    Ferrero Rocher adds a golden glow to Diwali festivities

    MUMBAI: This Diwali, Ferrero Rocher is making celebrations a little shinier and a lot more indulgent. India’s favourite chocolate brand has launched its festive campaign, Add your Golden Touch, starring Hrithik Roshan, showing how a simple chocolate can turn everyday moments into luminous memories.

    The TVC follows Hrithik from morning to evening, greeting the day “with happiness at the gate” while clutching a Ferrero Rocher box. As the day progresses, the film transitions into an evening drenched in golden sparkles, with every smile, every gesture framed in a warm glow. The camera lingers lovingly on the signature Ferrero Rocher: crispy, creamy, crunchy and wrapped in gleaming gold, emphasising the magic that a small golden piece can bring. The film closes with Hrithik inviting viewers to celebrate loved ones, showing that a golden touch can turn ordinary moments into extraordinary memories.

    Ferrero India marketing head Zoher Kapuswala said, “Diwali is a season of warmth, light and togetherness. Over the years, Ferrero Rocher has become an integral part of Indian families celebrating special occasions. Our new film with Hrithik beautifully captures how Ferrero Rocher adds that golden touch to make your loved ones feel special.”

    Adding more sparkle to the festive season, every Ferrero Rocher piece now carries a QR code unlocking indulgent rewards. Consumers can win a limited-edition gold-plated champagne glass set, elegant Ferrero Rocher pyramid packs with 96 chocolates, or one of five gold vouchers worth Rs 9,999 each.

    The campaign is being amplified across Mumbai and Delhi through striking hoardings featuring Hrithik Roshan, and a strong digital rollout on Youtube and social media to reach consumers at every touchpoint this festive season.

    By blending Hrithik’s charm with the chocolate’s golden aura, Ferrero Rocher reinforces its position as the emblem of memorable gifting and indulgence, bringing its signature golden touch to Diwali celebrations across India.

  • Hrithik flexes with Own Your Body in star powered wellness push

    Hrithik flexes with Own Your Body in star powered wellness push

    MUMBAI: When it comes to health, Hrithik Roshan has always been the poster boy for balance, discipline, and a chiselled dose of motivation. Now, the superstar is lending that aura of fitness to Own Your Body (OYB), a progressive nutraceutical brand founded by Rama Krishna Reddy, Ravi Krishna Reddy, and Srinivas Reddy.

    In a move that fuses Bollywood muscle with modern nutrition, OYB has appointed Roshan as its official brand ambassador, hoping his pull among millennials, professionals, and fitness-conscious Indians will make wellness not just aspirational but accessible.

    “Consumers today are more conscious than ever, but often face nutraceutical products that lack transparency or consistency,” said OYB co-founder & CEO Rama Krishna Reddy. “At OYB, we’re filling this gap with safe, natural, and science-backed solutions. Hrithik was the natural choice, his discipline, balanced lifestyle, and mass appeal resonate strongly with our mission.”

    Roshan, never one to shy away from a fitness philosophy, added his own spin: “Health, for me, has always been about balance, discipline, and making small, right choices every day. That’s why I connected with Own Your Body. Together, we want to inspire people to focus on what they put into their body as the first step towards real fitness.”

    OYB’s portfolio already covers the essentials of modern wellness: stress relievers, energy boosters, and daily health supplements made with 100 per cent natural, vegan, and organic ingredients. With no added sugar, gluten, or artificial fillers, the formulations are developed by leading AYUSH scientists and tested in NABL-accredited laboratories, ensuring safety and consistency in an often-crowded market.

    The brand’s offerings are available nationwide through leading e-commerce platforms, quick commerce services, and its own direct-to-consumer website. But the real flex begins now: OYB plans to roll out digital-first campaigns with Roshan and expand into new wellness categories, hoping to become the go-to label for mindful nutrition in India.

    For a brand that urges consumers to Own Your Body, adding Bollywood’s most disciplined body to its corner may just be the winning formula. After all, if Hrithik says wellness starts with what you consume, India is bound to listen.
