Every day on set feels like a gift I want to unwrap slowly, says Hiya Chatterjee
Hiya Chatterjee is set to debut in Rahool Mukherjee's 'Mon Maney Na,' a '90s-inspired love story filmed in North Bengal. Initially hesitant due to college, Hiya embraced the role after her family's encouragement, including her father, Saswata Chatterjee. Working alongside Ritwik, she praises his support and guidance, which helped ease her into her first film. Hiya Chatterjee is about to make her silver screen debut in Rahool Mukherjee 's upcoming love story Mon Maney Na , set in the misty mountains of north Bengal. From turning down her first offer because of college exams to portraying a layered romantic character, she opens up to CT about her journey so far – and the people who've shaped it. All from Kalimpong. 'It was a no-brainer, I just knew I wanted to do the film' When Rahool first offered Hiya a role in Dil Khush , she had to turn it down because of college commitments. But fate circled back. 'Later, when Rahool da called for Mon Maney Na and said, 'There's this character I think will suit you – why don't you come and audition?' I didn't even think twice,' she recalls. 'I absolutely adore love stories, so when I heard this was one, it was a no-brainer,' she says, her voice brimming with excitement. 'Plus, it's a tribute to the '90s romances – which I am a fan of, I knew this was something I wanted to be part of.' Her instincts were validated when her mother (Mohua Chatterjee) accompanied her for the script reading and instantly loved it. 'Mumma said, 'This is so lovely,' and when I told Baba ( Saswata Chatterjee ) the story, he said, 'This is a really good film to be your first.' That approval from both meant the world to me.' Khela shikhte holey, maathe neme khela shikhte hobe' – my father always says that to me 'The role I play in the film is Gen-Z, but she is very different from me' The character Hiya plays isn't much like her, and that's precisely what made her choose the role. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo 'She's a very Gen-Z girl, and very different from who I am in terms of attributes and attitude. But at her core, she's totally Gen Z,' she says with a laugh. This contrast challenged her, especially as the love story revealed its many emotional layers. 'I was nervous at first. Love isn't just one feeling – it has so many shades. I wasn't sure how many of those I could portray,' she says. But a solid team, workshops, and a supportive crew helped her keep calm. 'The first shot was scary in my head, but not in real life. From then on, it's just been getting better.' 'Ritwik doesn't make me feel like this is my first film' Working opposite Bandish Bandits star Ritwik has been a grounding experience. 'From our very first call, he's been incredibly kind and welcoming. He's so brilliant at his craft, but he never made me feel like a newcomer,' she says. She lights up when talking about their camaraderie, and adds, 'We talk about our scenes, and he gives me the space to express myself. He makes me feel like I belong here, like I know what I'm doing — that this isn't my first film.' The same goes for her director and the rest of the crew. 'Rahool da has been the best mentor. He explains everything so patiently to me, even how to face the camera. DoP Madhura (Palit) di is helpful too. Both of them have been my biggest support.' Hiya has been training with acting coach Daminee Benny Basu for two years and considers her as 'Guru Maa'. 'We follow the Eric Morris method. My parents trust her completely,' she says Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .

NewsVoir Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 7: Flipkart, India's homegrown e-commerce marketplace, unveiled its inaugural Glam Up Annual Beauty Trends Report at the flagship Glam Up Fest 2025, offering exclusive insights into the fast-evolving beauty preferences of Indian consumers. Launched in partnership with Nielsen IQ, the report showcases how Flipkart is pioneering India's Next Billion-Dollar beauty boom. The report explores how evolving consumer preferences, rising affluence, and growing demand across new regions are fueling India's beauty boom, with trends like skinimalism and SPF rituals making beauty more personal, science-led, and socially influenced. The report highlights the growing preference for premium quality products, with over 5 beauty essentials sold every second on the platform across haircare, makeup, and skincare. Over 148 million beauty products were sold on Flipkart in 2024, spotlighting Flipkart's role in strengthening the online beauty revolution in India and continuing to cater to the shifting consumer attitudes towards beauty. Gen Z is leading the beauty revolution, reshaping their routines with a clear focus on active ingredients, simplified steps, and inspiration that starts with social media and creators. Their presence in the online beauty and personal care space is expected to increase from 40% in 2024 to 47% by 2030. Searches for niacinamide, ceramides, and other science-led activities continue to rise. Viral trends like glazed donut skin, and slugging reflect a move towards hydration-first, result-driven routines. Beauty in 2025 is no longer just about products, it is about intentional choices shaped by conscious consumers and creator-led influence. Commenting on the launch, Manjari Singhal, Head of Business, Cleartrip, FMCG, and General Merchandise, Flipkart, said, "The beauty landscape in India is in the midst of a vibrant transformation, and no one is driving it more than GenZs. Their evolving preferences, digital fluency, and expressive approach to beauty are reshaping the industry as we know it. At Flipkart, we've always believed in staying close to the