fwd life Happy Birthday Aishwarya

Believe it or not, this timeless beauty turns 44 today

Text: Rochelle D’Souza

Beauty has long been associated with Greek Goddesses but that was until this day 44 years ago, for on that day the Indian subcontinent was bestowed with a Goddess of our own, and we named her Aishwarya!

We know that we just ended up sounding like a swooning school girl, but how can we not? Ash just turned 44 today – that’s right, and she doesn’t look a day over 28 – and while we are in awe of her beauty and everything she has achieved (and while we also want to crawl under a rock and die when we think about what we’d look like at her age). Here’s wishing this glamorous diva a very Happy Birthday! And while we’re at it, here’s a walk down Ash’s memory lane to see some of her iconic moments through history. Read and weep ladies, read and weep.

Ash’s journey into stardom began after she was crowned Miss India and then went on to leave the world head over heels in love with her after clinching the Miss World title in 1994.

Aishwarya graced the silver screen thereafter and one of her earliest hits was the movie Taal. Her dance routine in the film is still one that we remember and occasionally groove to.

She broke a million hearts (the collective sound of which would be heard at the farthest ends of the South Pole) when we revealed that she would be marrying into Bollywood’s first family, the Bachans. Mashallah, she and Abhishek have had a long and blissful marriage ever since.

Her portrayal of Jodha Bhai, though meant to be overshadowed by Hrithik’s performance, still captivates audiences today. Not only did she slay the ethnic look, but he haunting looks of sadness still give us the feels.

And as if she hasn’t achieved enough already, she is also the brand ambassador and the face for L’Oreal Paris. We can just hear her iconic rendition of the word ‘Because you’re worth it!’ in our ears as we see this.

Following a brief hiatus from cinema, she returned to the silver screens for a short cameo in Karan Johar’s Yeh Dil He Mushkil where she played the extremely wise and extremely desirable older woman who Ranbir romances. Honestly, we watched the movie just for a glimpse of her (and Fawad <3)

And while the rest of the world may think that by the time you hit 44 you ought to hide within you knitted cardigan and take up potting succulents in your free time Aishwarya Rai Bachan proves to them, that 44 is the new 24 and that you can slay at any age, as long as you have the attitude to go with it.

5 Sustainable Interior Design Trends to Embrace in 2024

Published

on

As the world becomes increasingly aware of the importance of sustainability, it’s no surprise that eco-friendly practices are making their way into the realm of interior design. In 2024, we can expect to see a surge in sustainable interior design trends that not only enhance the beauty of our living spaces but also minimise our environmental footprint. From repurposed materials to energy-efficient solutions, here are five sustainable interior design trends to embrace this year.

Upcycled Furniture:

One of the most prominent sustainable interior design trends of 2024 is the use of upcycled furniture. Instead of buying new pieces, consider giving old furniture a new lease on life by refurbishing or repurposing them. From reclaimed wood tables to refurbished chairs, upcycled furniture adds character and charm to your space while reducing waste and conserving resources.

Biophilic Design:

Biophilic design, which emphasizes a connection to nature, continues to gain popularity in 2024. Integrating natural elements such as plants, natural light, and organic materials into your interior design not only enhances aesthetics but also promotes well-being and sustainability. Consider incorporating living walls, indoor gardens, and sustainable wood finishes to bring the outdoors inside and create a healthier living environment.

Energy-Efficient Lighting:

With a growing focus on energy conservation, energy-efficient lighting solutions are becoming a staple in sustainable interior design. LED lights, in particular, consume significantly less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and last much longer, reducing both energy consumption and maintenance costs. Additionally, consider incorporating natural light sources such as skylights and large windows to maximize daylight and minimize the need for artificial lighting during the day.

Sustainable Textiles:

When it comes to upholstery and soft furnishings, opting for sustainable textiles is key to reducing environmental impact. Look for fabrics made from organic or recycled materials, such as organic cotton, hemp, bamboo, or recycled polyester. These materials not only reduce the use of harmful chemicals and pesticides but also minimize waste and support eco-friendly production practices. Additionally, consider investing in durable, high-quality textiles that stand the test of time, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Smart Home Technology:

In 2024, smart home technology continues to evolve, offering innovative solutions for sustainable living. From smart thermostats that optimize energy usage to home automation systems that control lighting and appliances, these technologies can help reduce energy consumption and increase efficiency in your home. Additionally, smart home devices such as occupancy sensors and smart meters provide valuable insights into your energy usage, empowering you to make informed decisions about resource management and conservation.

As we strive to create more sustainable living environments, embracing these five interior design trends can help reduce our environmental impact while creating beautiful and functional spaces. Whether you’re upcycling old furniture, incorporating natural elements, or investing in energy-efficient technologies, every sustainable choice contributes to a greener future for generations to come. So let’s embrace these trends and make sustainability a cornerstone of our interior design practices in 2024 and beyond.
