What makes a good cover story? A glamour quotient, a star featured, and a narrative behind it... #MasalaJanuary2023issue A beautiful reminder of an ornate past and an ostentatious present, ‘The Culture Issue’ features a story of South Asian continents coming together to restore rare pre-parition craftsmanship. The perfect muse for this theme is Jacqueline Fernandez, our sunshine girl, who is a proud South Asian of Sri Lankan and Malaysian origin herself. The narrative puts South Asian heritage on the pedestal, bringing together the expertise of bridal couture-wear label Lajwanti (@lajwantiofficial) and boutique precious jewlellery brand Naulakha Jewels (@naulakhajewels.pk) to adorn our muse with the best that our culture has to offer — styled with a contemporary twist. ——————————————————————— Directed by @vamakotharii assisted by @shweta.kinkale Produced by @p.productions_ Videographed by @studiogaaba Styled by @namitaalexander assisted by @simrannakraa Coordinated by @dania_syed_ Fine Jewelry by @naulakhajewels.pk Makeup by @shaanmu Hair by @marcepedrozo Photographed at @hiltonmumbai PR @spicesocial Editor @vamakotharii #MasalaJanuary2023issue #JacquelineFernandez #Lajwanti #Bollywood #Celebrities
