The Met Gala is more than a fashion event — it’s the Olympics of fashion, where the world’s largest stars, designers, and creative geniuses meet to break couture rules. The gala is hosted yearly at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, famous for its over-the-top themes, eye-popping outfits, and cultural commentary that resonates long after the red carpet unrolls.

Representing India at a global level, this year’s Met had the biggest stars from Bollywood. The Badshah of Bollywood, King Khan, aka SRK, broke the internet with his presence at Met 2025, while Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh added a desi twist to global fashion with his signature swag. And another look that stood out for its depth, elegance, and historical resonance was that of Isha Ambani — businesswoman, philanthropist, and a modern-day cultural ambassador for India.

Known for her grace, beauty, and strong cultural roots, Isha Ambani was a standout on the Met Gala 2025 red carpet. While everyone else went for modern maximalism, Isha went for India’s royal heritage. Her look was glamorous, but there was depth in history and workmanship that spoke volumes beyond the visual drama.

For the Met Gala 2025, Isha donned a bespoke Anamika Khanna outfit that blended Indian heritage and high-fashion sensibilities beautifully. The look consisted of a richly embellished ivory corset worn with black tailored pants and a flowing white floor-length cape. A sleek white hat provided an edgy, editorial touch to the otherwise regal figure, making it both traditional and futuristic. But the true showstopper of her ensemble was the stunning diamond necklace draped over her neckline — a piece that was the subject of much conversation.

The necklace was not merely an accessory; it paid homage to Indian history. The style was inspired by the legendary Toussaint necklace, originally designed by Cartier for Maharaja Ranjitsinhji of Nawanagar, one of India’s most fashionable royals. His initial necklace was set with exotic gems: a 135-carat Queen of Holland diamond, a 26-carat blue diamond, and a 12-carat green diamond, which amounted to nearly 500 carats in total. Lost after his death, Cartier recreated the design years later from old photographs in its archives and christened it the “Toussaint Necklace.”

Isha’s necklace is owned by her mother, Nita Ambani, and is part of her personal collection. That same piece was used in the Hollywood movie Ocean’s 8, with Anne Hathaway wearing it. For the Met Gala, it was not only an accessory but also an homage — an ode to India’s rich history, royal fashion, and artistic heritage.

Isha’s appearance took more than 20,000 hours to finish, according to reports, and she completed it with a few layered neckpieces that accentuated the opulence of her outfit. Each aspect — ranging from apparel to accessories — reflected how contemporary India was embracing its royal heritage on an international platform.

Isha Ambani’s red carpet look at the Met Gala wasn’t just about elegance and majesty, but it also reminded the world of rooted Indian luxury, its legacy, heritage, and narrative.

Diljit paired his sherwani with a white turban, richly adorned with golden embellishments and crowned with an elegant white kalgi, adding a regal touch to his Met Gala outfit. He completed his full Maharaja look by carrying a long sword, channeling a sense of bravery and royalty.

Diljit’s outfit is a celebration to Indian fashion and has a deeper meaning behind it. The singer chose this ensemble as a tribute to Maharaj Bhupinder Singh of Patiala, who was renowned for his opulent lifestyle and royal flair.

Also, Diljit made sure to elevate his Maharaja ensemble with the perfect accessories. Drawing attention majorly towards neckline, he wore a multi-layered necklace encrusted with precious gemstones. His jewellery gave a touch of royal grandeur to his appeal.

This year’s Met Gala theme is Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. It’s inspired by Monica L Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, published in 2009. The Dress code “Tailored for You”, is a nod to the theme of suiting and menswear showcased in the exhibition.

Taking inspiration from Black dandy style, her three-piece stunning outfit included a corset top, tailored pants and a white cape. To keep it chic and glam, her corset top featured a golden geometric design and a white collar design, adding that sophisticated edge. She layered it with a long and embroidered cape with precious stones attached to it. To highlight the upper part more, the designer decided to keep the bottom minimal, and chose black tailored pants with subtle embroidery on sides.

