Chitrangi Bhatt, I can fly (PEOPLE 2025)

This photo captures my daughter in a moment of pure imagination and joy. She stood on a laundry basket pretending to fly like a butterfly, and asked me to lie on the lawn to help bring her vision to life. The wind played with her hair, making her giggle — a reminder of how simple moments can create magical memories. Pretend play and time outdoors not only nurture creativity, but also support emotional and physical growth in children. I’m grateful to have captured the wonder in her eyes before she “took off.”
