Pantene 2in1 gives gorgeous Bollywood debutant Manushi Chhillar hairfall-free open hair!

 


Manushi Chhillar recommends Pantene 2in1 - shampoo and conditioner - in one bottle
Mumbai-:30th August 2021 - Former Miss World and Bollywood actress, Manushi Chhillar has joined youth-favourite, iconic hair care brand, Pantene as the new brand ambassador. A woman with many achievements to her name, Manushi will soon be seen debuting in the big ticket historical - Prithviraj. Featuring in a TVC about Pantene 2in1, a unique product which offers the dual benefits of a shampoo and nourishing conditioner in one bottle; Manushi shared her experience with dry hair causing hairfall and the amazing feeling of now having hairfall-free open hair.
Hairfall is a common problem for young Indian women and when hair becomes dry, it leads to further damage and hair breakage. Factors like dust, dirt and pollution; lifestyle habits like unhealthy eating, excess blow drying, styling; lead to more dryness, thus increasing hairfall.
The solution? Ensuring a right hair care regimen of shampoo followed up by conditioner and taking care of hair health with nutritious food, adequate water intake and daily exercise. But, in today’s hectic life, who has the time for a multi-step, complicated regimen. Enter Pantene 2in1, which offers shampoo and conditioner in one single bottle. Enriched with Pro-Vitamin B5 and a luscious conditioning formula, Pantene 2in1 reduces dryness and strengthens hair to decrease hairfall.
Manushi admits that she too has struggled with hairfall, which began with dryness that came along with styling during the Miss India pageant and worsened in subsequent years. “The years during and after the Miss World pageant were hectic. It was a time when I had to travel a lot; I was constantly exposed to heat and pollution that made my hair even more dry. That’s when I understood the importance of discipline in everything - from preparing for a performance to my hair care regimen. My hairfall has continued in cycles since then. Hair needs both internal and external care. I always ensured a nutrition-rich diet, but when it came to a product for hairfall-free hair; I was recently introduced to Pantene 2in1. Now this is my one-step regimen for nourished, hairfall-free hair.”
Consumer studies reveal young women associate hairfall with confidence. Deeksha Kakkar, Country Leader, P&G Haircare said, "We are glad to have Manushi Chhillar as the new face of the brand. She is an inspiration for young women everywhere. With Pantene’s proven solutions, our ambition is to help women like her, leave their hair open more freely, without worrying about hairfall. A first-mover in its category for India, our Pantene 2in1 is enriched with Pro-Vitamin B5 and a luscious conditioning formula in one single product. This enables the consumer to access a superior hairfall and dryness solution, while minimizing the hassles of multi-step regimens.”
Acting as a one-step nourishing hair regimen for anyone struggling with dryness and hairfall, the product is easily available online and at local stores near you.

Future Generali India Insurance takes the initiative to create awareness of health insurance among youngsters



 Through this campaign, the company aims to shift the traditional mindset wherein premiums are viewed as a loss rather than a protection 

 

The company has roped in celebrities like the renowned rapper Slow Cheetah and the evergreen actor Anil Kapoor to appeal to the younger audience through an engaging rap song

 

Mumbai, August 24, 2021: Future Generali India Insurance Company Limited (FGII) has launched the Health Super Saver campaign to encourage youth to consider their health as their most important asset. The initiative drives home the idea that health is a long-term investment.

 

The campaign revolves around the company’s comprehensive individual and floater health policy, Health Super Saver. This unique product offers customers 80% off on premium for a claim-free year.

 

The company has roped in celebrities like the renowned rapper Slow Cheetah and the evergreen actor Anil Kapoor to appeal to the younger audience through an engaging rap song. The song conveys how an individual can earn a return on investment on their most important asset – their health.

 

Anup Rau, MD & CEO, Future Generali India Insurance Company Limited (FGII), said, “Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the need and appreciation for health insurance has increased. However, the youth in the country has still not put health insurance on their priority list. They view health insurance as an expense, not an investment.

With this campaign and our product that caters specifically to this demographic, we have begun to challenge the status quo and aim to bring about a shift in the mindset of the younger population."

 

The latest FGII Health Super Saver campaign will run on major OTT platforms, Music Apps, and digital platforms of FGII.

Mahim-Matunga: South-Central Mumbai’s prime residential corridor · October 2020 witnessed luxury home sales worth over Rs. 500 crore in the South-Central Mumbai region · Experts expect nearly similar sales this festive season as well

 The Mahim-Matunga region has developed into a plush destination with property trends showing high market prices, continually heading northwards. In the beginning of the festive quarter in October 2020, South-Central Mumbai localities witnessed luxury home sales worth over Rs 500 crore, as per an analysis by Anarock Property Consultants. Experts believe that they would see nearly similar sales this festive season on the account of low home loan rates, festive discounts, etc.