To complete the overall look, Isha went for a braided hairstyle with a side partition at the front. For accessories, she chose a vintage cartier necklace- believed to have once belonged to the Maharaja of Nawanagar. She paired it with Tiffany & Co. bird rings, diamond-encrusted hip ornament and pear-studded avian hairpins. Isha in beauty department remained as considered as the couture. She chose rose-brown lips, soft smokey eye, sculpted contouring and defined brows, accentuating her face features perfectly.

Isha’s masterpiece couture that took astounding 20,000 hours to make stood out for its elegance, deliberate grace and modern glam.  Sharing the blue carpet with her were fellow Indian icons Shah Rukh Khan, Diljit Dosanjh, Kiara Advani, Mona Patel, Natasha Poonawalla, and designers Manish Malhotra and Sabyasachi Mukherjee- marking a remarkable year for India’s fashion representation at the world’s most prestigious night.

Kiara Advani makes Met Gala 2025 debut

Kiara Advani’s Met Gala Debut: A Tribute to Motherhood

Kiara Advani’s ethereal presence at the red carpet was more than just fashion but a textile representation of depth and symbolism.

The theme for this year’s night was ‘Tailored For You’. It was a honouring the revolutionising Black Dandy style of dressing. For Advani, it was a little extra special it wasn’t just her but her little one walking the carpet in a heartfelt narrative. “A tribute to defiance, legacy, and new beginnings. Bravehearts is built on the spirit of the Black Dandy — those who challenged norms and reshaped culture with grace, strength, and individuality,” is  how Gaurav Gupta defines his envision of the ensemble.

On the pregnant Kiara Advani, the look takes on deeper meaning; representing how identity is inherited and reimagined through generations. At its core, a gold sculpted breastplate with two hearts – mother and child, connected by an abstract umbilical cord.

Kiara Advani slipped elegantly into the bodycon classic raven black gown that was elevated with the GG’s signature breastplate style. Accentuating her ensemble, she added a dramatic black and white cape keeping up with the theme for the grand night.

The ‘Shershah’ actress’s look was inspired by André Leon Talley’s 2010 Met Gala look.

Take cues from Advani to style up your glam quotient in the most minimalistic aesthetic. She opted for minimal makeup with sleek contouring, significant blush and nude tone glossy lips. Making a statement with her attire, she chose classy eye shadow with her eyes highlighting that mascara look. The metallic ear cuffs – earring pair, and rings added on to the idea.

Every year the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City become that roof under which several stars and celebrities come under for a fundraiser.

Alia Bhatt donned a stunning Nauvari Paithani saree, a saree style that dates nearly 2000 years back. The custom Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla drape stood out with the vibrancy of the resham and the essence rooted in Indian textile heritage.

Decoding Alia Bhatt’s Nauvari Paithani Saree

Alia Bhatt’s special marathi mulgi look in nauvari paithani saree

The ‘Gangubai Kathiawad’ actress wore a mesmerising handicraft saree with hand embroidery striking the perfect balance between minimal glamour amalgamated with tradition. Paithani saree is a typical textile that hails from the medieval town of Paithan near Aurangabad, Maharashtra. The origin of the textile can be traced to the 2nd century BC. During that time, it was said to be made of pure gold wire, cotton and silk. However, in the contemporary era, these sarees are spun or hadwoven with Indian bred silk, puri zardozi work and more.

“To create a genuine Paithani sari, around 500 grams of silk threads and another 250 grams of zari threads are utilised for a regular six-yard piece, while the nine-yard iterations use more raw material and can weigh up to 900 grams,” reported Vogue India in 2019.

Nauvari saree style is entrenched in the history of Marathas. Nau translates to nine and vari means yards. This nine-yards of dhoti style saree was worn by Maratha queens so that they could move freely, ride horses and wield weapons during battles. This is a sign of a warrior style saree.

