    Licious announces association with ‘Bigg Boss’

    Mumbai: The famous meat brand Licious has been associated with the country’s most popular and longest-running reality show, Bigg Boss, for its latest season.

    As part of this unique integration, Licious will cater to contestants’ meat cravings by setting up an experiential zone called The Licious Greed Zone in the house.

    Bigg Boss is arguably the most preferred prime-time viewing by fans of the show, and adding to its charm is the host, Salman Khan. The iconic show enjoys a plethora of celebrity associations and brand engagements, which is a testimony to the show’s value.

    Joining this club, Licious will be offering its assorted range of premium quality and delectable varieties of fresh meat, seafood, and ready-to-cook items in the house. The tie-up will also roll out an interactive contest, where Bigg Boss fans will get a chance to vote for their favourite Licious staple on the Licious app. The most-voted dish will be available in the Licious Greed Zone inside the Bigg Boss House. The dish with the maximum number of votes will find its way to the participants, also giving the audience a chance to become a part of the show. To take things a notch higher, three lucky voters will get the golden chance of meeting Bollywood superstar Salman Khan!

    Speaking about the association, Licious vice president of brand development Santosh Hegde said, “Bigg Boss is the epitome of entertainment and laughter. The show comes with a massive reach and an ever-increasing viewership, which only makes it a perfect platform for integration. At Licious, we are always looking out for moments to bring people together because food is the greatest emotion for all of us, and nobody knows meat like us! Our partnership with Bigg Boss is an exciting move through which we are ready to showcase our wide variety of products, catering to every taste and craving. What makes it better is that the audience will also get an opportunity to help their favourite housemates get the best of Licious via the greed zone.”

    Virat Kohli-Anushka Sharma bat for plant-based meat brand Blue Tribe

    Mumbai: Homegrown plant-based meat brand Blue Tribe has onboarded the celebrity couple Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli as investors and brand ambassadors.

    The couple, in partnership with Blue Tribe, has come out with a video that talks about their intrigue in discovering that plant-based meat “tastes and feels 100 per cent similar to traditional meat products.”

    “Virat and I have always been animal lovers. It’s been years since we decided to adopt a meat-free lifestyle,” said Anushka Sharma. “The collaboration with Blue Tribe is a step to tell people how they can be more conscious and leave less impact on the planet by switching to a plant-based diet. We hope that more people would like to understand the need for it and thus, help the planet and the life in it.”

    “I want to enjoy the kind of food I love without leaving a huge carbon footprint. I know a lot of people feel the same way. This is why I believe if we can have a lower dependence on meat, without shortchanging our taste buds, there is potential for a planet-changing impact. This is where Blue Tribe is proving to be a gamechanger, striking a perfect balance between food that’s really tasty and good for the planet,” Virat Kohli added.

    Blue Tribe co-founder Sandeep Singh said the products are aimed at non-vegetarian eaters who want to switch to healthier, environment-friendly products without compromising the taste of their favorite dishes. “Our food experts and scientists have been successful in identifying what gives meat its unique taste and texture, and so our products will taste, look, feel and cook exactly like meat,” he added.

    According to the brand statement, the products are essentially made with pea, soybean, lentils, grains, and other vegetarian ingredients that mechanically extract proteins, vitamins, and other nutrients. The brand claims to be one of the first to initiate the conversation by asking people to make a conscious change in their lifestyle and switch to plant-based meats in order to save the planet, combat climate change and global warming. The celebrity couple‘s vision is in alignment with that of the brand, it said.

    “In India, over 60 per cent of the people are non-vegetarian, and most people have no idea about the negative effects it has on the planet. The good thing is that we are becoming aware of what we eat, and we are grateful to Anushka and Virat for supporting Blue Tribe and spreading this message further,” Singh further said.
