Vitiligo's Representation In Fashion By Anushka Sharma Vitiligo's Representation In Fashion 15 March 2024 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement In recent years, the fashion industry has made significant strides in embracing diversity and inclusivity, challenging traditional beauty standards and celebrating individuality. One of the most notable shifts has been the increased representation of individuals with vitiligo, a skin condition characterized by the loss of pigment in certain areas of the skin, resulting in white patches. Historically, the fashion industry has been criticized for its narrow portrayal of beauty, often favoring models with flawless, uniform skin tones. However, in a welcome departure from this norm, many fashion brands and designers have begun to cast models with vitiligo, recognizing the unique beauty and strength they bring to the runway. One of the pioneers in promoting vitiligo representation in fashion is the late model Winnie Harlow. Discovered on the hit television show "America's Next Top Model," Harlow has since become a prominent figure in the fashion world, using her platform to raise awareness about vitiligo and advocate for greater inclusivity in the industry. Her success has inspired other models with vitiligo to pursue careers in fashion, breaking down barriers and challenging perceptions along the way. Fashion brands have also played a crucial role in promoting diversity by featuring models with vitiligo in their campaigns and runway shows. From high-end luxury labels to mainstream retailers, brands are increasingly embracing models of all skin types and colors, reflecting the diverse spectrum of beauty in society. Beyond the runway, vitiligo representation in fashion has also extended to advertising and marketing campaigns. Major beauty brands have featured models with vitiligo in their advertisements, sending a powerful message of acceptance and empowerment to consumers around the world. These campaigns not only promote diversity but also help to destigmatize skin conditions like vitiligo, encouraging individuals to embrace their unique characteristics with confidence. In addition to fostering greater representation, the fashion industry has also seen a rise in the creation of clothing lines specifically designed for individuals with vitiligo. These lines often feature garments with innovative designs and color-blocking techniques, helping individuals with vitiligo to feel more comfortable and confident in their clothing choices. Furthermore, the rise of social media has provided a platform for individuals with vitiligo to share their stories and connect with others who may be experiencing similar challenges. Through platforms like Instagram and YouTube, influencers and advocates with vitiligo have been able to amplify their voices, raising awareness and promoting acceptance in the fashion community and beyond. While progress has undoubtedly been made, there is still much work to be done to ensure that individuals with vitiligo are fully represented and included in the fashion industry. This includes not only increasing visibility on the runway and in advertising but also advocating for greater accessibility and inclusivity in the design and production of clothing. In conclusion, vitiligo's representation in fashion marks a significant step forward in the ongoing journey towards greater diversity and inclusivity. By celebrating the beauty of individuality and challenging traditional beauty standards, the fashion industry has the power to inspire change and foster a more inclusive society for all.

By Sakshi Shah TRAVEL Where Stillness Finds You: Inside Lakeside Boheme Inn By Sakshi Shah 14 April 2026 Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Tucked away in the lush greens of Khopoli, Lakeside Boheme Inn feels less like a destination and more like a quiet shift in pace. Rooted in the idea of conscious luxury, it offers an experience that feels immersive and intentional, where comfort exists in harmony with nature rather than standing apart from it. Spread across a 70-acre estate with private lakes, waterfalls, and dense greenery, the space feels expansive yet personal. The moment you step in, there’s a pause. The noise fades, the air feels lighter, and you find yourself slowing down without even trying. Born during the stillness of 2020, the retreat came from a deeply personal intention to share what was once a private escape. That sense