Alina Rai Friendships are Important.
Meet Alina Rai – the Bollywood actress known for her work in Lucknow Junction and Kamaal and also in the song Kamaal Hai alongside Badshah. Alina gained fame with her videos on social media and became popular for her striking resemblance to Katrina Kaif. This month, she graces the cover of our magazine and we really enjoyed sitting with her for this exclusive interview for our readers.
www.theciin.com
17
May, 2022
Please introduce yourself.
Hi I’m Alina Rai, I initially become popular and gained a lot of recognition from my music album song Kamaal hai featuring Badshah after that I went on working in movies and most of you may also recognise me from my comedy short videos which gained so much popularity and love, I’m so thankful for the love, acceptance and popularity my videos have gained.
Tell us about your education?
My education has been completed in England where I studied psychology before life took a complete turn and I ended up in mumbai instead.
How did you get interested in acting and modelling?
I initially came to mumbai as a model and from working with some of India’s most talented makeup artists and designers I naturally then transitioned into music albums to then of course movies. It has never been a straight forward or an easy journey I have had many ups and downs, especially as I am not from the Bollywood industry and I am an outsider. I do not have any guidance or support and so learning and navigating on my own has made my journey a learning curve in which I’m learning everyday from.
18
How did the TikTok thing all started?
One day I decided to try out tiktok and posted a video on there and before I knew it that video had shot up into the millions, at first I thought there was a glitch in the system. But as I posted more videos I realised how appreciated and popular I had become. For me it’s about putting a smile on someone’s face so if I can brighten someone’s day then my job is done. I enjoy posting comedy and entertainment to bring laughter and fun.
Tell us about some of your best modeling projects? My best modeling job would be working with a makeup artist that I use to follow on social media for many years and never
www.theciin.com
thought that I to would be working with them in india. I think it’s always amazing to be working with people who you’ve known from before as that gives you a sense of self proudness.
When did you realize that you look strikingly similar to actress Katrina Kaif? And how does it feel?
First of all katrina Kaif is absolutely stunning and her beauty is unique to her only and ofcourse she is an even more talented and hard working actress. I personally do not see the similarity myself and still trying to know how this has come about.
What qualities and attributes do you think are needed to become a good model?
Ofcourse your individuality and confidence are a key. But knowing how to use your body in angles and talking through your eyes can make the biggest difference. I don’t believe in the typical attributes of a model such a tall height and slim frame only, I feel society has moved way past that and we should too. So let’s embrace qualities instead of just appearance.
How does modelling and acting differ?
19
The main difference is a model is advertising or selling a product whereas an actor is convincing the audience with their emotions in reality of performance.
Tell us about your experiences shooting the video for the song?
I love shooting songs, it’s actually my favourite especially when the whole team is so fun. It just feels like a blast. We were out of mumbai and so exploring and we filmed along side made it a great memorable experience
What are some of your hobbies?
I really enjoy spending time with animals and so I’ve joined a group of people that go out to feed the stray dogs and cats on the streets.
May, 2022
How would you describe your personal style?
My personal style is comfortable, I always try and dress relaxed because for me style should always make you look confident and that can only happen if your comfortable in it. I tend to love a low key casual more- so jeans and a t shirt with some logo design is always very chic.
What exercise regime do you follow to stay fit?
I am currently doing a lot of dance which keeps me very active and I try to get my steps covered from walking because staying active is definitely important.
Tell us about your clothing brand?
I am definitely more about the style and look of clothing more than the brands itself.
What do you do to maintain your looks? Your beauty secrets I mean? I drink a lot of water to stay hydrated and recently I have started to sleep on my back to avoid a puffy face in the morning and I think it actually works!
20
Are friendships important to you? Who do you consider your best friends?
Ofcourse friendships are important, I have a handful of good close friends because it’s always about quality not quantity. So I have a small circle but I can truly and blindly trust these people so I consider myself blessed to have them in my life.
What projects are you working on currently?
I’m just waiting for the go ahead before I can share some good news very soon!
Tell us about projects?

