actually experience is an African safari. You will experience incredible animals and scenery that you won't find anywhere else on the globe while being led by a local expert. Start your vacation in one of the top-rated safari locations, such as Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania, or South Africa. 5. Take a Tour of Italy It is impossible to choose just one Italy location to check off your bucket list because of the country's diverse landscapes and rich history, including Rome, Tuscany, and the sparkling Almafi Coast. The greatest way to experience it is as a complete. Italy's train system, fortunately, makes it simple to travel the whole length of the nation. 6. See the Big Apple Nothing compares to New York City. It serves as the famous backdrop for several films and TV series and serves as a representation of a great deal of American culture. Of course, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, and the Brooklyn Bridge are all must-see features, but what will make you fall in love with New York is its different neighborhoods, indie eateries, and hidden-gem boutiques. 7. Spot the Northern Lights A little price to pay for some wind and snow is the chance to view the Northern Lights, which involves enduring Arctic conditions. The stunning light show may be seen in places like northern Canada, Alaska, Iceland, Finland, and Norway, despite the fact that the phenomenon is notoriously hard to spot. 8. Road Trip Across the Country Even though flying is frequently the more convenient choice, a road vacation includes travel as a component of the experience. It provides you the chance to eat quickly in quaint rural towns or take photographs at tacky roadside sights en route to your destination. Additionally, you never know when you'll find a fantastic location that wasn't on your schedule. Therefore, inflate your tires, pack the car, and don't forget to bring a tonne of goodies. 9. Visit One of the Seven World Wonders The seven wonders must be included on each traveler's bucket list. Any one of these wonders is certainly worth the trek across the globe; they are among the most amazing human-built buildings ever made. Choose from the Taj Mahal, the Taj Mahal, the Great Wall of China, the Colosseum, Chichén Itzá, Christ the Redeemer, Machu Picchu, and Chichén Itzá. 10. Explore Australia Australia is a place that is genuinely unique. It has famous landmarks like the Great Barrier Reef and the Sydney Opera House, as well as a broad range of animals that are unique to this continent (think kangaroos, koalas, and wallabies). Australia provides an experience for everyone, with everything from humming cities and sandy beaches to deep jungles and alpine summits. 11. Eat Your Way Through Southeast Asia Southeast Asia, which includes nations like Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines, is unquestionably a culinary lover's dream. The area offers so many mouthwatering delicacies that it would be hard to sample them all, and it boasts some of the greatest street cuisines on the whole globe. In addition, the region is rather affordable for travel (and very well-liked among backpackers! ), making it possible to see several nations in one journey. What's next on your travel list? With so many places worth traveling to, it can be hard to narrow down your top spots to visit. Sometimes what draws us to a place are the well-known sights, delectable cuisine, and luxurious hotels, and other times it's the bragging rights that come with seeing every continent, nation, or state. Whatever your reason, we've compiled a list of 11 extraordinary journeys that include once-in-a-lifetime encounters and renowned sites that are unique to each location. What then qualifies a vacation as really transformative? One thing is certain, though: After reading this list of iconic road trips and African safaris, you'll be itching to start planning your next big journey.