of authenticity continues to shape the experience. Nothing feels overly designed or forced. Instead, the space unfolds intuitively, much like the landscape it sits on. The idea of Bohemian here goes beyond design. It reflects a way of living that is free, unstructured, and rooted in being present. The architecture mirrors this thought, blending rustic textures with open, breathable spaces that let nature lead, creating comfort that feels thoughtful rather than excessive. The lakeside plays a central role in shaping the mood. Mornings begin with still water and soft light, while the day flows into slow activities like kayaking or simply sitting by the edge. It’s calming in a way that feels effortless and uncurated. As you settle in, the stays reveal themselves as an extension of this philosophy. There’s a mix to choose from, depending on how you want to experience the space. The villas , including Boho House and House of Bohemian, are ideal for longer, shared stays, offering spacious layouts, private pools, and a more secluded, easy kind of comfort. Following this, the property also introduces its newly launched luxury line, adding a more elevated layer to the experience. With details like private jacuzzis, warm interiors, and open views of the lake, the stays feel thoughtfully put together without taking away from the natural setting. Mornings here unfold slowly, with the stillness of the water and soft light adding a quiet sense of luxury that feels deeply connected to nature. For something simpler, the rooms carry forward the warmth of the original homestay, with cozy interiors and easy access to the outdoors. If you’re drawn to something more offbeat, the glamping tents and Boho-style tents bring in that outdoor-living experience with added comfort, while container-style stays offer a more design-forward edge. What makes the space feel instantly alive is its openness to pets, adding a warmth that feels natural and comforting. And if you’re lucky, you’ll be welcomed by Doobie, the in-house dog and charmer, who has a way of making guests feel instantly at home. It’s these small moments that make the environment feel more relaxed and real. This ease carries into how you spend your time here. Some moments are quiet and personal, while others are more playful. You might find yourself trying bottle painting, joining in for a casual karaoke evening, or simply walking through the property with no fixed plan. During the rains, group treks through the greens leading up to the lake become a highlight, offering a chance to pause and take it all in. Even the idea of a digital detox happens naturally here. You’re not told to disconnect, but somewhere between the lake, the open spaces, and the overall rhythm of the place, your phone becomes less important. There’s a certain ease to it all, where comfort never takes away from the simplicity of the experience. The food follows the same easy philosophy. What began as simple, home-style meals has grown into a more curated café experience, offering Indian, Chinese, Continental, and Italian cuisines. There’s a sense of familiarity in every meal, balanced with occasional pop-ups and barbecue setups that add variety without overcomplicating things. The space has also begun to evolve into something more intimate and celebratory. Having hosted one of their first weddings on the property, the retreat opened itself to a new kind of experience. With the lake as a backdrop and the openness of the land, it creates a setting that feels personal and unforced. The team now welcomes similar gatherings, offering couples the chance to host close-knit, lakeside weddings that feel meaningful rather than grand. At its core, the space reflects something deeply personal. As founder Danish puts it, Bohemian was never a trend, but a way of living rooted in conscious freedom and self-expression. That philosophy quietly shapes the retreat, allowing guests to slow down, connect, and experience a more soulful kind of luxury. And then there’s the people behind it all. The team brings a warmth that ties everything together. It’s attentive without being overbearing, thoughtful without feeling staged. You feel taken care of, but in a way that still allows you to have your own space. By the time you leave Lakeside Boheme-Inn, it’s not just the place that stays with you, but the feeling it creates. A reminder that comfort doesn’t always need to be loud, sometimes, it’s found in slowing down and simply being.

