This Women’s Day, Cosmopolitan India puts the spotlight on five women who don’t just ‘want it all’ but have ‘got it all’. Are they pretty? Indeed. But what makes them a class apart is that they are unstoppable, and they show other women what it’s like to be groundbreaking, sensational, inspirational, fearless…and ICONIC.
In a world riddled with uncertainty, commercial airline pilot and Covid-19 frontline worker, Laxmi Shailesh Joshi (); actor, philanthropist and Padma Shri awardee, Raveena Tandon (); digital content creator and former RJ, Karishma Gangwal (); fashion and beauty content creator, Aastha Shah (); Indian badminton player and two-time Olympic medallist, PV Sindhu () are forces in their own right—women who defy all odds.
Want to take a cue and (also) make a difference? Well, no better time than now to celebrate that one trait, which makes you stand out.