A Rebellious Beginning: The Birth Of The Audi 100 In the mid-1960s, Auto Union GmbH, the company behind the Audi brand, faced a stifling mandate. Volkswagenwerk AG, having taken control of Auto Union, prohibited the development of new models, relegating Audi to the mere production of existing designs. But Ludwig Kraus, then Technical Director of Auto Union, had other ideas. He envisioned a mid-range model—a car that would not only secure the future of the Audi brand but also redefine its identity. Against orders, Kraus and his team began developing the Audi 100 in secret. It was an act of defiance driven by foresight—a belief that Audi's survival depended on innovation. When the prototype was finally revealed, it impressed even the sceptics in Wolfsburg. Kraus's gamble paid off. Production of the Audi 100 commenced in 1968, and it wasn't long before the model became a resounding success. Demand quickly outstripped the capacity of the Ingolstadt plant, prompting production to expand to Neckarsulm in 1970. The numbers spoke for themselves: 800,000 units of the first-generation Audi 100 were sold, setting the stage for a model that would come to define Audi's philosophy of "Vorsprung durch Technik"—progress through technology. Golden Wheels And Global Acclaim Over its four generations, the Audi 100 didn't just sell—it triumphed! It claimed the prestigious Golden Steering Wheel five times, earned the title "Car of the Year" twice, and was crowned "World Car of the Year" by automotive journalists once. The success was not just in accolades but in sheer popularity, as 3.2 million Audi 100s found homes around the world. What made the Audi 100 extraordinary was its continuous innovation. From pioneering fully galvanized bodies that defied rust to flawless aerodynamic designs that enhanced both performance and efficiency, the model consistently pushed boundaries. Its highly efficient engines set new benchmarks, while the car's spaciousness and refinement redefined expectations for mid-range luxury sedans. The Evolution: From Audi 100 To Audi A6 By 1994, the torch passed to a new name—the Audi A6—but the spirit of innovation remained. Each generation of the A6 is built upon the legacy of its predecessor, introducing cutting-edge technologies, advanced safety features, and unparalleled comfort. From quattro all-wheel-drive systems to the integration of digital connectivity, the A6 became synonymous with progressive luxury. Today, the Audi A6 stands as a testament to nearly six decades of evolution. The exhibition at Neckarsulm celebrates this rich history, showcasing nine iconic variants of the Audi 100 alongside eight generations of the Audi A6. Among them, each car tells a unique story—the "first one" that defied corporate constraints, the "globetrotter" that conquered international markets, the "feat of spaciousness" that redefined comfort, and the "supreme one"—the 2024 Audi RS6 Avant GT. A New Chapter: The Ninth Generation As history has shown, Audi never rests on its laurels. On March 4, the world will witness the next chapter—the unveiling of the ninth-generation Audi A6 Avant. This new iteration promises to continue the legacy of technological leadership, luxurious refinement, and the daring spirit that first propelled Ludwig Kraus to defy expectations in the 1960s. From secret sketches in Ingolstadt to global acclaim, the journey of the Audi 100 and its successor, the Audi A6, is more than just an automotive success story—it's a testament to the power of vision, courage, and unwavering pursuit of excellence. The road ahead remains as promising as ever—and if history has taught us anything, it's that Audi will continue to lead it.

These Fashion Trends Are Literally Scary For Your Health By Anushka Sharma These Fashion Trends Are Literally Scary For Your Health 1 April 2024 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Fashion is like a thrilling roller coaster ride, isn't it? It's full of twists, turns, and unexpected surprises. However, did you know that some of those surprises lurking in your closet might not be so fun after all? Buckle up, because we're about to uncover the hidden dangers of fast fashion and trendy accessories. Fast fashion is like the speedy Gonzales of the clothing world. It churns out cheap clothes faster than you can say "fashion emergency." But here's the catch: those super affordable threads often come with a not-so-pleasant side effect. They're loaded with chemicals that can irritate your skin and even cause health issues. Think of it like wearing a toxic soup – definitely not a good look! Now, let's talk about everyone's favorite footwear: sneakers. They're comfy, stylish, and practically a fashion staple these days. But did you know that wearing sneakers too much can mess with your feet? Yep, it's true! They can throw off your posture and even lead to painful foot problems. So, while you're busy rocking those kicks, your poor feet might be silently screaming for a break. And then there are waist trainers – those trendy contraptions designed to give you that coveted hourglass figure. Sounds great, right? Well, not exactly. Sure, they might help you cinch your waist, but they can also wreak havoc on your body. From messing with your appetite to causing serious breathing issues, waist trainers are like the fashion equivalent of a tight squeeze. But let's not forget about the accessories, because they come with their own set of dangers too. Heavy earrings might look glam, but they can actually stretch out your earlobes or even cause them to split. Ouch! And those ill-fitting thongs? They can rub you the wrong way and leave you feeling seriously uncomfortable. So, what's a fashion-forward individual to do in a world full of wardrobe woes? Well, for starters, it's important to be mindful of what you're putting on your body. Opt for clothes made from natural materials whenever possible, and steer clear of anything that feels scratchy or uncomfortable. When it comes to footwear, choose shoes that offer both style and support. And don't forget to give your feet a break every now and then – they deserve it! As for accessories, go easy on the heavy earrings and make sure your thongs fit just right. And most importantly, listen to your body. If something doesn't feel right, don't ignore it. Fashion should be fun and fabulous, not hazardous to your health. So, the next time you're getting dressed, remember to put safety first. After all, there's nothing more stylish than taking care of yourself!