Tsumyoki Is Building A World Of His Own LIFESTYLE Tsumyoki Is Building A World Of His Own By Sakshi Shah 30 July 2026 Advertisement There is a certain unpredictability to Tsumyoki that makes him difficult to place, and that's exactly what makes him interesting. At a time when artists are often expected to fit neatly into a genre, follow a formula or build an identity that audiences can instantly recognise, the Goan musician has taken a different route. His music moves between hip hop, pop, alternative and everything in between, but it never feels like experimentation for the sake of it. Every release feels like another chapter of someone discovering who they are in real time. Even after becoming the youngest artist to sign with Gully Gang , winning the MTV Europe Music Award for Best India Act and emerging as one of the most exciting voices to come out of Goa's independent music scene, Tsumyoki doesn't present himself as someone who has everything figured out. In conversation, what stands out isn't the achievements but his openness to growth. For him, every new experience adds another layer to who he is, and that constant evolution naturally finds its way into his music. https://video.wixstatic.com/video/08ff15_48963c08eb584e87abf8f6e7e4b933df/1080p/mp4/file.mp4 Rather than chasing a signature genre, he has always followed emotion. His catalogue reflects that, from early tracks like White Tee and Pink Blue to projects like A Message From The Moon and Housephull . Each release feels different because each one captures a different moment in his creative journey. Instead of trying to create music that fits into a particular space, he focuses on creating music that makes people feel something. Growing up in Goa has played an equally important role in shaping that perspective. While many see the state through the lens of beaches and holidays, for Tsumyoki it represents familiarity, balance and a sense of home. It is where he disconnects from the pace of the industry and reconnects with himself, a reminder that success doesn't have to change where you come from. Goa has also shaped his ambition. Through Goa Trap Culture , the collective he co-founded, he became part of a movement that challenged perceptions of what music from the state could sound like. What started as a group of young artists creating together has grown into one of India's most exciting independent collectives, proving that some of the strongest creative movements are built through community rather than competition. Like every artist of his generation, Tsumyoki is also navigating a world where creating music is only part of the job. Social media has transformed the industry, making content creation an essential part of connecting with audiences. He doesn't shy away from that reality. Instead, he acknowledges the challenge of balancing creativity with visibility, constantly looking for ways to ensure that promoting his work never takes away from the music itself. That same instinct shapes the way he approaches success. The biggest lesson his journey has taught him is that careers rarely unfold exactly as planned. Some of his biggest milestones arrived in ways he never expected, reinforcing the importance of trusting his instincts instead of trying to control every outcome. It is an outlook that keeps him focused on the work rather than the pressure surrounding it. His creative process follows a similar philosophy. Instead of worrying whether an idea is too unconventional, he follows whatever feels honest in the moment. That willingness to trust his instincts has allowed him to build a sound that feels personal rather than predictable, one that continues to evolve with every release. Fashion has become another extension of that identity. For Tsumyoki, style isn't separate from music but part of the same creative language. The visuals, the clothing and the performances all contribute to the world he is building, giving audiences a fuller picture of the artist behind the songs. Looking back at his earliest releases, he sees growth rather than comparison. The music he made as a teenager was instinctive and unfiltered, while today's work reflects greater experience and confidence in the studio. Neither version defines him completely. Together, they tell the story of an artist who continues to evolve without losing sight of where he started. More than awards or streaming milestones, Tsumyoki hopes his journey encourages the next generation of artists growing up in Goa to dream bigger. If his success can inspire someone else to believe that a career in music is possible, then he feels he has already achieved something meaningful. In an industry that often rewards artists for fitting into familiar boxes, Tsumyoki is doing something far more interesting. He is creating on his own terms, embracing change instead of resisting it, and proving that the most compelling journeys are often the ones that refuse to follow a script.

