Some homes are constructed with brick and mortar. Others are built with laughter echoing through corridors, memories layered into walls, and a sense of belonging that grows quietly over time. The premiere episode of Asian Paints Where The Heart Is Season 9 invites viewers into one such deeply personal sanctuary... the Spanish-style villa of Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi, tucked away in the tranquil embrace of Mumbai’s Madh Island. As the series returns with renewed warmth and authenticity, this opening episode sets the tone with a story that feels lived-in, heartfelt, and profoundly real... TheGlitz reports.

Each Republic Day, India drapes itself in a tapestry of heritage, ceremony, and cinematic splendour — yet beyond the streets and screens, another celebration quietly unfolds — one of ingenuity, craft, and creative sovereignty. Luxury, once defined by imported labels and ostentation, is now being reimagined as an Indian story told in gold, silk, fragrance, and design. It is a new India crafted in the nation’s finest ateliers, studios, and boutique experiences… where elegance meets conscience, and style carries substance.

In 2026, the world of beauty is defining itself not by fleeting gimmicks but by experience, intention, and joined-up innovation... a season where science, artistry, sustainability, and personal identity converge to create looks that feel lived-in, intelligent, and deeply personal. The era of heavy makeup and one-size solutions is giving way to skin-first radiance, expressive accents, smart beauty tech and thoughtful self-care that mirrors modern lifestyles.
It’s 2025, and green beauty is no longer the final frontier, it’s going blue. From glossy reef-safe sunscreens to luxury cleansers packaged in seaweed-based pods, the Blue Beauty movement is redefining what it means to be truly sustainable in skincare. It's not just about what goes on your skin... it's about what goes down the drain and out to sea. As noted by Sumita Chakraborty, Founder and Editor-in-Chief, TheGlitz, Blue Beauty is fast becoming “the gold standard of conscious beauty,” where effectiveness meets environmental empathy.

Winter menus are everywhere right now. Some have to do with harvest festivals, others just leaning into the cold and what people want to eat. Pongal, Makar Sankranti, Lohri: different names, different dishes, same magic. Whether you're home or far from it, there's something close enough. TheGlitz team found the ones that matter. Festive pop-ups, exclusive specials running through the week or the month. Some remind you of home. Some show you what you've been missing. January's short.
Welcome to the era of Quiet Luxury Dining, where finesse replaces flamboyance, provenance trumps performance, and the most powerful ingredient is restraint.

This is not a political commentary. We at TheGlitz strongly advocate peace not as a passive ideal, but as a conscious, courageous choice. In an age of relentless noise, outrage cycles, and performative morality, peace must be claimed with intent. As a platform that chronicles culture, conscience, and change, TheGlitz stands firmly for dialogue over division, humanity over hatred, and empathy over ego. ...Because true progress, true power, and true luxury cannot exist in a world constantly at war with itself.
In a vociferous world where sustainability is loudly advertised and terroir is often romanticised, Mayukh Hazarika prefers a quieter, more disciplined approach... do the work first, talk later, if at all. Founder & CEO of Raincheck Earth Co. and the mind behind Cherrapunji Eastern Craft Gin, Mayukh operates from Shillong with a worldview shaped as much by abundance as by constraint.
What happens when a distiller and a brewer swap barrels? India's first stout cask finish Single Malt whisky, apparently. Amrut and Geist didn't plan this – they stumbled into it. Six barrels, eleven months of maturation, and one gulkand note that made Ashok bottle it by hand. The first batch sold out before anyone could overthink it. Sometimes the best collaborations are accidents waiting to be terrific.

BiE sent the BiE O2 WOW! Oxygenating And Firming Mask to TheGlitz, and what followed was not just a skincare trial, but a rather indulgent skin awakening. At TheGlitz, we take our beauty rituals seriously... especially when a product promises oxygenated skin, firming results, and a visible glow powered by vital oxygen, stem cells, and acai berry. Naturally, we were intrigued… and cautiously optimistic.
So, when NIVEA sent the NIVEA Luminous Even Glow Oil Control Day Cream with SPF 50 to TheGlitz for a review, we were genuinely curious to find out whether this product would live up to the illustrious reputation of brand NIVEA and help us from the winter sun. Especially since it was slated as a day cream that promises high sun protection, visible spot reduction, oil control, and hydration — all at a price point that doesn’t raise eyebrows?
In a world overflowing with skincare products that promise the moon and deliver a mere flicker, it takes something truly special to make you pause, look closer, and say, “Oh yes… this is different.” The Leafoberryy Japan Ritual Scrub – Fermented Rice Scrub is one of those rare finds. Sent to TheGlitz for an honest review, this product instantly stood out for its quality and elegance. Priced at Rs 639, it delivers the kind of gentle, revitalizing glow that feels both luxurious and rooted in ancient beauty wisdom.

The multi-talented, charismatic Kartik Aryaan who was happily surfing through the successful waves of stardom until Bollywood’s unpredictable roller‑coaster threw him yet another loop — and it was a tongue-twister film called 'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri'. And this tumultuous time, the actor now finds himself plumb in the eye of a swirling storm.
It's a deluge... 700 crores and still counting... The rousing 'Dhurandhar' wave not only 'tornado'ed box offices across the world, but it also shattered all sorts of records - from being the most watched film worldwide and supposedly, most pirated too especially in Pakistan, to getting explosively 'Gram'med with the blitzkrieg of viral 'Hamza' (Ranveer Singh's character in Dhurandhar) spy reels... Sumita Chakraborty, Founder & Editor-in-chief, TheGlitz, muses over and analyses the runway success and hyper-visible world-wide appeal of 'Dhurandhar'.
Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone have done it again… proving that even a quick getaway becomes a blockbuster when Bollywood’s most glamorous duo is involved. Their latest escapade to Abu Dhabi, courtesy of the Department of Culture & Tourism – Abu Dhabi, is now live on TheGlitz, and it’s nothing short of a sunshine-soaked, art-dipped, love-sprinkled delight.

On a beautiful, slightly balmy December evening in Mumbai, the spirit of the Maldives arrived not by sea, but through culture, conversation and craft.