MONTBLANC STAR LEGACY
A SYMBOL OF LUXURY CRAFTSMANSHIP Created in 1906, Montblanc was named after the famous Mont Blanc mountain which appealed to the brand’s founders as a symbol of luxury craftsmanship. The peak became a symbol for them to always strive for the greatest heights, and remains today, the brand’s inspiration. The Montblanc Emblem
The Montblanc emblem was created in 1913, representing a bird’s eye view of the Mont Blanc mountain with its six glacier valleys. It was this emblem that inspired the very first Montblanc Star Legacy watch collection in 1997, and which in turn, has energized this new capsule today.
Three Key Models
78
There are three key limited-edition models in this new Montblanc Star Legacy LE1786 Blue Capsule – an Automatic Date 39mm, a Moonphase 42mm, and a Chronograph 42mm. All of the models embrace the connection to the Mont Blanc with new glacier dials in dark blue. The dials are decorated with a layered ice design that was inspired by the Mer de Glace, the main glacier of the Mont Blanc mountain. The centre of the dial is created using a special stamp that reproduces this glacier texture and celebrates “The Blue Hour”, this shade of intense blue falling upon the glacier at dusk when the moon rises and the stars begin to shine.
Glacier Blue colour Dials
It was during this “Blue Hour” that Jacques Balmat became the first person to reach the summit of the Mont Blanc – at 18h23 on August 7th in 1786 – which also happens to be the number of these limited editions. Balmat was not only fascinated by the mountain, but he was also seeking gold. It is for this reason that the dials of these new timepieces are adorned with rose-gold-coated indexes and hands, celebrating this adventurer but also providing an elegant contrast with the blue glacier colour.
Montblanc Star Legacy Design Codes
There are many design elements that come into play in the Montblanc Star Legacy Collections. Their form is inspired by Minerva pocket watches from the beginning of the 20th century with their pebbleshaped cases and domed sapphire crystals, front and back. They are also recognizable thanks to their onion crowns, with the Montblanc emblem on the crown and seconds hand, railway minute track, leaf-shaped hands, and filet sauté.
Automatic Date 39mm
The Montblanc Star Legacy Automatic Date 39mm model comes in a stainless steel case with rosegold-coated hands and Arabic numerals and this www.theciin.com
eye-catching dark blue glacier colour dial. The Montblanc emblem is present on the seconds hand and on the dial just above the date, allowing them to cross paths every minute
Moonphase 42mm
The new Montblanc Star Legacy Moonphase 42mm is a complication that displays the phases of the moon at six o’clock and overlaps the glacier pattern in the background. This new timepiece now features a larger opening, making it even more visible. It includes an elegant rose-gold-coated moon and stars and is surrounded by a round date indicator.
Chronograph 42mm
The new Montblanc Star Legacy Chronograph 42mm comes with two counters at three and nine o’clock for an elegant look and important legibility. The glacier pattern can be perceived in the background, while the filet sauté has been replaced with an inner flange to bring volume to the dial. The time functions are displayed with rose-goldcoated, leaf-shaped hands, while the chronograph indications use rhodium-coated “baton” hands. The Chronograph and Moonphase come on a choice of a blue alligator leather strap or a stainless steel bracelet, while the Automatic Date comes on a blue calfskin leather strap or a stainless steel bracelet. When Balmat reached the summit on that historical evening, the colours of “The Blue Hour” would have stretched as far as his eyes could see. If ever a watch could bring a similar sense of joy and accomplishment to its owner, this could well be it! May, 2022