Encrusted with crystals, pearls sequins, the backless blouse with classic nauvari drape is when contemporary meets traditional. As per her stylist, Ami Patel, Bhatt paired it with her wedding sandals! Never a dull moment with Alia Bhatt and her sense of styling!

“Handwoven by the talented artisans of Tulsi Weaves, her Paithani from the Yeola town of Maharashtra took 75 days to make. Styled in the classic Nauvari drape, the saree is the epitome of traditional workmanship and contemporary elegance,” captioned AJSK in their post about this custom creation. Yeola is a town in Maharashtra that is famous for its Paithani saree creations.

This Akshaya Tritiya urges more deliberate investments with significant cosmic changes: Saturn in Pisces, Jupiter’s transit into Gemini, and Rahu and Ketu activating the Aquarius-Leo axis. Here is what you may take home for lasting plenty.

Bring Home a Feature Phone for Focus and Simplicity

Purchasing a basic feature phone with buttons is a metaphorical method to fit Saturn’s need for simplicity and discipline in Pisces. Grounding our digital habits becomes even more important as Jupiter moves into Gemini, a sign of communication. The Rahu-Ketu movement also underlines deliberate technological use. All crucial for creating wealth in the next phase, a feature phone promotes stronger attention, less distraction, and a return to deliberate living.

Purchase 1.25 Kilograms of Dry Coriander Seeds

In ancient knowledge, coriander has always stood for riches and fertility. Buying 1.25 kg of dry coriander seeds today Akshaya Tritiya draws great plenty. To increase the flow of riches throughout the year, dry and keep these seeds at home. This tiny but significant deed uses Mercury’s speed and Jupiter’s blessings to boost financial knowledge and family peace.

Plant a New Green Plant to Grow Wealth

Planting a tree or a green plant on Akshaya Tritiya strengthens karmic roots for future wealth. Growing a Tulsi, Money Plant, or Curry Leaf plant can wonderfully connect your personal development with the expansion of nature as Saturn is stabilizing energies in Pisces and Jupiter is moving toward nurturing Cancer later this year. A new plant also represents the quiet strength of consistent wealth growth, patience, hope, and tenacity.

Bring Silver Idols or Coins for Emotional and Financial Strength

This year, choose silver over gold if your budget is tight. Silver represents purity, emotional intelligence, and preservation of riches. Especially with the Moon’s energies increasing under the Aquarius-Leo axis influence, bringing home a silver Lakshmi-Ganesh idol or silver coins will balance your emotional energy and material resources. Silver also serves as a link between external prosperity and interior serenity.

Invest in Books and Learning Tools for Intellectual Prosperity

Investing in knowledge-based technologies becomes quite lucky with Jupiter entering Gemini, the sign of brains and learning. Buying new books, signing up for a skill-improving course, or giving yourself a spiritual notebook fits your mind with the approaching growth winds. As the year progresses, intellectual riches will create doors for financial possibilities, hence opening doors for sensible and futuristic action.

Buy New Clothes and Gift to Your Guru for Karmic Blessings

Buying new clothes for yourself indicates willingness to greet fresh chances. On Akshaya Tritiya, giving a gift to your Guru, mentor, or spiritual instructor is much more powerful. Such expressions of thanks open karmic routes and draw heavenly grace. Honouring the knowledge that has led you guarantees spiritual and material growth together in the changing cosmic forces of 2025.

Simran Poonia is asocial media influencer who captures her everyday colourful and quirky lifestyle She has also documented her significant weight loss journey and formed a narrative that serves as inspiration to all her followers.

Weight Loss Story of Simran Poonia

Simran Poonia who runs her social media handle on Instagram under the name ‘nonuphile’ underwent a tremendous weight loss journey. In a reel, she shared that she weighed the heaviest at 130 kilos. Today she weighs around 60-603 kilos and her favourite exercise is a cardio routine. . In one of her video about her weight loss, she answered about her favourite exercise which is a cardio routine.

