Sananda is the brainchild of Indias largest media group ABP and brought up by actor-writer-director Aparna Sen. She is the editor of this widely spread and popular bengali magazine. Sananda basically deals with social, political, cultural and of course woman oriented issues.
There are separate entertainment sections which give you a brief idea about the latest bolywood and holywood films, audio releases etc. There are debates, discussions and interviews on recent socio-political issues.
Whatever the cover story may be, it reflects indepth research in that relevent field. The editors column is always bold and sensible. There were controversial issues on which Sanada fought on behalf of human sentiments and won over it. If you love to read good short stories and poems by known and unknown ones, Sananda wont dishearten you. They call it Sahitya and publish some real good piece of literature.
The best part I like about Sananda is, you can ask anything and everything whatever is there in your mind and you cannot find person to ask. Sananda will answer all your queries. Even it will hold your hand in your tough times and will guide you althrough. Sananda is published from Kolkata but anyone can order it from anywhere in this world.
There are many such magazines for women but Sananda simply has no competitor. Femina might reach more people as it is an English one, but it is mainly aimed at the hi-society people. Sananda is meant for all kinds of people in this society. He/she has to be sensible, bold and open minded to accept the true picture of todays society.
From past few years Sananda is proud to offer a platform to those aspiring girls who want to make a career in modelling. Sananda-Tilottama is a beauty competition where new faces get the scope to prove themselves.
Actor and celibrities like Bipasha Basu, Koyena Mitra, Celina Jetley are some of the names who started their modelling career with Sananda and now walking through the ramp of Bollywood.