consumer. The Glam Up Trends Report is a reflection of that belief, an effort to listen, understand, and anticipate what beauty means to the next generation. This report is the result of a deep, collaborative effort between Flipkart and NielsenIQ teams." Priyanka Bhargav, Senior Director, Research & Insights, Flipkart, said, "Beauty today is bold, expressive, and constantly evolving and no one captures that spirit quite like Gen Z. Whether it's their focus on skin health, passion for active ingredients, love for nostalgic aesthetics, or embrace of hybrid formats, they're redefining the beauty playbook. The Glam Up Trends Report helps decode this dynamic shift. With rich data, real consumer voices, and cultural context, it highlights what's truly resonating. Trends like Hydration Daze, Scientific Obsession, kiSKIN, and Cherry Cherry Lady go beyond surface appeal, they reflect how young India is engaging with beauty in deeper, more expressive ways. This report is the result of a thoughtful collaboration between the Flipkart Insights Team, the beauty and personal Care team, and our intelligence partner, NielsenIQ. We hope it sparks fresh thinking, challenges conventions, and inspires the next wave of beauty innovation." Key Trends: * Skin-First Beauty Becomes the Default: The foundation of beauty is now skincare. Minimalist routines with hydration and barrier repair are dominating both shopping carts and social feeds. Flipkart recorded a 120% spike in gel moisturisers and over 80% growth in face serums, while face wash sales rose 123% year-on-year. Shoppers are prioritising lean formulations with active ingredients such as salicylic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin C, choosing to treat rather than cover. K-beauty products continue to surge in popularity, with sheet masks, snail mucin serums, and hydrating essences seeing over 90% growth year-on-year, reflecting a growing appetite for globally trending skincare routines. * Scientific Obsession & Hydration Daze: Beauty routines are increasingly rooted in science. Consumers seek efficacy and transparency, gravitating toward ingredient-first formulations like powder cleansers, dew boosters, and barrier-repair creams. 62% of Gen Z search for beauty by ingredients, not brands. Face creams and gels rose 1.4x YoY, and niacinamide searches surged ~70%, underscoring the rising preference for hydration-focused, evidence-backed skincare. * Hair Game Strong: Hair rituals on Flipkart are redefined, with shoppers moving from traditional oils to performance-driven solutions rooted in science. The demand for peptide-powered serums, K-gloss treatments, rice water-infused rinses, and scalp-balancing treatments has accelerated, reflecting a clear shift toward targeted, ingredient-led care. Flipkart witnessed a 2x growth in sales of hair serum, and searches for scalp-related concerns, like dandruff serums and itch-relief treatments, have grown by over 85%. This signals a new consumer mindset of haircare should be as intentional and effective as skincare, lightweight, functional, and focused on long-term scalp and strand health. * Scent-sational: Fragrance as a Daily Ritual of Self-Expression: Fragrance on Flipkart has transformed from an occasional indulgence to a daily ritual of identity and mood-setting. Consumers are embracing "smellmaxxing", layering mists, roll-ons, and perfumes to create personalised scent profiles that reflect their personality and routine. Flipkart recorded a 2.2x growth in overall fragrance sales in Q1'25 vs Q1'24, with searches for attars alone increasing by 2.5x, signalling renewed interest in culturally rooted, artisanal scents. Gourmand notes inspired by desserts like marshmallow, pistachio, and brown sugar are trending across social channels, especially among younger shoppers. Fragrance today is about more than just smelling good; it's about self-expression, emotional connection, and everyday wearability. * Cherry Cherry Lady - Makeup That Does More: Makeup on Flipkart is getting smarter, with functional beauty leading the way. Consumers are choosing hybrid formats that deliver both colour and care. Lip oils, SPF-infused tints, and barrier-friendly blush sticks are replacing traditional, single-purpose products. Shoppers are looking for fewer steps and more benefits, favouring products that adapt to their fast-paced, skin-conscious routines. Gloss-forward lip products continue to gain momentum, while searches for Surma-inspired eye looks have surged 33x in Q1'25 vs Q1'24, reflecting a blend of modern utility and cultural revival. Today's makeup is not just about aesthetics, it's about ease, efficacy, and everyday relevance * Sun-In & Stunning: SPF is no longer optional. Daily protection has become a routine essential, with portable sunscreen sticks and gels supporting reapplication habits. Sunscreen sales doubled, and searches for SPF-related products rose by 76% YoY, indicating that sun protection is now seen as both a health and aesthetic necessity * Korean Street: The K-Beauty Effect: Korean beauty continues to shape Indian skincare. Products like skin blur serums, serum-infused glow boosters, and mini "skintellectual snacking" formats are seeing rapid adoption. Searches for Korean beauty grew ~81% YoY, making it one of the fastest-rising segments on Flipkart. * From Plains to Peaks, Beauty Speaks: Regional beauty needs are becoming increasingly important. Variations in air quality, water hardness, humidity, and diet are influencing skin and hair concerns across India. Flipkart is addressing these micro-needs with tailored assortments, especially in Tier 2+ cities, to serve a broader spectrum of Indian consumers The Indian beauty landscape is undergoing a transformation, and Gen Z is at the center of it.

