Monikangna On HiBlitz: (Un)Covered
One thing HiBlitz does well, is give us covers to talk about! Ooh boy!
Channeling Durga, Monikangna graced a recent cover styled in both Neeta Lulla and Prashant Verma outfits.
It is said, that Durga was created as a warrior goddess to fight an asura (demon) and her (Durga) feminine power contained the energies of the Gods. Having said that, the only Demon this contemporary/interpretative Durga needed to fight were the stylist’s choices. A great idea led astray by the choice of clothes.
Like it or not, the cover sure stops you in your tracks!

Love the concept, especially the way you guys explained it …. but hate Monikangna’s expression ….. or lack of it ……….
She has such a bland face here that it just kills the concept …. why is she smiling so weirdly … did someone forget to give her the brief for the photoshoot …..
strangely at this moment i remember vidya in Bhool Bhulaiyaa … i think she could have pulled off the expression required for something like this ….
fantastic thought, very poor execution
agree good idea, but poor execution…
If not for the bindi, i would not see ANY resemblance between her and Durga.
Haha! That cracked me up! “Resemblence with Durga” as if we’ve seen her personally.
its prashant verma, not satya paul.
Thanks! Corrected.
i think she’s chaneling Ila Arun..and I doubt Ila Arun looks like Durga.
Haha… well said
