In the June edition of Verve India, the “Power Combo” of Bollywood—Vidya Balan and Ekta Kapoor—grace the cover of the magazine’s celebrated Power Issue. Celebrating “India’s 50 Most Influential Women,” the duo delivers a portrait of confidence and success that transcends traditional industry norms.
Both stars are seen in exquisite Indian wear that reflects their individual styles and professional dominance. Ekta Kapoor wears an embroidered champagne sari by Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla, featuring a stone-encrusted blouse and delicate gold lurex dots. Vidya Balan exudes elegance in a signature sari by her favorite designer, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, paired with heritage statement jewellery.
The hair direction for this influential cover was led by Bianca Hartkopf (Toabh Talents), who styled both women with sophisticated, flowing tresses to complement the regal aesthetic of the shoot. Behind the lens, the editorial captures the synergy between the producer and actress, resulting in a visual narrative of self-acceptance and contemporary female power.