“The main workout I did was cardio. I was 130 kgs, being at that weight it is very tough to walk a long distance. Day 1 I started I could only walk 700 m. I was exhausted. The next day I could walk 1 km. It is all about little steps and consistency. Because being that heavy I couldn’t run or jog a long distance. Also, if you are that heavy, it is not healthy for you joints to run with that much weight,” Simran said in her video. She also shared how she “hated” walking and running earlier but now is in love with her new fit regime.

Replying to a comment, she said, ” Its not a one day or a one month thing. It is going to take you months and even years! So just be consistent and trust the process. Baby steps. Its not a sprint its a marathon it seems impossible but it can be achieved. Not saying that its gonna be easy, its gonna be tough but you gotta do what u gotta do. Start slow, push your limits slowly day by day and just be consistent. (sic)”.

Jogging, running, swimming, skipping rope are common cardio routine for beginners. These are basic cardiovascular exercises that may bring different results for individuals.

Poonia documents her life on social media however she never failed to emphaise on the idea how her journey is her own is no roadmap for everyone to follow. Her real life story is definitely a one that inspires, however, one must note that everybody has a different requirement that needs to be dealt differently.

Pranjal Pandey, a registered nutritionist, shared her journey on Instagram, where she motivated thousands of people by losing weight from 150 kg to a fit 68 kg. Her journey confirms that irrespective of how challenging the beginning looks, discipline and consistent habits can achieve long-term outcomes.

In her emotional updates, Pranjal wrote that she never thought she would see double digits on the scale. The journey was not a cakewalk — there were tears, sweat, and years of hard work. But the result was worth all of it. Today, she is happy with her weight and doesn’t worry about it anymore, describing the change as “unreal” though she wrote it down.

So, what were her secrets? Pranjal stressed the need for an overall lifestyle change and not just relying on diets or gym trends. She began with basic habits such as having warm water mixed with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar with an empty stomach. It became a part of her daily morning routine to boost digestion and metabolism.

In food, she practiced simple principles. She boosted protein with foods such as fish, poultry, eggs, tofu, paneer, and Greek yogurt. Complex carbohydrates — whole grains, fruits, and vegetables — constituted the remaining part of her meals. She ensured that she consumed approximately four liters of water per day and included raw salads such as carrots and cucumbers before meals to enhance satiety.

Pranjal did not depend on rigorous exercises. She opted for sustainable movement instead. She made it a point to walk for a minimum of 10 minutes after each meal. On days when she could not venture out, she did 10–15 squats after meals to keep herself active. She also had light dinner and ensured that she ate it 2–3 hours prior to sleeping, keeping late-night eating at bay.

As her stamina and strength grew, she added simple exercises such as Pilates, gyming, and jogging. But the essence of her journey was always in the small things — being careful about what she ate, moving every day, and sticking to the process.

Her message to all those fighting weight gain is simple: weight loss doesn’t have to be extreme or crash-diet driven. It can be as easy as eating better each day.

Pranjal weight loss journey is a proof that with enough dedication and persistence, you can conquer any challenge.

Rocky’s journey did not start because of health issues or societal pressure but from a very personal place. Posting his story on social media site X, he shared that his mother’s last words to him were, “Lose weight.” This emotional nudge became the essence of his journey. He chose to do it, not for anyone, but to pay her back.

Over the course of the 12 months, Rocky lost 34 kg by making one significant alteration—cutting back on food and booze. “I have ZERO health issues,” he explained when questioned about any pre-existing conditions. “I just reduced eating and drinking for a bit,” he explained, dismissing any speculation that his weight loss was caused by medical issues.

He also spoke to the rumor about Ozempic, a medication commonly used for weight control. Rocky assured he didn’t use any medication. “Nope… not on any weight loss drug, just hard work,” he said, valuing the people who politely inquired instead of blaming. While respecting how Ozempic might be used for others, he made sure to say that his own journey included no such assistance—merely a watchful eye for eating and a bit of self-discipline.