WHAT DROVE CAR DESIGNERS SO FAR? LIFESTYLE WHAT DROVE CAR DESIGNERS SO FAR? by Akash Khatri 1 January 2020 Advertisement #HOWTOACCELERATEINLIFE MILES THEY WALKED BEFORE THEIR VEHICLE TOOK OFF, CONFUSIONS THEY FACED AMIDST THE CHAOS, DECISIONS MADE; SWEAT ROLLED DOWN FROM SCRATCH TO DESIGN, TOWN TO TOWN NEVER DID THEY EVER PULL BRAKES ON HOPE, LIVED THEIR LIFE IN FULL GEAR TODAY LET’S PEAK INTO THEIR WAY OF LIFE WHAT DROVE THEM SO FAR WHAT MADE THE CAR-MAKER ITSELF A MISSILE… FAMOUS AUTO MECHANICS HENRY FORD Henry Ford was an American industrialist and founder of the FORD MOTOR COMPANY. He created the first automobile that middle-class Americans could afford. He converted the automobile from an expensive curiosity into an accessible conveyance. He was given the title of FORDISM. He became one of the richest and best-known people in the world. He offered high wages for workers. Ford had a global vision and believed in consumerism as the key to peace. “Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black.” – Henry Ford, Autobiography Henry Ford (dbsn), was born in Michigan. His father’s family emigrated from Somerset, England in the 16th Century. Henry had four siblings. His father gave him a pocket watch in his early teens. At fifteen, he dismantled and reassembled the timepieces of his friends and neighbors. He did this dozens of times that made him gain the reputation of a watch repairman. He was devastated when his mother passed away in 1876. His father expected him to take over their family farm, but he despised farm work. He later wrote, ” I never had any particular love for the farm-it was the mother on the farm I loved.” Ford left his home in 1879 to work as an apprentice machinist in Detroit. Three years later, he returned to Dearborn to work on the family farm. There he became adept at operating the Westinghouse portable steam engines. He was later hired by the Westinghouse. During this period, he also studied bookkeeping at Goldsmith, Bryant & Stratton Business College, Detroit. When he was 12, he received a watch. Also, he witnessed the operation of a Nichols and Shepard road engine. In his farm, Ford built a “steam wagon or tractor.” In 1890, he started work on a two-cylinder engine. In 1892, he completed his first motor car, powered by a two-cylinder four horsepower motor. In 1893, the machine was running to his partial satisfaction and giving an opportunity further to test the design on the road. Between 1895 and 1896, Ford drove that machine about 1000 miles. Ford then started a second car in 1896, he built three cars in his home workshop. By 1918, half of all cars in the United States were Model Ts. Ford was always eager to sell to farmers who looked on the vehicle as a commercial device to help their business. MILTON FINGER, BOB KANE AND GEORGE BARRIS MILTON FINGER, also known as BILL FINGER, was an American comic strip and comic book writer best known as the Creator. An aspiring writer and a part-time shoe salesman, Finger joined Bob Kane’s nascent studio in 1938. Kane later offered him a job ghost writing the strips Rusty and Clip Carson. Early the following year, after National Comics’ success Kane conceived “the Bat-Man.” Finger then recalled ‘Batman’. Finger offered such suggestions as giving a cowl, a cape instead of wings, adding gloves, and removing the red sections from the original costume. Soon this unique style received love and appreciation from across the globe. But Finger’s name did not appear as an official credit on Batman stories or films until 2015. The BATMOBILE is the fictional car driven by the Batman. Housed in the Batcave, which it accesses through a hidden entrance, the Batmobile is both a heavily armored tactical assault vehicle and a personalized custom-built pursuit and capture vehicle that is used by Batman in his fight against crime. The Batmobile made way into people’s lives in actual shape and form as FORD LINCOLN FUTURA 1955. It was customized in 15 days at a cost of $15,000 by George Barris. Barris was born in Chicago. His mother died when he was a toddler. After that he moved to California to with his uncle. He began restoring with cars at an early age, later moved to Los Angles at the age of 18. There he set up a custom shop with his brother. He soon became known for his daring, flashy designs and customized cars for Hollywood sets. Experts say he helped to redefine the field of car customization, elevating it to a new, more populist art form in much lesser time and money. It was featured in the original Batman TV series starring Adam West. Barris kept it in his private collection until 2012. It eventually sold for $4.2 million. CARL FRIEDRICH BENZ Benz was a German engine designer and an automotive engineer. The first ever practical automobile was made by him as Benz Patent Motorcar from 1885. He received a patent for the motorcar in 1886. When he was two years old, his father died of pneumonia. His name was changed to Karl Friedrich Benz in remembrance of his father. Benz’s lifelong hobby brought him to a bicycle repair shop in Mannheim. In 1883, Benz along with the two owners of the bicycle repair