E D I TO R ’ S N OT E

EDITOR’S NOTE Nishee Stephen The month of May is widely recognized as a celebration of Motherhood. We salute all Mothers who selflessly sacrifice their needs to raise their children and serve their families. Mothers who play versatile roles to fit into the needs of their loved ones; being a good friend to provide support to their children, teachers to help their children learn, chefs to cook for their family, stylists so their children always look ravishing, and other endless roles that they constantly try to adapt. However, it doesn’t here. Today’s mothers are balancing their working lives and their familial lives - and honestly, they’re absolutely excellent at it! Despite their never-ending contribution and efforts, they are often assumed to be perfect. Their flaws are often questioned and seen as inadequacies. But one thing that we can always learn from mothers is their will to never give up. On this Mother’s day, I would like to thank each and every Mother for their relentless efforts in making a family and serving it till the end of time. All Mothers deserve pampering, so in this edition, we bring lots of gifting options for Mothers. Rudy Rahul Sharma, a resolute virtuoso, is featured on the cover page and cover story. G-Town is delighted to share his story with the readers.

Q. How did your journey start as a versatile artist?

Q. Despite being a dermatologist, how did you decide to take the road to artistry?

R: I developed a passion for being an artist in my adolescence. I believed it in my heart and pursued it during school. I began participating in my school plays and even won an award for ‘The Best Actor’ in a Hindi play in class twelfth. After completing school, I made my education my primary goal so I finished my Doctor of Medicine degree in dermatology. Once I become financially independent soon after I received my degree, I invested in my dreams. I have always dreamt of being an actor and knew this was my opportunity to finally follow that dream. I began my acting journey with album songs while I simultaneously learned acting in theatre acting and multiple workshops. With the sole purpose of polishing and improving my acting, I grabbed every opportunity I could to learn. Equipped with the knowledge and skill I had developed, I started acting in movies. Meanwhile, I learned violin and guitar.

R: Completing my education in Dermatology was an achievement for me and it made me immensely proud. It was quite fulfilling for my brain. On the contrary, being an artist is an achievement for my heart. It is rewarding for my heart and it has always been that way.

Q. What is the one challenge that has prevailed or seemed most difficult to overcome? R: The one thing I have struggled with throughout is time management. Juggling between different skills sometimes becomes strenuous, especially because there are only twenty-four hours in a day and not enough time to give to each one of my skills and get the daily chores done. I am learning to manage my time better because I truly relish being an artist and performing for my audience. However, I do find myself to be most comfortable when I am doing mono-acting shows. Q. What is the one thing that you truly love about being an artist? R: The best thing about being an artist is that it can leave a great emotional impact on the audience. An artist holds the power to influence his audience with his performance, which I believe to be very overwhelming for me too. There have been artists that have transformed the world into an ideal beautiful lively place and I wish to do just that.

Q. We learned that you lost over 19 kilograms to fit the roles you anticipated best. Please share the secret of your fitness journey with our audience. R: I have always taken health quite earnestly and it was easy to formulate a diet plan. As most fitness enthusiasts would know, diet is a crucial factor in one’s fitness journey, so I paid extra attention to that. Initially, I switched to a calorie-deficit diet and it was outright onerous but I managed eventually as I grew habitual to it. Moreover, fitness is an essential element in an Actor’s career because it makes you more adaptable to play challenging roles. Q. You’ve done over 30 acting projects, which one would you pick to be your personal favorite? R: I think my personal favorite is yet to come as I have many more projects on the way and I am very excited about them. So far, my song Dil-ENadaan depicting the power of love is quite close to my heart. I remember writing this song with sheer devotion and it received generous appreciation from the audience. Q. What are your plans for the future? R: Well, in simpler terms, my plan is to expand my brand. I plan on constructing a team of people that carry similar interests and will help me strengthen my own film production house - Rudy Rahul Creativity. Furthermore, I am also looking forward to adding more songs to my banner named Rudy Rahul Records.

Q. Apart from what we have already learned about you, would you like to share your hidden talents with the readers? R: I am not really a secretive person so I don’t think I can tell you anything that’s a secret (laughs). But I do wish to become a Politician in the future because I would love to nurture my leadership skills and actually put them to good use, especially in societal terms. Q. Who is your dream co-star to work with in the future? R: Rani Mukherjee has always been my crush. She was actually my very first crush in Bollywood. I would definitely love to work with her in the future. Q. Can you tell our readers a little bit about your upcoming projects? R: I am very thrilled to share that I have six upcoming movies and some will be released by July. They are more of a self-made movie as I have directed them and written them. I’m very excited about their release and I hope my audience enjoys them. Q. If you were ever given a chance to replace any character in any existing Bollywood movie, which one would it be? R: I can’t replace any character because all actors have done an outstanding job in playing them and bringing justice to the character. But if I were to choose, I would love to be a part of Three Idiots Movie because I remember going through a similar experience during my MBBS. Q. One piece of advice that you would like to share with aspiring young actors in the industry? R: My humble advice is to keep a balance between your passion and your actual job. I think it’s very important to be financially stable and educationally strong to be on the safer side. Q. What is your life motto that you truly stick by? R: The one motto I follow is to always keep my family first. I believe that I am a family person and I will always prioritize my family first, then my dreams. I follow it religiously.

