    Glow and Behold as Colors Queen Rules the Raabta Runway

    MUMBAI: When beauty met bling, sparks quite literally flew. As the Diwali lights shimmered across the grand Raabta by Rahul showcase, all eyes were on the runway and on Colors Queen Cosmetics, the official beauty and makeup partner that turned the ramp into a riot of radiance. The luxury jewellery brand’s much-awaited festive gala known for its grandeur and glitterati found a perfect match in Colors Queen’s artistry. With each model’s look curated from the brand’s own product line, the beauty label didn’t just style faces; it sculpted the very mood of the night.

    The event’s theme, saltanat evoking imperial opulence came alive in a parade of luminous skin, jewel-toned eyes, and statement lips. The in-house creative team at Colors Queen went beyond standard runway glam, designing every look as a story of texture, tone, and technique. The result? A seamless dialogue between couture and cosmetics where shimmer met substance.

    And then came the showstopper moment: Kangana Ranaut swept down the ramp, radiating a mix of regal poise and modern fire. The actress’s striking presence, paired with Colors Queen’s bold yet refined palette, drew collective gasps from the audience. For a night built on sparkle, she was the incandescent finale.

    For Colors Queen Cosmetics co-founder Nitin Panjwani, this collaboration was more than a commercial tie-up, it was a celebration of vision and artistry. “Our collaboration with Raabta by Rahul was not merely a partnership; it was a celebration of eternal beauty and modern expression,” Panjwani said. “At Colors Queen, our mission has always been to offer high-performance, luxurious yet accessible beauty. Being part of an event of such magnitude reiterates our role in empowering beauty professionals and celebrating confidence with color and creativity.”

    From backstage brushes to bold beauty statements, the brand’s team ensured every element aligned with Raabta’s luxury ethos. The models’ looks mirrored the jewellery intricate, confident, and unmistakably Indian.

    Colors Queen extended its touch beyond the ramp, curating an entire pre-event experience that felt as indulgent as the runway itself. Each celebrity guest and influencer received an exclusive invite paired with a specially designed beauty hamper featuring the brand’s newest product launches.

    This strategic move proved a masterstroke: the campaign clocked a combined online reach of over 1.1 billion views across social media platforms, amplifying the brand’s voice well beyond the Diwali dazzle.

    Among the star-studded attendees were Meenakshi Dutt, Sara Khan, Guneet Virdi, Kriti DS, and Harpreet Suri, who shared their behind-the-scenes glimpses and red-carpet moments, flooding timelines with a generous dose of glitz and gloss.

    The event underlined Colors Queen’s growing stature in India’s booming beauty market. Positioned at the intersection of fashion, celebrity culture, and accessible luxury, the brand is steadily redefining what Indian beauty looks like confident, creative, and unapologetically bold.

    With this partnership, Colors Queen isn’t just selling makeup; it’s scripting cultural moments, the kind that blur the lines between fashion week spectacle and festive tradition. The brand’s DNA is unmistakably Indian but its aesthetic is global, a blend of precision, pigment, and panache that resonates across runways and reels alike.

    If Raabta by Rahul was about timeless jewellery, Colors Queen added the modern shimmer. The collaboration stands as a reminder that in the world of fashion, beauty isn’t the finishing touch, it’s part of the narrative.

    As Kangana Ranaut glided off the ramp and flashbulbs popped, the message was clear: beauty doesn’t just complement luxury, it completes it. And with each brushstroke, Colors Queen is painting its own legacy bold, brilliant, and beautifully Indian.

    After all, when you’re born to rule the runway, the crown isn’t gold, it’s glitter.

  • Colors to strengthen weekend programming with ‘Comedy Nights Bachao’

    Colors to strengthen weekend programming with ‘Comedy Nights Bachao’

    MUMBAI: All India Bakchod’s (AIB) roasting session might have raised many controversies earlier this year, but it did introduce India to a new kind of comic genre – ‘insult comedy.’ And now popular Hindi GEC is ready to take up the challenge of bringing this genre to national television through a new show called Comedy Nights Bachao, which is an extension of the Comedy Nights franchise.

