Cosmopolitan's April cover is styled, conceptualised and art directed by Sobhita Dhulipala.

Considering how everyone is working from home, it is challenging for organisations to get work done.

At the same time, the situation has forced people to think out of the box and make things happen.

For any magazine cover to be shot, one requires a professional crew involving still photographers, designers, makeup and hair stylists to work behind the stage.

Knowing how it is impossible to organise a professional photoshoot, Sobhita Dhulipala decided to use her multi-tasking skills.

For Cosmopolitan magazine's April cover, the young actor-model picked an outfit from her wardrobe and turned her home into her studio to create the first 'work from home' magazine cover, featuring her.

Sharing the cover on her social media, Sobhita described why and how she inspired herself to do it.

'I had the unique opportunity to style myself, do my hair/makeup and take pictures on a phone (hello, self-timer, my new friend) in the confines of my house.

'It has been empowering to be reminded that one needs very little aid when they are truly invested in creating something -- even if it is just pictures; it has been humbling to come in contact with people who nurture an individual voice and give it a public platform.

'I spent the last couple of days photographing myself for this story for Cosmopolitan magazine, not only did I thrive in the creative stimulation but also had fun because I didn’t need to be anything but truthful and relevant.

'Cheers to significance that is found in simplicity.

'Cheers to joy that is multiplied by the spirit of sharing.

'Cheers to women rooting for women,' Sobhita wrote.
