Mother's Day special: Mother-daughter duos swap wardrobe and share their bond
Mothers play a pivotal role in shaping our lives. They are our real-life role models who inspire us every day. Their unconditional love and unwavering support can help us sail through the hardest of times. Even the greatest and the most powerful leaders owe it to their mothers for their success. On Mother's Day today, we feature mother and daughter duos from all walks of life, from a cultural revivalist to a physician and a social activist- the uber-cool mommies swapped their wardrobes with their daughters in a special shoot for us and struck a pose together. Social activist and educator Manisha Bhatia (47) posed with her 23-year-old daughter Saanvi, as the duo exchanged outfits—and emotions. While Manisha stepped into a blue jumpsuit from Saanvi's wardrobe, Saanvi glowed in her mother's elegant saree. 'You are my world,' says Manisha. 'I hope you feel the wonder of being me, as I glimpse the joy of being you. We swap more than clothes sometimes — we swap worlds to understand each other better.' Ahmedabad-based food consultant Sania Naqvi (33) remembers being in awe of her mother, 60-year-old educator Samina Naqvi, who co-founded Sanchaari, a cultural and literary society in Prayagraj. 'From my earliest memories, I've admired my mother in crisp cotton sarees. I borrowed one of her classic Gadwal sarees and tried to be more like her for a day,' shares Sania. Though the two couldn't shoot together, Sania posed in her mother's saree at home, while Samina embraced her daughter's go-to look—a denim-on-denim ensemble. 'My daughter lives in jeans—nothing too frilly or bright. It's all about comfort and cool,' laughs Samina. Dermatologist Dr Deepali Bhardwaj and her 70-plus mother, Dr Anjan Prakash Kaur, who retired as Additional Medical Superintendent at RML Hospital, struck a stylish pose in a shared frame. Deepali wore a checkered saree draped with an off-shoulder pallu. Her mother, wearing makeup for the first time in years, looked radiant in an Amit Aggarwal top borrowed from her daughter's wardrobe. 'This saree is a piece my mother often wore—it reminds me of her strength and grace,' says Deepali. 'It felt euphoric to wear her clothes and like déjà vu to my younger days,' adds Anjan. Dr Rita Bakshi (65), a Delhi-based infertility specialist with over three decades of experience, swapped closets with her 35-year-old daughter-in-law Arushi Bakshi, director at the Indian School of Business & Finance. For the shoot, Arushi wore an ivory sharara from Rita's wardrobe, while Rita stepped into a glamorous kaftan from Arushi's closet. 'She carries herself with such grace,' says Arushi. 'Despite her hectic schedule, there's always a warm smile on her face.' Rita beams back, 'I love how effortlessly Arushi rocks her pencil heels.' Make-up artist Amita Juneja (40), known for her fashion editorials and designer campaigns, swapped outfits with her 70-year-old mother Bimla Arora. Amita wore a traditional ensemble from her mother's closet, while Bimla stunned in a white button-down shirt paired with a leather corset from her daughter's wardrobe.

'It's just a game': Dubai students have a message for India-Pakistan fans
The temperature was rising even three hours before the start of the high-octane ICC Champions Trophy match between India and Pakistan at Dubai Sports City on Sunday. As thousands of fans, with India's blues outnumbering the Pakistani greens, made a beeline for the entry gates, a group of teens caught the eye. The bus carrying the Indian team had just arrived, and the teens were waiting to catch a glimpse of India's stars, especially Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Only one of them was Indian, the rest of the four were all from Pakistan. And all five of them arrived at the stadium with two collective goals — enjoy the match and spread the message of friendship. 'I think it should be seen as a fun competition, you should not take it so seriously. Just enjoy it as a game of cricket and enjoy it with your friends and family,' said Saanvi Rupnar who is from the Indian city of Pune. Zara Syed, who belongs to Karachi, said their friendship with Saanvi proves that people from the two countries can always get along well. 'I think the reason there is tension between the two countries is the politics,' she said. 'But normally people are fine with each other, and as you can see here, we can be friends and come together for a game of cricket between India and Pakistan.' The five teens are Year 13 students at Gems Wellington Academy in Dubai. 'As Zara said, the tension is mainly because of the politicians. But we believe politics should not dictate the friendship between the people of India and Pakistan,' said Alina Khan, whose family is 'Lahori' (residents of Lahore) from the Pakistan-administered Kashmir. Any game between India and Pakistan can leave the spectators on the edge of their seats. But regardless of the result of Sunday's match, nothing will change in their lives. 'Win or lose we will always be friends,' said Muhammad Syed. While Saanvi admires Pakistani fast bowlers Naseem Shah and Shaheen Shah Afridi, her four Pakistani friends gave just one name when asked about their favourite Indian player. 'We all love Virat Kohli, he is the superstar,' said Zulaym Khan. Finally, the five friends admitted that it's a blessing to be in Dubai. 'It's very uncommon nowadays to get India-Pakistan matches in cricket, so it's amazing to be part of this Champions Trophy match in Dubai,' said Alina, referring to the lack of bilateral cricket between the two teams. Saanvi agreed. 'India vs Pakistan in cricket is such a special occasion,' she said. 'And we are so grateful that we are Dubai residents which has given us this opportunity to watch this great contest.'