Vivian Dsena: The Fluke Star Who Became Television’s Undying Heartthrob By Anurag Sen Vivian Dsena: The Fluke Star Who Became Television’s Undying Heartthrob 25 September 2025 COVER STORIES Advertisement The first thing Vivian Dsena tells you is that he never wanted to be an actor. “I am the biggest fluke television industry has ever received,” he laughs, recalling how it all started. A modeling career had placed him in front of cameras, but acting was never the plan. Fate, however, had its own script. One day, while accompanying a friend to an audition, he ended up reading lines himself. That audition landed in the hands of Balaji Telefilms , and before he knew it, he was cast as Vicky Valia. What began as a coincidence quickly became destiny, and the boy who never dreamt of acting became one of television’s most enduring names. Over the years, Vivian has carried many characters on his shoulders, each with its own light and shadow. But he is careful about what he takes home with him. “Even if I carry something from a character, it better be a good part,” he says. For him, every role is both a lesson and a mirror, sometimes teaching what to do, and sometimes what never to repeat. This conscious separation between reel and real has kept him both grounded and versatile. Grounded, in fact, is a word that defines Vivian. He guards his privacy fiercely, even as his fame continues to grow. For him, humility is a constant reminder. “No matter what you achieve, no matter what you become, you are still not even a dot compared to the universe,” he reflects. His journey and experiences have taught him not to take himself too seriously, a wisdom that allows him to move through the highs and lows of the entertainment industry with calm assurance. When asked about inspirations, Vivian doesn’t point to a single towering figure. Instead, his perspective is broad and inclusive. “Inspiration is all around,” he says simply. From the people he meets while traveling to the talents he observes across industries, Vivian believes that every encounter offers a spark. Perhaps that is why he remains adaptable, open to growth, and curious about the worlds beyond his own. Fans often wonder which role left the deepest mark on him. Vivian’s answer is thoughtful. For him, there isn’t just one. Every role, he says, carries something valuable. Some characters gift him qualities worth cherishing, while others act as cautionary tales. Either way, his career has been a classroom, each project another lesson in life and craft. Interestingly, if given a blank canvas to design his dream character, Vivian knows exactly what he would choose. “A vampire and a rock star,” he grins. The thought of him exploring such roles excites his imagination, hinting at an actor who is far from done experimenting. As for Bollywood or OTT? Fans have long speculated about his entry into films or web series. Vivian is honest in his response. “I never had a Bollywood dream,” he admits. Content with his television journey, he feels no pressure to chase a bigger screen. But he leaves the door slightly ajar with a teasing hint about OTT platforms: “Very soon.” If there is one driving force behind Vivian’s career, it is his fans. “It is only the fans,” he emphasizes. Their love, he says, doesn’t burden him with pressure; it motivates him to outdo himself each time. Every project, for him, is an offering to the people who have stood by him unwaveringly. “Whatever I am today is because of my fans,” he declares, certain that his next step will not disappoint them. With a twinkle of mischief, he adds that his fans already have an idea about what is coming next. For young dreamers aspiring to enter the chaotic, glittering world of entertainment, Vivian leaves them with one truth: never give up. The industry is unpredictable, success fleeting, but perseverance is the only way through. His own journey, born from a chance audition, is proof that destiny favors the persistent. From fluke to phenomenon, Vivian Dsena ’s story reads like the kind of script you don’t see coming. An actor who stumbled into the spotlight but stayed because of sheer talent, grit, and an army of fans who refuse to let him fade. In a world where stardom often feels manufactured, Vivian remains refreshingly real, reminding everyone that sometimes the best stories are the ones you never planned to tell.