 

Matunga was among the first planned areas of Mumbai. Physically, Matunga is bounded by the Sion-Dharavi belt in the North, Mahim in the North-West, GTB Nagar in the North-East, Wadala in the East and Dadar in the South, designating it as a prominent residential and commercial area of Mumbai. Besides, Matunga has a mottled cultural blend with each community bringing in their traditions of food and festivities. The area has a predominantly Hindu population, juxtaposed with a sizeable presence of Marathis, Bengalis and Parsis. Its Irani cafes and Udupi restaurants are among the oldest bistros in Mumbai. In addition to places of worship, the Matunga Gymkhana is a home for budding cricketers and other sportspersons.

 

Its sister neighbourhood of the cosmopolitan Mahim, known for the Hinduja Hospital, Mahim dargah, St. Michael's Church (or the Mahim Church) -- one of the oldest Catholic churches in Mumbai—famous for its Wednesday Novenas that is visited by thousands. One of the most high-profile schools in Mumbai — the Bombay Scottish School is located at Mahim. Mahim Creek, swamped by mangroves, forms the boundary between the city and suburbs. Nestled in its midst is the mini-ecosystem of the Mahim Nature Park. The Mahim Causeway is a vital link road connecting the neighbourhoods of Mahim to South Mumbai and Bandra in West.

 

Speaking about the prominence of the area, Mr. Vedanshu Kedia – Director, Prescon Group said, "Situated in South-Central Mumbai, the Mahim-Matunga region is fast gaining popularity among property buyers. It is a coveted & densely populated residential area with close proximity to the major commercial centres of the city including BKC and Lower Parel. The progress of Metro – 3 lines passing through L.J. Road will further enhance the commute of the residents along the regions of Colaba upto Andheri. A buzzing place, well-known for its educational institutions, shopping markets, eateries, parks, and stunning views of the sea; the location has it all. With several high-end projects coming up in the area, it is certainly becoming the most promising location with a great quality of life."

 

Moreover, the area is near the seaside location of Bandra West, famous for the Linking-Road and Hill-Road shopping locations, Joggers Park, Carter Road Promenade, Mt. Mary Church, Bandstand and houses of India's famous Bollywood stars. In the last few years, the landmark Bandra Worli Sea link has added to the lure of the area. The adjacent Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), flanked by corporate offices, is a premier commercial location.

 

Commenting on the real estate demand, Mr. Bhasker Jain, Head - Sales, Marketing and CRM at The Wadhwa Group said, "The region is one of the prime locations in the heart of Mumbai where culture, cuisine, and heritage convene and connect seamlessly. The location offers ease of connectivity to the city's business hubs like BKC, Worli, Prabhadevi, Lower Parel, and South Mumbai. With its proximity to centers of education, business hubs, entertainment, shopping outlets, parks, and green spaces, it complements the lifestyle of the people living there allowing them more cherished time with family and friends. The area is pure bliss with serene neighborhoods on one end and mesmerizing views of the Bandra-Worli sea link on the other end. All these factors have led to a boost in realty demand in the region."

 

This micro-market hosts some of the biggest and most prestigious luxury housing projects in the city, and thus attract business honchos, sports personalities and other celebrities, start-up founders, and C-Suite professionals.

 

Going forward, the mega infrastructure projects such as the coastal road and the metro augur well for the Mahim-Matunga corridor. Offering a mix of residential, commercial and institutional constructions that include parks and gardens, the place has ease of connectivity to the city's business districts at BKC, Lower Parel, Prabhadevi, and Worli. Overall, with its proximity to hubs of education, entertainment, hospitals, shopping outlets, parks and green spaces, it complements the lifestyle of the populace.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Prasan Firodia, Managing Director, Force Motors Ltd. said, The virus is now spreading to the hinterland and lack of transportation facilities in rural areas pose a big risk to the unvaccinated population. The State Government initiative to speed up vaccination by ferrying those residing in remote parts to the health centres is a commendable step. We are delighted that our TRAX Toofan vehicles will be involved in this life saving mission.

 

The all new Trax Toofan is a ground up new modular utility vehicle platform with an all-new body, full new interiors, a new Mercedes derived power train, a new high strength C-in-C chassis, a new parabolic leaf spring suspension offering best in class space as well as riding comfort.
