Thank you Grazia Pakistan for this interview on education, science, being a woman in academia and sport. And for highlighting #pinktober - all about breast cancer awareness.

PS: Girls see these photos & may not realize the makeup/hair/production that goes into it. It’s art by a very talented team led by @KANIZMAKEUP. It’s fun to get glam sometimes. Women should look & wear what they want anywhere in the 🌏. {But it’s not how I look in real life}

An expert team of artists & post-production created the cover. Good reminder for teenage girls looking on Instagram & at magazines. Before/after shots.

@devisridhar You look much more attractive without the makeup.

@devisridhar Tbh, I had wondered if that was you in the front cover.

@devisridhar Many do see the "glam" look and think that's the real look. Congratulations to you on being proud of how you look both au naturel and as a cover girl.

@devisridhar You’re insanely hot with or without make up 😊👍 x

@devisridhar Thank you for pointing this out. Much angst is created by such magazines & the whole makeup/fashion/glamour industry as a whole. Teenagers feel bad about themselves a lot of the time for not being like their idols, it’s good to show them natural looks are what we all start with.

@devisridhar Thank you for reminding people what natural beauty looks like. You look absolutely fabulous both glammed up and in your natural state! But it is important for girls and women to see and understand the difference. 👏🏽👍🏽💪🏽

@devisridhar Does the magazine also show the before pic? That would be amazing - to show the before alongside the story of how they created the look. Thanks for sharing it the way you have x

@devisridhar The 'before' looks so good too though.

@devisridhar You’re the realest. Thank you for this PSA