By Teyana Sharma By Teyana Sharma The Glow Protocol: Why The Face Shop’s Collagen & Pomegranate Serum is My Vanity Essential 27 November 2025 BEAUTY Advertisement Advertisement People often ask me, "Teyana, what actually stays on your vanity?" In my role as an Editor, my home is a revolving door of products promising miracles. It takes something truly special to cut through the noise—something that delivers both the clinical results I demand and the sensory experience I crave. Recently, my narrative changed when I introduced The Face Shop Collagen & Pomegranate Serum with Hyaluronic Acid into my routine. Come in; let me show you why this bottle has become a permanent resident in my life. Image credit: @thewildstallionstudios Beauty is personal, but great skincare is universal. When I first held this serum, I was drawn to the promise of "Volume Lifting." As an editor constantly on camera or in meetings, I don't just want hydration; I want resilience. I want that bounce back. This bottle felt like a promise of vitality before I even opened it. My home is filled with greenery because I believe in the grounding power of nature. I treat my skincare the same way. This serum fits perfectly into my "clean beauty" corner, drawing its power from natural extracts while still delivering scientific results. The star here is obvious. We aren't just talking about a hint of fruit; this is powered by Pomegranate Extract and 10% Collagen, paired with Hyaluronic Acid for that deep, water-locking hydration. It’s the perfect marriage of lush nature and firming science. I keep it right here by my sink, next to the real thing. It serves as a daily visual reminder of the potent, vibrant ingredients I’m feeding my skin—antioxidants to brighten and collagen to firm. Image credit: @thewildstallionstudios The application process is where I truly fell in love. It’s a few minutes of the day I claim entirely for myself. It begins with the click of the cap. The packaging is sleek, hygienic, and designed to protect the integrity of the active ingredients inside. Precision is key. One pump dispenses the perfect dose. You can see the concentration right there on the nozzle—rich and ready to work. Look at that texture on my skin. It’s not a watery essence that disappears, nor is it a heavy, suffocating cream. It’s a beautifully viscous, milky serum that holds its shape, promising deep nourishment upon contact. Image credit: @thewildstallionstudios As I massage it during my morning routine, the absorption is instantaneous. There’s no tacky residue—just a feeling of instant plumpness thanks to the Hyaluronic Acid. It’s the hydration step my skin actually looks forward to. After a few weeks of consistent use, I started noticing the "lift." The contours of my face felt firmer, and my under-eyes looked less tired. It’s become my secret weapon for faking a full eight hours of sleep. It puts the sparkle back in my eyes. Image credit: @thewildstallionstudios An editor’s life is rarely stationary. Whether I'm heading to fashion week or a weekend retreat, my packing edit is ruthless. The Face Shop Collagen & Pomegranate Serum is one of the first things into my travel pouch. Cabin pressure and hotel air are notoriously dehydrating; this is my insurance policy against dull travel skin. When the chaotic day is done, the bright lights of the bathroom are replaced by the soft, warm glow of my bedroom lamps. This is when my skin does its heavy lifting. I slip into my favorite cozy knitwear and take a moment of pause before my nighttime routine. Holding this bottle signifies the end of the work day and the beginning of rest. I revisit the serum for my evening application. It’s comforting, locking in moisture while I sleep so I wake up refreshed, not depleted. Image credit: @thewildstallionstudios The proof, as they say, is in the glow. This isn't makeup; this is bare skin luminescence. The Face Shop Collagen & Pomegranate Serum with Hyaluronic Acid has gifted my skin a bouncier texture and a radiance that feels deeply healthy, rather than just surface-level shiny. It’s a permanent fixture in my home, and on my face.