BEAT THE HEAT with the Only Product You Need this Summer

Summertime is almost here and excitement is at an all-time high. Unfortunately, so is the level of sun exposure that comes with it. The UV rays from the sun can be extremely harmful for our skin and it is imperative to pay extra attention to it during the summer months. While you can stick to your tried and tested skincare regimen for the most part, sunscreen is the one holy grail product that will help you beat the heat this summer. We can’t talk about summer skincare without covering sun protection. Wearing sunscreen is essential all year long, but even more so in the summer. The sun isn’t only stronger, but the days are also longer.

ORA D’ORO By Nikhil Maheshwari

bootstrapped beauty brand, built on the freedom to express your true self through beauty and have fun with your makeup, without the worries of harming your skin. Ora d’oro Beauty offers premium beauty with skin-loving ingredients that help customers to make better beaty decisions and nourish their skin.

Nikhil Maheshwari with a profound knowledge backed up with a degree in Business Management and Construction from the United Kingdom developed Ora D’oro Beauty to bring make up and skincare under one roof in 2018. He hails from a business family in Jaipur, having strong roots in the real estate industry. Despite being associated with an ever-growing real estate market, he wanted to create something of his own from the ground up. He yearned to express his creative side and at the same time be recognized by people who he would be serving. Nikhil quips that clean beauty is a farce and not all chemicals are bad. It’ll be good to adopt a different type of clean which means cleaning the environment and being sustainable.

Ora d’oro Beauty does not use ingredients that are bad for skin health, but that doesn’t mean they are chemical-free. Moreover, the products are sensorial which means that customers love how they are to touch, feel, smell and look. He is the only male founder in the color cosmetics industry in India in an individual capacity. For him, it is about understanding the product and the psychology of the consumer it is going to serve. Businesses should promote inclusivity across all sectors. He thinks if anyone and everyone can use makeup then there shouldn’t be a specific gender to create it. Inclusivity doesn’t stop at just creating colors for all skin tones but in every action one takes. This is reflected in the brand ethos.

May ‘22

Out of the countless business ideas that Nikhil tried his hands-on, nothing felt more exciting and fulfilling than using beauty as an industry to shape lives. He didn’t want to put out just ‘another brand’ doing the same shit, so before he jumped into execution, he invested an entire year studying the market and analyzing how the industry works. He attended trade shows in Korea, Mumbai, and Hong Kong to understand how the segment was evolving. Back in 2018, when K beauty was slowly picking pace, visiting these places and interacting with manufacturers, peers and other brands helped him figure out how he wanted to do business and what were the no-go areas.

Ora d’oro Beauty came into being for every contemporary makeup-loving, skincare-conscious person. To redefine limits and push the possibilities in the beauty industry, Nikhil turned to no one but the best – Italy. Dripping in decades of history, a legacy the world looks up to, art that is etched in the folds of time, and a culture that inspires endlessly. Italy served as an inspiration beyond just the name, Ora d’oro Beauty, which means the ‘golden hour’ in Italian. Nikhil instantly fell in love with the meaning and wanted to incorporate it into every brand communication.

With extensive research in skincare-centered makeup and the inherent wisdom and creative intuition of Italian artisans, Ora d’oro Beauty products have become a part of the coveted Italian heritage. The efforts have been to distill the spirit of Italian craftsmanship, its legendary fashion, its millennium-spanning architectural history, aspirational beauty, and the honey-soaked language into practice. You would see the packaging is gold and so is the logo. Gold is timeless and spells luxe. Nikhil went deeper into the golden hour concept and connected it to the sun, the cosmos, and that has beautifully lent itself to the brand’s color selection. Dipped in classic golden hues that reflect the luxuriousness inside, the product packaging is Italian cosmopolitan chic at its best. Ora d’oro Beauty didn’t have a USP from the start because Nikhil wanted to learn and evolve along the way, so he could come up with something unique to the brand that resonates with his vision. He wanted to create luxurious, high-performance proucts without giving in to fads but creating something which transcends. Since luxe and premium were right up his alley, he focused on consumer behavior, their needs, and the gaps that could be filled at accessible pricing. Many brands make big claims but the truth is, their offerings are never substantiated. Nikhil wanted Ora d’oro Beauty to be known by the name, which stands true to what it shows. It was never only about glamour and colors, but also about the science and benefits that backed it up. This has largely shaped the product development at Ora d’oro Beauty.