86
Paul Smith’s Modern Working Wardrobe is a curation of pieces designed to mirror our evolving approach to working, living and dressing, highlighting our transition to a hybrid working pattern. The Modern Working Wardrobe campaign’s purpose is to offer a versatile collection of comfortable separates which seamlessly support the shift to increasingly flexible schedules. Relaxed tailoring remains at the heart of the campaign, but suiting pieces have been mixed and matched with casual items, including sweaters, cardigans, T-shirts, polos and bomber jackets to emphasise the versatility and functionality of this new mode of dressing. Workwear elements, like denim shirts and corduroy fabrics, are worn with more traditional worsted materials, while
lightweight summer fabrics, including seersucker and canvas also appear. Shot by photographer Will Scarborough in a series of locations across London but with a distinctive global perspective, the campaign brings together a diverse cast of characters including from the first time Paul himself. In addition to Paul, Paul Smith Modern Working Wardrobe SS22's cast include Noëlla Coursaris Musunka, philanthropist, model, mother and founder and CEO of Malaika, a non-profit organisation that educates and empowers girls in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Jo Ellison, Editor of Financial Times’ How To Spend It magazine and Deputy Editor of FT Weekend. www.theciin.com

1928, THE NEW MOSAICO CREATION OF SERAPIAN
100
There is a new icon in the world of Serapian, the 1928 bag. A bold and ultramodern reinterpretation of the signature Mosaico craft, it celebrates the founding year of the Maison: that unforgettable 1928 when Stefano Serapian opened his atelier in Milano, attracted by the vibrant energy of the city. With a bigger three-dimensional variation of the pleated nappa stripes, 1928 has a stronger, innovative attitude while expressing its softness and hand-made nature. It’s a quintessentially prestigious bag, the perfect match between superb leathers and exclusive finishings. www.theciin.com
101
Its feminine colour palette depicts a sophisticated universe, where every detail becomes a work of art, starting from the Mosaicoshaped lock. 1928 bags offer different ranges of buckles, turning functionality into a unique décor: from the sleek, sophisticated leather or metal ones to the black marble variation, a homage to the marvellous marbles of Villa Mozart, Serapian’s pulsating heart in the center of Milano. To the most spectacular solutions, where Serapian made to measure artistry works with precious stones personally selected by the clients amongst malachite, rhodochrosite or amethyst. Entirely Made in Italy, the 1928 bag comes in two sizes and can also be customized according to the client’s requests, with initial engravings on the metal part of the lock. A bag that embodies the sophisticated, artistic and poetic Milanese lifestyle of Serapian, with a strong personality. May, 2022

The balconies are expanded as a part of the interior space. Therefore, these areas transform into common zones between the interior and exterior, helping to promote more activities and to alter wind speed passing through the areas. Outside of the house, the garden spaces are the kids' favourite areas, and alternate with other functional spaces such as the dining room, the bedroom, and the living room. Functional areas were created both inside and outside of the house in order to intertwine with each other. The more we interact and feel nature directly, the greater the opportunities for fostering the ability to share and respect nature. The indoor courtyard and the outside garden on the ground floor are separated and shaped by shadows cast by the walls. Awakening each morning to the smell of roasted coffee in the air, complemented by a peaceful choice of music, presents an interesting start to the day. www.theciin.com

Corvette to go Electric! The longest running nameplate of any car on the road today is undergoing one of its most fundamental transformations ever: electrification. In addition to the new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and other future gas-powered variants, Chevrolet will soon offer two new Corvette variants, an electrified and a fully electric, Ultium-based Corvette. More details and market availability will be revealed at a later date, but the electrified Corvette is expected in the US as early as 2023.
122
While details are yet to be announced, performance aficionados already know that these vehicles will be extraordinary. Every new Corvette has been better than the one before it and these vehicles will be no exception. The Corvette engineering team, who are based in the EV space in Warren, Michigan will continue to focus on all the things that have made, and will continue to make, Corvette, revolutionary. In addition, GM also announced Ultium Platform’s energy recovery system, a patented onboard system that takes the heat generated by EV batteries and uses it to warm the cabin, create more efficient charging conditions, and even increase vehicle acceleration. And it can boost the vehicle’s range by about 10%. It’s a perfect example of how developing a ground-up EV platform like Ultium enables unique features not easily done with a retrofit. www.theciin.com