shop founded a new company producing industrial machines, usually referred to as Benz & Cie. Quickly growing to twenty-five employees, it soon began to produce static gas engines as well. The success of the company gave Benz the opportunity to indulge in his old passion of designing a horseless carriage. With his fondness and experience, he used similar technology when he created an automobile. Benz was unhappy because he was left with merely five percent of the shares and a modest position as a director. Worst of all, his ideas weren’t considered when designing new products. One year later, he withdrew from that corporation. Benz began to sell the vehicle and made it commercially available automobile in history. The second customer of the Motorwagen was a Parisian bicycle manufacturer who had already been building Benz engines under license from Karl Benz for several years. Roger added the Benz automobiles to the line he carried in Paris and initially most were sold there. During the last years of the nineteenth century, he came to be known as the owner of the largest automobile company in the world with 572 units produced in 1899 and sales kept increasing tremendously. In 2011, a dramatized television movie about the life of Karl and Bertha Benz was made Carl & Bertha by Das Erste. The famous three-pointed star comes from a postcard sent by Gottlieb Daimler to his wife which said that he was living in a three-pointed star and that ‘one day this star will shine over our triumphant factories.’ The three signify Land, Sea and Air, first seen on a car in 1910. GEORGE FOOTE FOSS George was a machinist, bicycle repairman and inventor from Quebec. He was the inventor of the FOSSMOBILE. It was Canada’s first successful gasoline-powered automobile which he manufactured in 1896. Foss became an entrepreneur at an early age. His first job was running up and down the streets of Sherbrooke, ringing a bell on auction day to help his father. Foss obtained electrical expertise, while apprenticing with Whitney Electrical Instrument Company. He gained knowledge about how to assemble electrical instruments and wind electrical motors. At the age of eighteen, he opened his own shop. He built a 52-volt boat motor. As he traveled, after thirty minutes the batteries in the car died. Then he began to design and build an automobile that would address the problem. He started with a chassis made of old bicycle frames. He never tried to market or mass-produce his automobile. He turned down an offer to finance the production of his automobile. In 1900, he met Henry Ford who offered him a chance to help build a new company that Ford was trying to establish. Foss declined his offer, seeing Fossmobile as inferior. Later, at the age of 37, he went back to working as a machinist. He opened a machine shop in Montreal, Quebec and became a key contributor in the manufacturing of World War 1. In 1960, Foss became an honorary member of the Vintage Automobile Club of Montreal.

DIBBA Studio: Weaving Journeys Into Wearable Tales By Anurag Sen DIBBA Studio: Weaving Journeys Into Wearable Tales 10 July 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Since its debut in 2016, DIBBA Studio has carved a space in contemporary fashion through its bold storytelling and arresting prints. The Indonesian label—short for “Dis Better Be Awesome”—has built a signature around seasonally themed collections that fuse Eastern heritage with Western boldness. With its 2025 collection titled Odyssey , presented at Thailand Fashion Week , the studio marked a significant evolution in both ambition and artistry. DIBBA first captured attention in the regional fashion circuit through presentations like its 2024 Silk Road collection at Plaza Indonesia Fashion Week—a journey inspired by ancient Chinese royal motifs, mythical creatures, and symbolic embroideries. That showcase highlighted the label’s knack for translating historical richness into visually compelling forms. It set a precedent for how DIBBA approaches fashion: not just as design, but as narrative. With Odyssey , DIBBA continues that trajectory—expanding its lens to explore broader themes of travel, transformation, and cultural exchange. Each piece in the collection carries a layered identity, where print, color, and silhouette work in tandem to tell a story. A bodice may echo maritime motifs; a flowing skirt may suggest movement, migration, or memory. DIBBA has never shied away from bold color—deep ochres, rusted reds, ocean blues—and Odyssey blends them into a cohesive palette that is at once grounded and curious. Our team, present at the Thailand Fashion Week AW25/26 showcase, witnessed firsthand the way DIBBA Studio translated its design ethos into motion. The silhouettes unfolded in dynamic prints, revealing a choreography of strength and fluidity. Denim corsets strutted alongside mesh-backed dresses, while traditional surface motifs were reimagined through modern tailoring. The visual language spoke clearly: this was a brand grounded in Eastern spirit, yet confidently evolving into global sophistication. This interplay between cultural reverence and