     

    Produced by Optimystix, the show will take jibes at famous and infamous celebrity guests at the hands of actor-comedian jodis through acid-tongued humour. The funny panel of comic assassins will descend on television screens from 5 September, every Saturday at 10 pm on Colors.

     

    Colors CEO Raj Nayak said, They say comedy is a serious business and we have realised it is indeed a serious one. As a progressive channel we keep a tab on the evolving taste of our viewers and thus have identified the various elements of hilarity that makes them tick. Through Comedy Nights Bachao, we are foraying into a new genre of comedy, which is getting extremely popular. With this new brand of humor, we hope to redefine the comedy genre altogether.”

     

    Every week Comedy Nights Bachao will bring together celebrity guests whose feelings, personality traits will be ripped apart through tongue-in-cheek punch-lines, poking fun at their personal lives and public image. The roasting burns will be served by comic crusaders teamed together as five jodis – Krushna Abhishek, Sudesh Lahiri and Sara Khan; Bharti Singh, Karan Wahi and Pritam Singh; Anita Hassanandani and Mubeen; Shruti Seth and Shakeel Siddiqui; and Pooja Bose and Naseem Vicky.

     

    Elaborating on the show’s format, Colors programming head Manisha Sharma said, “There is a whole new rapidly-developing genre of insult comedy, which has been grabbing eyeballs lately. Through Comedy Nights Bachao, we are looking forward to curate a daring enterprise adding a new dimension of wit. We will be putting an eclectic mix of celebrity guests in the spotlight as actor-comedian jodis target them with carefully put together comic gags while raising the laughter quotient on a weekly basis.”

     

    Optimystix Entertainment India producer Vipul D Shah added, “Distinctive and sustained comedy is our strength at Optimystix. Comedy Nights Bachao is a unique show and will prove to be an extremely entertaining one.”

  • Bidaai gets grand farewell from viewers

    Bidaai gets grand farewell from viewers

    MUMBAI: The last episode of Star Plus’ popular fiction show – Sapna babul Ka … Bidaai has got a grand bidaai (farewell) from its viewers.

    The two-hour “maha episode” on 13 November notched up a TVR of 6.06, making it the second highest rated show of the week and adding 24 GRPs (gross rating points) to the channel.

    Produced by Rajan Shahi’s Directors Kut Productions and launched on 8 October 2007, the show achieved many milestones during its over three-year run. It remained among the top 10 shows of the Hindi general entertainment channels (GECs), week after week.

    A story of two sisters, Sadhana and Ragini, the show shored up the ratings of Star Plus at the 9 pm slot. It replaced Meri Awaaz Ko Mil Gayi Roshni, which scored a 2.9 TVR in its closing week. With its launch rating of 4.6 TVR, Bidaai pepped up the slot for Star Plus.

    In December 2007, one of the protagonists, Ragini (Parul Chauhan), broke her marriage (her in-laws rejected her at the mandap because she was dark complexioned in comparison to her sister). The high drama resulted in upping the ratings to 5.4 TVR.

    In March 2008, Bidaai reached a new high when Sadhana (Sara Khan) and Alekh (Angad Hasija) got married on the show. The episode touched a 6 TVR.

    In October 2008, the show climbed higher with the Taj Mahotsav event. Attracting Hema Malini‘s participation along with her daughters, the episode rated 8.8 TVR, the highest rating for a show on Hindi GEC in over 500 days during that time.

    In January 2009, the ratings further jumped with Ragini Ranveer‘s wedding fetching a rating of 9.6 TVR.

    The show launched careers of Parul Chauhan, Kinshuk Mahajan, Sara Khan, Angad Hasija and Ashita Dhawan. Bidaai also marked a comeback for Alok Nath and Vibha Chibber.