Rocky’s before-and-after pictures—posted on the internet—show a clearly dramatic transformation. His pride and enthusiasm are apparent, even if he’s quick to point out that his process isn’t yet complete. At only nine kilos away from his goal, he also mentioned that he’s currently tightening loose skin as part of his continued transition.

Though, he did not hesitate to explain the side effects of such extensive weight loss. One of the unforeseen aftermaths was very heavy hair loss. “I had excellent hair until last year. Now due to the rapid prolonged weight loss, it’s thinned significantly,” he candidly admitted. This candid acknowledgment highlights the physiological cost that even a beneficial transformation can sometimes include.

Rocky also stressed the value of establishing a good foundation for a healthy lifestyle at an early age. He feels that sound habits developed at a young age—like good eating, staying active, and avoiding extremes—are key to health in the long term. “By 25, you’ve either got a good foundation or you don’t,” he pondered.

In spite of the obstacles, what comes through in Rocky Singh’s story is sincerity. It’s not a tale of perfection, but of determination, feeling, and respect for oneself. His choice to take action on his mother’s dying words gave him a goal based on love, so his success is so much more uplifting than any trend or quick fix.

The 25th anniversary of Lakmé Fashion Week x FDCI was a night to remember, especially as Max Fashion made its highly anticipated debut on the prestigious runway. Bringing energy, elegance, and individuality to the stage was none other than Kalki Koechlin, the actor and changemaker who effortlessly personified the brand’s bold new campaign — ‘New New You’.

Max Fashion’s collection was all about embracing transformation, expression, and versatility — and Kalki was the perfect muse. Known for her fearless choices and ever-evolving persona, she took center stage in a statement look that celebrated rebellion, ease, and timeless charm. From structured co-ords to flowing dresses, the showcase reflected Max Fashion’s commitment to making high-street fashion more accessible, stylish, and wearable for everyone.

But behind the stunning visuals and applause, Kalki shared an honest and relatable side to her runway experience.

“Oh, I was nervous before the show!” she said candidly in an exclusive post-walk conversation. “We were told we had a lot of time, so I sat down for lunch. Then suddenly they said we only had five minutes left. Everything was rushed — makeup, hair, dress — and I had to run. I hate being rushed! But the moment I’m backstage and hear the music, it all melts away. You get excited to be on stage, and everything just flows.”

Despite the last-minute chaos, Kalki’s walk was poised and powerful. The audience was captivated as she glided down the ramp in a look that captured the essence of Max Fashion’s Sicilian Summer and Amalfi Escape collections — from sun-kissed hues and breezy fabrics to bold prints and coastal-chic silhouettes.

In our chat, Kalki also opened up about her style inspirations and fashion preferences. When asked who she thought was currently ruling the fashion scene, her answer was immediate and heartfelt:

“Rekha is amazing. One love. And even Zeenat Aman is doing some really cool things right now. I love how they’ve stayed so true to themselves while evolving with the times.”

Her fashion philosophy? Keep it real and keep it comfortable.

“A trend I really don’t understand? Those really high pencil heels. Why torture ourselves?”

And for those wondering about a go-to wardrobe essential, she had a timeless suggestion:

“Plain whites. Whether it’s a shirt, kurta, or tee — white always looks crisp, fresh, and effortlessly stylish.”

As Max Fashion continues to expand its footprint across 210+ cities with 520+ stores and an ever-growing online presence, this LFW debut marked a significant milestone. Kalki’s presence on the ramp reinforced the brand’s vision — style that is bold, inclusive, and always evolving.

In her own words, it wasn’t just a walk — it was a moment of transformation.

A sartorial spectacle against the background of sea, the show’ aristocratic aesthetic spread all over with Merchant at its centre and how.

