| The 'It' Girl |
| Diana Penty’s journey began as an ingénue in her debut film. Since then, she has continued pushing boundaries, as is evident in her diverse movie choices such as Happy Bhag Jayegi and Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran. And that’s not all for our cover star! She has also impressed the audience and fashion critics with her recent appearances at the Cannes Film Festival and Paris Haute Couture Week. In a candid conversation with Aza, the stunner opens up about her evolution in the entertainment industry, her childhood aspirations, her upcoming projects alongside Bollywood bigwigs, and much more. Also in the magazine: Aza lists celebrity brides who wore wedding charms unique to them and those who hosted their nuptials in the intimate embrace of their homes.

| The Celebration Issue |
| Shriya Saran is in a happy space. The actor’s last project, Drishyam 2 entered the 200-crore club, she has a pan-India film Kabzaa lined up for release. And in conversation with Aza, Shriya revealed she’s working on a children’s apparel line – an ode to her daughter, Radha. For obvious reasons, the actor is an apt muse for Aza’s Celebration Issue. Also in the magazine: With an eye on the upcoming wedding season, we are presenting the ultimate bridal black book with event-wise wardrobe must-haves, celebrity jewellery style pointers, and a compilation of blingy accessories to make a lasting fashion statement. Do sift through the Aza X Celebrity Lookbook as we revisit our cover shoots of 2022, featuring global influencers and noted names in Indian cinema. Take our word for it – the best is yet to come! |

| The Dopamine Issue |
| If there’s one word I could use to describe the livewire that’s Nushrratt Bharuccha, it’s “Filmi” – yes, with a capital “F”. But we also love that she takes time to “do nothing” between projects, to shed the heaviness of a role once it’s completed so she can return to being the bubbly, cutely melodramatic and decisive Nushrratt we all adore. She follows her heart and how! And for that, it was a no-brainer for us to choose the actor as our muse for Aza’s Happiness Issue. In conversation with Aza, Nushrratt opens up on cinema, relationships and more. Also in the issue: luxury designer Aisha Rao on celebrating nature as a work of art, ace designers on inclusivity in fashion, wedding diaries of real Aza brides, and three body positivity influencers we love. |

| ‘Tis the season of Spring blooms and clear blue skies, and we can’t stop smiling! With renewed optimism in a mindful environment, we are celebrating the luxury of life and beauty. Gracing our cover is television’s golden child and social media sweetheart Hina Khan in decadent pieces of couture, freshly sourced from Aza. Also in the issue: ace couturier Seema Gujral on bridal fashion trends for 2022 (and psst... a likely menswear line!), evolution of wedding design with a focus on sustainability, a groom’s guide to stealing hearts, and lots more. Also, presenting (and a big shout-out to!) our #BridesOfAza, who keep us striving to deliver the absolute best, every single time. |

| The Nooraniyat Issue |
| Aza's April issue is dedicated to Manish Malhotra's latest couture collection, Nooraniyat, featuring the effervescent actor and Bollywood's newest superstar - Sara Ali Khan. With clothes that are a juxtaposition of old-world regalia and new world design sensibilities, much like the brides of today who have inspired the collection, they are a treat both visually and sartorially. Plus, additional styling tip from celebrity stylist Mohit Rai on how to style these one-of-a-kind couture wonders! |

| The Sustainability Special |
| The 10th issue of the Aza Magazine is based on a simple premise: everything is ephemeral, but some things are more permanent than others. Like our love for classic silhouettes. Sure, we have rejigged these classics with hints of contemporary elements to make them more fitting of 2021's fashion lexicon, and even that is a testament to their indelibility. If anything, the time spent in solitude has inspired designers to revive them and present them to their new audience in mod ways they can relate. While the pandemic has piqued our creativity, it has also lead to a sense of appreciation for things we've taken for granted, the planet being number one on that list. Perhaps why putting Dia Mirza, the actress, the producer, and the activist, on the cover of this issue was a no-brainer. If she doesn't embody the spirit of fighting for the greater good, we don't know who does. |

| Couture is Not Cancelled |
| In this issue, we are celebrating couture instead of relegating it unimportant. We are shifting focus away from one-time-wear garments to high-quality, handcrafted creations that can be treasured, repeated, and passed down through generations - because, in a world that's so fast-changing, these pieces of sartorial wonder are the only ones bearing any semblance to permanence. With us is our cover star, Mrunal Thakur, who embodies the spirit of a bride who is as new-age as she is a traditionalist. |

| The Empowerment Issue |
| As we welcome a new decade, it has become more important than ever to talk about subjects that are close to our hearts. And if fashion is a reflection of the current zeitgeist, there's no time like now to introduce the world to our 8th volume - The Empowerment Issue. Emblazoning our cover is Sania Mirza, who talks about balancing motherhood and making a comeback in tennis. Alongside her are 7 other women - Anita Dongre, Raja Kumari, and Garima Arora to name a few - each a heavy-hitter in their respective field who are also emblematic of the spirit of the new-age women we idolize. And while we are at it, we also threw in the latest trends in fashion that are worthy of deciding the contents of a modern woman's closet. |

| The Celebration Issue |
| Enjoy the trans-seasonal issue of the Aza Magazine that is dedicated to celebrating change. And who better to talk about paradigm shifts than our cover girl, Swara Bhasker, who is emblematic of this proverbial change in Bollywood. In a time when the industry is infamous for being cushy on star kids and those ranging from a privileged lineage, Swara proves how an ordinary girl arrived in the city of dreams in a Rajdhani Express and is conquering the industry, one meaningful role at a time. |
