Dear Readers,

They say no one in this world can make a girl feel like a queen more than her father, and it's true in the case of actress Kajal Aggarwal. In celebration of Father’s Day this Sunday, June 20, we have the extremely talented and vivacious actress with her passionate and accomplished entrepreneur father, Vinay Aggarwal, on the cover. The dynamic duo's relationship is that of an understanding friendship with a bit of protectiveness and possessiveness thrown in. The actress talks to us about her most cherished moments with her father and her plans for Father's Day. She also reveals her upcoming projects and expresses how life after marriage has been. Turn to Cover Story to read the full scoop.

Father’s Day is all about celebrating the dads and father figures in your life. And it’s remarkable how fatherhood can profoundly change a man. From taking the first steps, trying to peddle the cycle for the first time to finding a shoulder to cry on when the world falls apart – fathers are the one person whose sight comes with the surety of safety. In honour of dad’s special day, You & I spoke to some famous faces in the city to find out how they celebrate this holiday, and what makes it so special for them.

The special theme continues in our People in Focus, where we speak to Eshaan Giri, a successful photographer and he is a dedicated father to a baby boy. Here, he gives us a glimpse into his world and how he strives to become a better dad to his wonderful kid.

We also have Alex Newgard, an expat from the USA, shedding a revealing light on his stay in Hyderabad during the pandemic. In his interview, the expatriate acknowledges having to make some minor adjustments when he moved from the USA with his family; however, the culture, the care, and the diverse local community have more than made up for what he misses about home! 

While families cannot step out to celebrate Father’s Day, the true essence of the day comes alive when fathers get to spend quality time with their children. Do go to this week’s Mind & Body, where we tell you how learning a new skill with your children makes parenting more joyful for you. Last but not least, Grand Getaways takes us to Havelock in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands with Priyanka Chauhan, whose summer holiday with her husband Nikhil was nothing short of a beautiful collection of memories