TAKING OFF

SHINING MALTA
A visit to the Maltese Islands is a perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in centuries of history while enjoying the very best of modern life, with curated experiences to meet your personal desires. 124
www.theciin.com
125
www.visitmalta.com May, 2022
126 People who visit Malta for the first time are pleasantly surprised by the richness and diversity of what it provides as a holiday destination. The country has tremendous character and offers so many authentic experiences. It is steeped in history and its architecture is stunning. It hosts temples older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids. Cultural life is vibrant with a busy programme of theatre, concerts and art exhibitions. The coastline is alive with activity, as divers, sailors and swimmers enjoy the clear blue waters of the Med. Gastronomic creations whet the appetite. There is a wide choice of activities - wine tasting, watching artisans at work, action sports and boat trips being just a few. Once you embark on your own journey of discovery, you will find there is much more than meets the eye. Located at the centre of the Mediterranean, Malta is made up of three islands. The main island of the archipelago is also called Malta. The smaller islands are Gozo and Comino. Each has its own character; they are compact and easy to get around, and easy to reach. Short ferry hops link Gozo and Comino with the main island. Malta is stunning in its beauty. Its charm lies in rocky coves, bays, cliffs and a few sandy beaches. About a third of the island is arable land with ancient, cultivated terraces cut into the hillsides for crop growing. Wetlands attract scores of species of birds, and plants and wildflowers are in abundance. The landscape of Malta, and Gozo too, is dominated by limestone deposits. The limestone is quarried and used in construction, giving the urban landscape a rich, honey-coloured hue. Gozo is significantly greener than Malta. The island is less developed too, providing an air of tranquillity. Its most notable physical features are its hills. They are distinct landmarks, visible from miles away and providing superb sea views. www.theciin.com
127 Situated half-way between the two main islands, Comino is smaller in size and mainly low-lying. The highest point is just 68 metres above sea level. The coastline is rugged and delineated by limestone cliffs and caves. With so many rich and colourful traditions which have withstood the test of time, the amount of pride the Maltese have for their culture is highly understandable. With elaborate fireworks displays, rowdy village festas, and outstanding hospitality, not to mention the mindblowingly delicious food, the sheer magnetism of Maltese culture is apparent everywhere you go, making it almost impossible not to be drawn in. Wherever you go on the islands, you will find reminders of Malta’s exciting history, from ancient temples to stunning architecture. From the capital of Malta, Valletta, to the capital of Gozo, Victoria, and in many places in between, the history is engulfing. The capital, Valletta, is an outstanding attraction and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While many European cities have a quarter called the Old Town, Valletta doesn’t because the whole city qualifies as such. The legacy and treasures of the Knights of St John are abundant. The Knights came from the wealthiest Catholic families across Europe and ran Malta for the best part of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Their palaces, forts, bastions and churches are there to be explored. In the heart of Valletta lies St John’s Co-Cathedral. Dating back to 1577, it offers rich Baroque art, frescos, ornate marble floors, carved stone walls and breath-taking vaulted ceilings decorated by the Italian Baroque artist, Mattia Preti. A prized possession is Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio’s ‘The Beheading of St John the Baptist’ (1608). It is the largest painting by Caravaggio and the only one to bear his signature. May, 2022
128
Nearby is the Grandmaster’s Palace boasting sumptuous staterooms and an impressive armoury. It is situated on St George’s Square, an ideal place to sit a while to people watch. The city is easy to explore. As you enter through City Gate from the open piazza, adorned by the beautifully restored Tritons’ Fountain, you will find the modern Parliament building, designed by renowned Italian architect Renzo Piano, juxtaposed with the classical architecture of the open-air opera house. Elsewhere in the city, the exquisite Manoel Theatre, dating from 1731, offers concerts and live performances and is embellished with wooded tiers of boxes decorated with gold leaf. Fort St Elmo hosts the National War Museum, displaying the George Cross, awarded by Britain’s King George VI for the bravery of the Maltese people during the Second World War. The Auberge de Provence, one of the most elaborately decorated baroque buildings in Valletta, is home to the Museum of Archaeology. And the Auberge d’Italie houses MUŻA, the Malta National Community Art Museum. The Valletta Waterfront offers a promenade lined with stylish restaurants in restored baroque buildings and is home to cruise liners and pleasure boats. And the city bounds with striking churches, art galleries, boutiques, shops and cafés. Republic Street is the main thoroughfare and a major shopping street. Brightly lit shops nest within historic buildings. The place is alive with colour and character as businesspeople and lawyers from the courts mix among shoppers and tourists. The occasional parade welcomes a foreign dignitary, street musicians play, and people pause in cafés to sip their cappuccino, eat a gelato and take in the Valletta vibe.