For the first time, Vivienne reproduced a painting on a piece of clothing, choosing ‘Daphnis and Chloe’ by François Boucher, 1743-5.

It can be slow but not impossible. One such inspiring story of Vitoria Mello. Vitoria reduced from weighting a 101 kilos to 77 kilos with dietary changes. Mello documents her fitness journey on her social media and shares her takeaways from her journey and how she managed to lose 24 kilos. In one of her posts, she explained the challenges she faced due to obesity. “Before with 101,KG: no mood, grade 2 obesity, bad body composition, high fat percentage, anxiety attack, back pain (from being overweight), swollen ankles, body pain, poor sleep, couldn’t keep consistency in anything, always frustrated because I couldn’t beat food, couldn’t walking or standing for a long time, fast food every day, bad exams, losing youth to obesity,” she wrote in Portuguese.

Mello followed the weight loss rule of calorie deficit. In order to maintain it, she ate 400 less as per Aaj Tak. She followed a strict diet and started adding more fibre and protein. Fibre and protein keeps the stomach satiated for longer durations minimising risk of hunger cravings when we end up succumbing to our guilty pleasures.

Despite a balanced meals, she did not give up on cheat meals. In addition to her diet, she also incorporated workout routine and it was not b just hitting the gym. Instead, she opted for walks and home workouts only.

The right balance of meal and workout not only helps reduce stubborn fat deposits but also helps to lead to fit lifestyle. One must note that weight loss is different for different people. What works for one body might not render desired results for another. Consulting a professional can help tailor make your diet that optimally helps your body.

Vinod Channa is a fitness expert who helped Mukesh Ambani’s youngest son Anant Ambani to reduce about 108 kgs. He also is Nita Ambani’s fitness trainer and helped to navigate through her lifestyle and lose about 18 kgs. Channa, on his blog shared 4 reasons that are essential to lose weight and avoid weight loss mistakes. In his blog noted:

• Stop following other’s plan: Stop following others diet and exercise plan from internet or any other source which does not match with your requirement and lifestyle and it may not be suitable as per your fitness level.
• Invest in good trainer: Invest in a good trainer even though it might be expensive to understand correct form, technique, range of motion, intensity of workout and small steps which will take you to higher level of fitness without muscle wear and tear, understands body type, make you believe in yourself for challenging movements with the right guidance and will pull your potential out in effective manner and save your valuable time.
• Watch your cheat meals: I have seen that many people follow diet whole day but somewhere they do small cheats like adding sugary products or keep on taking bites of some fatty food. There are some people who follow diet for 4 to 5 days and thinks that 1 day cheat meal is allowed. However, this actually spoils their entire week’s hard work. It depends upon your body fat percentage whether you need to cheat in a week or once in 15 days. Ideally, you must break your diet only once in 15 days during the first phase of weight loss plan. After reaching your target, you are allowed to eat whatever you like once in a week while on other days you are supposed to follow good eating habits.
• Challenge yourself: Some people do not seem to challenge themselves while working out and do not come out from comfort zone which makes their workout ineffective as per their required intensity. This is the main reason that they do not progress and there is no fat loss. Sometimes, they tend to follow wrong form and range of motion which literally spoils 60 percent of their workout effect and they have quite high chances of injury.

Different weight loss routines work differently for individuals. Channa, is a celebrity fitness trainer who has expertise in training different routines fit for different people. His elite roster of clients are Mangalam Birla, Ananya Birla and Bollywood stars like John Abraham, Shilpa Shetty, Arjun Rampa among others.

The world of fashion witnessed an exciting milestone as designer Bhawna Rao unveiled her much-anticipated flagship store. Known for her glamorous yet emotion-driven creations, Bhawna’s new space is more than just a retail destination — it’s a reflection of her journey, vision, and deep-rooted love for design. With luxe interiors inspired by Baroque and French architecture, the store showcases everything from romantic silhouettes to strong feminine forms, making it a must-visit for every fashion enthusiast.