Saturday Feeling: Gen Z's superfast fashion, ‘Stolen' review and other stories
It was at an airport a year ago, while chatting with a young UI/UX engineer who was on the same delayed flight, that I learnt about fashion cycles shrinking to two weeks. She worked for a fashion brand that changed its collection every two weeks since Gen Z followed social media trends and switched out their wardrobes about once a month. I was surprised because this is a generation that has brought 'eco-anxiety' and 'climate grief' into everyday vocabulary. A few weeks later, Myntra launched its M-Now 30-minute clothing delivery service targeted largely at Gen-Z and since then a host of other companies have been talking about their 60-90-minute deliveries for clothing. Who needs a new outfit in 30 minutes? That's the question we set out to answer this week, and found out what's driving the buying patterns of Gen Z, born between 1997 and 2012 and the generation influencing most buying decisions in a family. Their personal style is driven by trends, the internet, and never being caught in the same outfit twice. Which means they often shop for a new outfit every day of the week, giving Monday-Sunday dressing a whole new meaning. Pooja Singh spoke to 40 people outside colleges, via social media DMs, in the Metro, while browsing at shopping malls, and at local markets. She found that Gen Z is playing an endless game of catch-up and it is a story about excess, but it's also an indicator of the industry's own complicity in this superfast cycle. The cover of Mint Lounge dated 7 June 2025, which has stories on Gen Z's shopping habits, new galleries transforming the art world, and more. At a time when fine-dining menus evolve with fresh takes on hyperlocal cuisines, the culinary culture of Maharashtra remains confined to a few select dishes. But there's more to Marathi food than vada pav and misal. A new era of chefs is changing the narrative by showcasing the diverse food heritage of the state with bold, progressive formats. Think puran poli baklava, karvanda Cosmopolitan, and goda masala pizza, that too served in an omakase in Japan, writes Rituparna Roy. Read more. There's a quiet shift in the Indian art market landscape. Newer art galleries are whetting the appetite of collectors, both seasoned and novice, as interest continues to evolve. Many of these galleries showcase the personal collections of longtime art collectors. For some, the galleries represent a chance to give their artworks a home. For others, it's a way to tap into a growing fraternity that's interested in acquiring art, reports Abhilasha Ojha. Read more. Poets have often called love an insanity, a disease that destroys the one who experiences it, steals their tranquility and sleep; its only reward being the sights, sounds and smell of the beloved. Mehak Jamal's book, Loal Kashmir, takes you into this world of love and insanity told through 16 non-fiction stories, exploring the human cost of conflict and the resilience of lovers in Kashmir. These stories, told to Jamal by people who have faced the twin demons of militancy and army atrocities for decades, are full of beautiful nuances, without being preachy, Zeyad Masroor Khan writes in his review. It's an insider's view of the cost of loving and caring while living in a conflict zone. Read more. Only a handful of Hindi films, including Mukkabaaz (2018) and Afwaah (2023), have addressed the modern face of lynching in India. Karan Tejpal's Stolen doesn't imitate, but it comes close to capturing the dread of WhatsApp videos of lynch mobs. It's a searing, scary film about two brothers and a desperate mother—Gautam (Abhishek Banerjee) has come to pick up his brother, Raman (Shubham Vardan), from the railway station. Jhumpa (Mia Maelzer) is accusing Raman of stealing her baby. The misunderstanding turns into a nightmare and unfolds as the kind of film that makes you feel some hope for Hindi cinema and none for the country, writes Uday Bhatia. Stolen is now streaming on Amazon Prime. Read more. Cold showers are touted for sharper focus, reduced inflammation, and mood boosts. Silicon Valley CEOs swear by them. Fitness influencers frame them as proof of grit. But beyond the invigorating jolt, what does science really say? Tanisha Saxena speaks to experts and finds that pairing short cold showers with breathwork aids post-exercise recovery, mental clarity and metabolic resilience. It taps into the body's natural stress adaptation systems that not only boost circulation and metabolism, but also train the nervous system to better handle real-life stress. The key, though, is to do it small doses. Exposing yourself to cold water for 11 minutes per week is said to boost the production of beneficial neurochemicals in the body. Read more. The new Redmi Watch Move ( ₹ 1,999) by Xiaomi is a budget-friendly smartwatch that aims to deliver a compelling set of features without breaking the bank. It's an important intervention, since most affordable smartwatches in India often come with heavy compromises and significant inaccuracies in fitness tracking. The 1.85-inch AMOLED display is one of the biggest and brightest displays in the segment—there's vibrant colours, deep blacks, and pretty good contrast. You can customize the interface via the Mi Fitness app (available for both Android and iOS). The watch also supports Hindi to widen its cache of users. Xiaomi punches above its weight with this device, delivering features that fly in the face of its price, concludes Abhishek Baxi. Read more. Amazon's business model may be riddled with ethical problems, but there's no doubt the Kindle is a popular device among avid readers. A newish, less-visible feature in Kindle devices allows users to share their library with others. Given Amazon's tendency to bury such options deep inside its ecosystem, it is likely that this hack may be news to many readers. If you want to legally share your library with another user, you can use the Amazon Household platform, and it works pretty much like Amazon Prime's family plan, writes Somak Ghoshal. Read more.
