Katrina Kaif’s beauty brand smashes yet another stereotype

Katrina Kaif’s beauty brand smashes yet another stereotype

By: Mohnish Singh

In 2019, Katrina Kaif added a new feather to her cap and turned to entrepreneurship with the launch of her make-up label Kay Beauty. The brand, which Kaif refers to as an extension of her personality and a representation of who she really is, has grown by leaps and bounds within a short span of just one year.


It would not be an exaggeration to say that Kay Beauty is much more than just yet another beauty brand by a movie star. Ever since coming into being, it has broken a slew of stereotypes, biases, and misconceptions about beauty, abundantly fulfilling the very aim of its launch.

With her beauty brand, Kaif has reached out to many women and conveyed the message of self-love and self-acceptance. Earlier this week, Kay Beauty achieved yet another feat. Challenging the stereotype that make-up is exclusively meant for women, the beauty brand reached out to social media influencers who helped spread the message that make-up is not a gendered endeavour.

Talking to social media, Kaif wrote, “#MakeupForAll! Super excited to have our amazing male influencers joining our Kay Community, testing and trying out Kay cosmetics and breaking the norms after all we always say… ItsKayToBeYou”.

On the work front, Katrina Kaif recently began the next schedule of her much-awaited film Phone Bhoot in Udaipur. Also starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ishaan Khatter in lead roles, Phone Bhoot is a horror-comedy, a genre that the actress has not attempted before. Directed by Gurmeet Singh, the film is being produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani under the banner of Excel Entertainment.

The actress is also awaiting the release of her next Sooryavanshi, co-starring Akshay Kumar. The Rohit Shetty directorial was originally slated to enter theatres in March, 2020. However, the sudden outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic led its makers to put the film’s release on hold.

Unlocking ancient healing: The power and precision of Vedic mantras

Ashwini Guruji

You may have heard of Sanjeevani Vidya, bestowed by Guru Shukracharya, which could revive the dead, or the Sanjeevani Buti that restored Lakshman’s life. Tales like Madhu Vidya, enabling immortality, and the Ashvini Kumars’ Chyawanprasha, rejuvenating Sage Chyawan, are not mere stories but the practical achievements of Vedic rishis. Masters of Creation, they understood the human body as a microcosm of the universe. The proof of these ancient sciences lies in modern scientific discoveries, many rooted in Vedic shastras. Visit www.dhyanfoundation.com to explore this connection.

Though much of this ancient knowledge has been lost in Kaliyuga and many herbs have become extinct, fragments remain accessible and potent. Divya Chikitsa Mantras from Sanatan Kriya are one such gem. These mantras use sound and vibrations to produce profound healing and transformational effects. Comprising seven mantras, they unclog energy channels (nadis), activate specific centers, and channel divine energies into the practitioner.

Agni: The sacred science of fire and its transformative power

Ashwini Guruji

Agni, the first word of the Rig Veda, holds a profound significance. It is, in fact, a wondrous element. While most are familiar with fire for its heat and light, very few understand that fire sustains our body and plays a pivotal role in cleansing it and the surrounding elements. Even fewer appreciate its role as a medium to connect with the Devlok (realm of the divine), and hardly anyone explores its potential to manifest changes within and around them. Dhyan Ashram is one such rare place in today’s world where sadhaks (practitioners) experiment with and experience the extraordinary properties of fire.

In Vedic times, yagyas were a routine practice. They were not mere rituals but a precise science designed to invoke and channel the forces of Creation through the medium of fire. The Vedic Shastras detail nearly 400 types of yagyas, each with a specific purpose.
