Dear reader,
This issue is very special to me because I’ve been a lifelong fan of Meera Ji. She’s an icon for every Pakistani and speaking to her for this issue was an absolute honour. A huge shoutout to Mohsin, one of the nicest people I’ve had the pleasure to work with, who shot this cover. He shot Meera Ji in a way she’s never been seen before. There were so many things I wanted to ask her about her career, her personal life and so much more. I was so excited when she spoke so openly. Working with Meera Ji was a delight. She is so humble and down to earth.
Do check out Jacqueline Fernandez for Lajwanti. Lajwanti is a brand that is run by a mother-daughter duo. I’ve seen the brand grow enormously over the past few years and can’t wait to see them succeed even more. This is a huge milestone for Pakistani fashion and especially Lajwanti.
