Soha Ali Khan is warm, witty, and, by her own admission, a little bit crazy at 8 pm. Not in a bad way. In the way that only parents who have a non-negotiable bedtime for their child understand completely.

They may listen to the same story for the tenth time, answer endless questions, tell stories from a world the child has never seen and, sometimes, simply sit beside them without asking anything at all.It is easy to dismiss these moments as…
Since the word “Hariyali” refers to greenery, why not take that idea literally? Choose a design made up mostly of leaves, vines, small flowers and delicate branches. Instead of covering the entire hand, let the motifs travel across the palm and fingers in a more scattered pattern. It has a fresh, slightly modern feel and…