contemporary form is what makes DIBBA unique. The studio approaches each season with a strong thematic direction—rooted in research and often interwoven with heritage references—without ever losing sight of wearability. There’s a polish to their storytelling. Even the bolder prints feel measured, the silhouettes balanced, the statement pieces intentional rather than loud. DIBBA’s collections also speak to a generation that seeks substance beneath style. Their garments resonate with fashion lovers who appreciate narrative-driven design—who want to wear something that means something. It’s fashion as conversation, not just commodity. And in that space, DIBBA has found its voice. The debut of Odyssey at Thailand Fashion Week is more than just another show on the calendar—it marks a meaningful chapter in the label’s journey toward international presence. As DIBBA continues to grow, the label retains a sense of rootedness in Indonesian creative identity, using global platforms not to dilute that essence, but to deepen it. This is not a brand chasing trends. It’s a brand shaping its own path—through storytelling, through craftsmanship, and through an ever-expanding curiosity about the world it dresses. With Odyssey , DIBBA Studio steps not only into a new season but into a new tier of global recognition, one defined not by mass appeal but by meaningful impact. In a fashion landscape often cluttered by noise, DIBBA’s clarity stands out. It’s not just about what you see on the runway. It’s about what stays with you after. A story. A feeling. A garment that says more than style—it says journey. And with Odyssey , that journey has only just begun.

It also includes packages to experience the grand festivals of the country, how the local artists live, and even, the history of the arts of Kerala. Accommodations with plastic-free zones and more The local homestays, even those that offer luxury stays, are conscious about the detrimental effects of the environment on nature. So, properties like Spice Village in Thekkady runs on 70% solar energy and doesn’t allow even percent of plastic use within its premises. The place also collects rainwater and recycles paper waste, and uses their own water bottles, among other conscious decisions. There is a vegan homestay in the state as well - the first of its kind in the country, where of course, the food is completely plant-based and thus, supports low carbon emission . The property collects rainwater and features compost toilets and home-made vegan food, all their profits go to a charity that improves welfare of stray animals.

Spring Of Glitz & Glam by Naisargi Devdher Spring Of Glitz & Glam 27 August 2022 COVER STORIES Advertisement In the midst of monsoon receiving a cup of hot tea is like reviving life on every corner of your stick nerves. Well, that’s exactly what Soniya Bansal seems to be presently grooving warmer than the cosy cover of your winter bed. From candidly being vocal about late teens and being surrounded by artists to her FASHION CUTS , it seems to be welcoming a new season of her in this article !!! From getting termed as an outsider to being recognised as a ‘Pageant’ the journey is filled with boundaries that need to be crossed over, these takes her through variety of experiences. “Experiences are not just to be categorized as really exuberating or bitter to face. I don’t actually take all of it very personally overloading it on my bosom, as it depends on how audience perceives a woman’s aura and character to be. Anyways, it’s now that I fathom the truth in various manners. Being a fresher, the experiences, however, were horridly cold as only response to inquiries made was meeting up people from various groups on being suggested to running doors for work. That’s the major difference today when I have work no one actually suggests meeting up rather they just walk up to my door with work in hand!” From engaging in moves to modelling for path breaking magazines and finally grooving the media for her very particular sense of fashion, she has blazed all the roles. Being a woman there are several words said directly or non-verbal language indicated to showcase certain level of discrimination, all of which are setbacks for an artist and that woman in particular. To which she simply smirked and nodded, continuing to express, “Being completely honest not just being a woman but a self-born star in this industries, I have faced several such questions and allegations that made me lose self-esteem and majorly I wanted to quit the industry. It was then when I realised that whatever field it be, the domination of pre-existing groups is extremely common. Then why should I digress from a field that I am already excelling in because certain mass number that doesn’t want to alter their perceptions! So I decide to move on with it.” Laughing over all of the jokes she gracefully said, “Knowledge is the key to every action of your life. Thus education is must.” In continuation she added, “I perused Master of Arts in Psychology, giving me liberty to understand people around observing artists around simply driving the motivating force