Space travel in the heart of the megacity
The Audi urbansphere
Systematically designed from the inside out, Audi has unveiled plans for the Audi urbansphere concept car. Designers and engineers initially created the Audi urbansphere for use in traffic-dense Chinese megacities, although the concept is also suitable for any other metropolitan centre in the world. In these urban areas, where personal space is in particularly short supply, the concept car offers the largest interior space of any Audi to date. It intelligently coordinates this with technologies and digital services that appeal to all the senses and offer a whole new level of experience.
130

132
The result can be seen in the Audi urbansphere concept and its particularly striking interior. The spacious automobile acts as a lounge on wheels and a mobile office, serving as a living space during the time spent in traffic. To this end, the Audi urbansphere combines the luxury of complete privacy with a comprehensive range of high-tech features on board, even during the daily rush hour. Automated driving technology transforms the interior, in which a steering wheel, pedals, or displays are notably absent, into a mobile interactive space that provides a gateway to a wider digital ecosystem.
Audi sphere – first class to the power of three
Audi skysphere, Audi grandsphere, and Audi urbansphere are the three concept cars that the brand with the four rings has developed to showcase its vision for the world of premium mobility of tomorrow. In the process, Audi is creating a vehicle experience that goes far beyond the purpose of merely spending time in a car to get from point A to point B. Sphere number 1: The electrically driven roadster Audi skysphere concept debuted in August 2021. It presented a spectacular vision of a self-driving GT that transforms into a self-driving sports car with a variable wheelbase. Just a few weeks later, Audi unveiled the second model in the sphere series, the Audi grandsphere concept, at the IAA 2021. This large four-seater sedan exemplified the brand’s ambition to define the future of progressive luxury. What both concept cars have in common with the Audi urbansphere is that the entire concept is based on level 4 autonomous vehicle technology. Audi is currently working with
CARIAD, Volkswagen Group’s software business, to introduce this technology within the second half of the decade.
Fast charging, high range
The heart of the drive system is the 800-volt charging technology. It ensures that the battery can be charged with up to 270 kilowatts at fast-charging stations in the shortest possible time. As such, charging times approach those of a conventional stop to refuel a car powered by an internal combustion engine: just 10 minutes are enough to charge the battery to a level sufficient to power the car to travel more than 300 kilometres (186 miles). In addition, the battery, which holds more than 120 kilowatt hours, can be charged from 5 to 80 percent in less than 25 minutes. This means that a range of up to 750 kilometres (466 miles) can be expected, according to the WLTP standard – and even when used for more energy-intensive city and short-distance trips, it is generally possible to avoid making unexpected stops to charge.
Drive system
The Audi urbansphere concept’s two electric motors are capable of delivering a total output of 295 kilowatts and a system torque of 690 newton metres. These are impressive figures that are often not fully utilised when driving in dense urban traffic. Nevertheless, the Audi urbansphere is still equipped with permanent quattro four-wheel drive – an essential feature for the brand’s high-performance models. As part of Audi’s vision of progress and plans for future mobility, one of these new concept cars, the Audi urbansphere, is currently on display at the Museum of the Future this Ramadan as part of a new partnership. www.theciin.com
“In order to meet the demands of our Chinese customers, Audi’s design studios in Beijing and Ingolstadt worked together closely to jointly develop the Audi urbansphere concept car,” said Markus Duesmann, Chairman of the Board Management at AUDI AG and responsible for the Chinese market. “For the first time, potential customers in China could also take part in the development process, contributing their own desires and perspectives as part of a process known as ‘co-creation’.”