To make the evening even more special, Bollywood actress Nushrratt Bharuccha graced the launch event, celebrating Bhawna’s big moment with elegance and warmth.

In an exclusive interview with India.com, both Nushrratt and Bhawna shared their thoughts on fashion, inspiration, and their personal style mantras.

“I love coming to someone’s dream that has finally turned into reality,” Nushrratt said with a smile, speaking about Bhawna’s store opening. “The vibe here is so loving and supportive, and the minute I walked in, I just wanted to see the clothes!” she added, emphasizing her excitement for Bhawna’s creations.

Bhawna, on the other hand, shared the philosophy that fuels her collections. “Women have always been my inspiration. They are empowered, emotional, romantic — and each of my collections is built around one of those emotions,” she said. Her latest line, as she revealed, revolves around romance, woven with elegance and intricately inspired by European architecture. “This time, I took cues from Baroque structures, columns, arches — especially the charm of French architecture,” Bhawna explained.

A firm believer in responsible fashion, Bhawna also touched upon the importance of sustainability in her design process. “Sustainability for me is not just a concept — it’s a responsibility. I believe in creating pieces that are timeless and seasonless. We use high-quality fabrics and thoughtful construction techniques so that each garment lasts longer and stays relevant beyond trends,” she noted. Her commitment to conscious luxury reflects not only in her collections but also in the ethical ethos of her brand.

The interaction got even more candid during a fun rapid-fire round. When asked about a fashion trend they wish would disappear, Nushrratt Bharuccha confessed, “Tight skinny jeans — I can’t do that, they’re the worst!” while Bhawna laughed and added, “Ultra low-waist denims! I would never wear those.”

And when it came to the one staple every woman should own? Both were in sync — “A white shirt dress. You just can’t go wrong with it. Classic and versatile.”

Bhawna also spoke passionately about her creative freedom and the importance of understanding the roots of fashion: “If you’re in the world of creativity, you have to dig deep. Without that, you can’t come up with something new.”

The evening wrapped up with energy, laughter, and a shared sense of pride. Bhawna’s store launch wasn’t just about fashion — it was about passion, sustainability, and a celebration of everything that makes women beautiful in every form.

With industry stalwarts and celebrities backing her aesthetic, Bhawna Rao’s flagship store is set to become a fresh chapter in contemporary Indian fashion.

The Story of Anant Ambani’s Trainer Vinod Chana

Vinod Channa has his own story to glory. Once he himself dealt with body image issues and today he is a celebrity fitness expert whose elite roster of clients includes members of the one of the richest families in the world.

Sharing his vulnerabilities, Channa once wrote in his blog, “The tease that I use to hear more often during my childhood days and it made me wonder if I could only get over it someday as it was quite irritating for me to concentrate on my daily activities. That was also the first and most powerful trigger when the thought of body transformation engrossed my mind.”

It is only a one last prick of the needle that bursts a balloon. After enduring all the trolling, bullying and taunts about his life, Channa decided to put a halt to all of it and take charge of his life. He further shared the beginning of his ambitious journey, “I could not take this hindrance anymore and quit my job to only concentrate on developing my body structure to look better as this is what I was too passionate to go to any extent. As I could not afford a standard well-equipped gym, I had to accommodate my training routine in a local gym by paying 5 rupees situated near my place. I went to this gym for 3 years taking out time from my part-time work as a society manager, sometimes even at odd timings in the late night but there was very little improvement in my body shape due to lack of proper guidance, techniques and adequate nutrition. I was bit disappointed but I still followed my heart and continued my search for better options.”

He officially began his bodybuilding in 1994. After toil and hard work he got his first job as a trainer and even won accolades in the field. His area of expertise as per his official website is -Weight training, Body transformation, Diet management, Nutritional guidance, Health issues or injury and any related guidance on personal strength and energy.