within to act and become a model. There were no definite plans; it was just that I finally found what I am born for!!” The firm belief that she has in evolution of ideas from childhood to adulthood simplifies life when she exclaims, “It’s not necessary that all that we aspire to become as a child falls in our way like flowers in the path of Buddha! Those aspirations are going to change and we should welcome all our might because we do it for our personal profits!!!” Finding this thought queer and willing to converse about the numerous shifts it always wonderful to exaggerate the way she simply juggles between work life and personal life. To comment on which she put across the thought, “When I am active with my closed ones, I have the ability to survive a sinking ship. If one isn’t active in her personal life then how will she be active in her professional life? That’s the basic necessity to kick-off a career in an industry like ours. If one doesn’t have brain power then the other aspects just seem foggier than snow ranged mountains leading to vision and thoughts of self that aren’t visible clearly to people, they start despising you completely ending up in a cycle of regrets!” Mentioning about family, the society at large agrees that, nepotism to say has a magnanimous role in the industry. Soniya on the other hand, stands staunch in the industry today, neither has she had any Godfathers in the industry nor does she have any family member reaching the industry. In these circumstances in her accordance, there is always a need to have someone surrounding a fresher to support. The need arises from the past events of her life. She never had anyone to guide her way through to what acts to perform or work to look for, she had no option other than to work however talking about this day she knows the alternatives with all ends due to the life events, mistakes as well the success that she has achieved. Thus reinforcing, “The industry of films and theatre is an extremely difficult one to survive in!” However, only a fighter can survive through when one keeps struggling even when she has projects in hand because the fate can never be trusted, she might end up with zero projects one morning unknown of where to begin from or sometimes just clueless of audience’s approval of the work performed. The audience, however is a judge to everything, they also are variable deciders of schemas of body images that an industry portrays. Soniya, a fitness enthusiast elaborated on complete essence of work outs. “Due to work loads and several shifts, I do skip gyms for a day or certainly for a week if nothing progresses well, however, the moment I resume the sessions of muscle enhancers, I assure myself of stretching my limits to the farthest extent possible to cover up what I missed out on. This is also what makes me mentally fit as I am not worried about my health or overcoming injuries in general. As they say ‘A FIT BODY TRACES A FIT MIND’!! However, there is no assumed connection of body image and acting skills. For me at least, any person can act without having to worry about people body shaming him. That’s exactly what makes differences in tackling the negative outburst of audience. I believe in tackling such negative outbursts on meeting the critic rather than just a distinct criticiser who I probably would never even meet because that man sitting in some random corner of another city has no clue regarding my life. Particularly that is why for me, fashion is something that is classic and unique to me but also at the same time comfortable for me rather than revealing attire wore to impress the audience largely.” The simplicity with which she spoke about all of it is very similar to the simplicity with which she enacts a character. These characters have different underlying psyche, to acquire a role of those, she never utilises any substance that might justify the character however impact her negatively. Thus for her all roes hold equal importance and never does she take back the role with her. This congruence of her with the work life makes the reader flabbergast over so much about her choices and inspirations. “For me one actor I admire the most and always will is Shah Rukh Khan .” One might imagine what she carries along since childhood if she admires the legend Badshah since 90s’. No eye tear can be as magical as her innocent and honest words when she narrates, “I remember my dad explain me ‘BE WHOEVER YOU WISH TO, BUT NEVER LIE OR HURT ANYONE IN THE PROCESS OF BECOMING WHOEVER!!” Being humane none can resist but ask her to inspire youth being a role model not only because of her work and performances but also because of her intellect and temperament. “You know the youth needs to understand that Deepika Padukone has done critically acclaimed films to reach a state of worthiness and so has Ranveer Singh . He goes bare clothes for a shoot doesn’t actually mean the follower too should for gaining fame. That’s not how it works. Walk and act according to the situation. That makes them what they are. It will be the same for you too!” “EVEN DISNEY CAN’T RESIST THE CHARM OF FLOWER.
