    Mohey’s new ad film takes a relook at wedding rituals

    Mumbai: Rarely does one stop to question the meaning of age-old rituals and traditions that have been passed down to us from generation to generation. Most of us follow them blindly, usually without even knowing the significance behind them and without giving it a thought whether some of these rituals may have become outdated.

    The recent digital video campaign of Mohey from the house of Manyavar, featuring Alia Bhatt, throws light at some of our wedding rituals and the conventional thought behind it, while promoting a conversation for a more inclusive space for women in marriage and in life.

    The film attempts to take a progressive stance on ‘Kanyadaan’- one of the central rituals during a wedding- and strike a balance between tradition and gender equality. In the ad film, Alia dons the role of a bride who questions certain conventional stereotypes associated with the girl child and her marriage in society. “I absolutely believe in this thought and this is something very close to my heart. I am glad that I could be a part of this film and convey a message that might bring about a positive change in society,” said Bhatt.

    Through the film, the women’s wedding wear brand calls for a rethink to the mindset that considers a girl child to be a liability. The film ends with a small but significant gesture that redefines Kanyadaan to ‘Kanyamaan’.

    On the making of the ad, Shreyansh Innovations director Shreyansh Baid said, “We have always believed in progressive communication and our main thought behind making this film was to convey a strong message that is rooted in the rich Indian culture and take it a step forward by deriving inspiration from the new-age Woman and the new-age society. With Alia on board we have been able to create a communication that strikes a chord and invokes a positive change.”

    Vedant Fashions Limited CMO Vedant Modi said Mohey has always symbolised the progressive women of our society. “Through this commercial, we have tried to bring about a shift in the mindset of the general populace while being respectful and fervent towards our traditions and rituals,” he added.

    MUMBAI: It’s time for celebrations at the Khan family as the star couple Soha Ali Khan and Kumal Khemu get ready to tie the knot.

     

    The wedding, which will be held on 25 January, will be a private and low-key affair. Only close friends and family members will be invited.

     

    Soha got engaged to Kunal (31) in Paris last year. The couple worked together in the 2009 film 99.

     

    The 36-year-old actress said, “It’s a simple wedding at home. But I think it should be memorable and special. And I will be dressed for the occasion.”

  • Getting married? Confess your desires

    Getting married? Confess your desires

    MUMBAI: With the wedding season upon us, jewellers, designers, decorators, planners, videographers and photographers are busy vying for attention (and assignments) from prospective brides and grooms.

    In such a scenario, Tanishq, the Tata Group’s jewellery brand, has come up with an innovative digital campaign that may well help it stand head and shoulders above the competition, while putting a smile on the face of the bride-to-be.

    Christened ‘Confessions of a Bride’, the month-long campaign is an extension of Tanishq’s recent wedding campaign and seeks to fulfill the innermost desires of every new-age bride; be it an immaculately designed wedding dress or a personalised jewellery set or even a romantic honeymoon in the Swiss Alps.

    So if you’re going to be a blushing bride, all you need to do is log onto: http://tanishqweddings.com and make your confession. Rest assured, your secret wish is then Tanishq’s command…

    Exults Titan vice president retail and marketing (jewellery division) Sandeep Kulhalli: “As family jewellers in a progressive society, we understand that every Indian bride wants to give an individualistic touch to her wedding and is ready to get out of the realms of comfort to fulfil the same. This campaign attempts to live up to the confessions that the bride makes so as to gift wrap a beautiful experience and present it to her that will go down memory lane.”

    On connecting with the audience, says Titan head marketing (jewellery division) Deepika S Tewari: “At Tanishq, digital campaigns have always been a great medium to connect with our customers. With more than 75% of internet users in India falling under the age of 35 – the digital medium is the best mode to reach out to them. In the past, we have had successful digital campaigns like My Expression, Mia on Wheels etc. which were well accepted by the audience. Confessions of a Bride is an attempt to celebrate differentiated weddings of the progressive Indian bride.”

    Tanishq is pulling out all stops to promote its new campaign, particularly on digital platforms. The brand is promoting the contest and various features of the website organically on social media platforms supported by paid promotions on facebook to relevant audiences, Google search, Google display network, YouTube and chats with stylists on twitter.

     “Bloggers have always been a critical part of Tanishq online campaigns. We reach out to them not only for publicising our digital activities but also take their inputs as they understand the pulse of the tech-savvy audience to refine and streamline our campaigns. For this campaign, we have reached out to bloggers who have been writing on weddings and similar themes to come on board and help us in making this a huge success!” Tewari says.
    Tanishq has partnered with Interactive Avenues on the campaign.