May ‘22

In addition, sustainability was a major factor that Nikhil wanted to emphasize, and that is expressed through all brand visuals, messaging, and footprints. The buildable range of high-performing, multi-use and long-lasting products in a spectrum of colors have a fuss-free one-swipe application, explosive pigments, and are boosted with scientifically-proven activities. All products are completely plastic-neutral and formulated to cater to all skin tones and every skincare need. Makeup is a big part of self-expression as skincare is for self-love and self-care. Ora d’oro Beauty has combined the two by creating a complete portfolio of multi-tasking color cosmetics that would work as makeup and skincare. The use of these products will not compromise your skin health, instead, boost it. Customers want products that don’t hurt them or the animals they love. Ora d’oro Beauty is a PETA-certified vegan and cruelty-free beauty brand. In their portfolio expansion plan, the next product launch is an extremely hydrating blush. It is a versatile product and can be used as a lip stain as well as eyeshadow. Ora d’oro Beauty plans to retail in Italy and has a roadmap for the same. As for other markets, they are in talks with a couple of retailers in Dubai.

Rajasi Jindal

a gift from a mother to her kids May ‘22

ave you ever thought of gifting a new born baby in your family a fine piece of jewelry, perhaps for good wishes or Nazar? If you have, you’d know that the options available in the current market are limited to say the least. And if you do land your eyes on something that you like, it is not usually baby-proof or free of sharp edges. That’s where the brand Rajasi Jindal comes into play with its impeccable designs with fine attention to detail, with products that are hypoallergenic and lightweight, with NO sharp edges. Her collection is specifically designed for 6 months to 4 years old infants.

Though Rajasi didn’t always want to be a kids’ jewelry designer, it was just something that came along her way. Her family background ironically lay in machinery and related hardware products; but Rajasi loved the idea of delicate, adorable and detailed high jewelry. After working her way as a jewelry designer for quite some time, the idea for an all-exclusive kid’s jewelry brand hit her. Now the line of Rajasi Jindal deals in Hallmarked Gold, Sterling Silver, Swarovski, and Pearl Jewelry. But a never-heard concept of this brand, had its own tests and challenges. The adorable ones often grow out the jewelry pieces in less than a year, the pieces cannot be more than 2-3 grams in weight for the convenience of it and making a name for her venture were a few of those issues. But once her designs hit the website, the word quickly got out. Everything, from the awed reaction of the parents to their babies wearing her jewelry to the look of her tiny little bracelets, earrings, necklaces and bangles on a newborn prompted Rajasi Jindal to take it further, one step at a time.

Her newest inspiration is the new line of ornaments created for Moms-to-be designed with the same delicacy and attention to details. And now, after all that went behind the Rajasi Jindal Label, she aims to see every little one in India wearing her designs. You can check out all that they have to offer on www.rajasijindal.com and https://www. instagram.com/rajasijindal/

COLORS THAT BEAT THE HEAT By Kashish Gidwani

“This season’s eye blinding color palette is so disturbingly bright that you’d need sunglasses (which too, have been mentioned in this list).” After an extended winter and its monotonous color palette, comprising of the same tones of black, beige and blue, the entire fashion world was expecting a sharp rise in gradients. Sure, the cold wasn’t so bad, but what we’ve now got, is a loud, neon toned rainbow wardrobe; ranging from dresses, sarees, scarves, patterned heels and even everyday Makeup. We’ve all seen the neon craze in 1980’s and 90’s. Though the trend gradually dropped over the decades, it’s now seeing rebirth all over Instagram. As influential as runways are, Gen-Z and millennial generation still draws their inspiration from TikTok and Instagram. Not everyone is a fan of the dramatic hues in the season, so we’ve kept it all low-key.

POWER DRESSES Image courtsey: Zara

Power dresses give you the expression of authority, be it in a workplace or a casual dinner with your pals. They are the new ‘it’ corporate attire and they look like you spent a large amount of time on your outfit when you barely put a dress over your shoulder. Pair a Blazer dress with Solid block heels and minimal accessories to make the most out of this look.

SAREES

The crazy colors of the season aren’t just limited to statement dresses and accessories, take this Sunflower Yellow Saree from Sabyasachi for example. With feminine detailing with embellishments, tassels and embroidery; this Wedding look from head to toe is screaming at us for attention. To style the look, select a radiant color saree but keep the accessories light and makeup minimal.

FOOTWEAR Image courtsey: Zara

More often than not, neon is a color that is best when worn in little doses. A pair of shoes or a belt might do the trick for those who are shy. Pair a Flashy neon pair of pumps or printed block heels with an LBD for your next night out in town. You can also experiment with the prints, textures and the type of heels.

HOME DECOR Image courtsey: Pinterest

Interior designers have something to say about a pop of color here and there in your living room. In traditional spaces, neon colors are said to brighten up your mood. Imagine a popping orange colored cooking pot in your Kitchen or a vibrant pink colored sofa cushions in your otherwise monotonous living room.

MAKE UP Image courtsey: Pinterest

Yes! Neon Eye shadows and eye liners first came in 2019 summer but the trend is not dying down even in 2022. It’s everywhere from high fashion runways to Instagram posts and YouTube blogs. It looks amazing on all Brown Skin tones. Just pop an intense colored eyeshadow on the lid of your eye or apply a blue or pink eyeliner on an overall minimal makeup.

Exposure to the sun not only tans the skin but also causes skin problems like dark spots and hyper pigmentation. Harmful UV radiation strips the skin of its moisture content and eventually makes it appear pale and dull. Kama Ayurveda brings you top picks to protect your skin from the harsh sun this summer.
