Anushka Sharma

Anushka Sharma endorses NIVEA’s ‘GO SLEEVELESS’ campaign Launches a brand new commercial for NIVEA Whitening Deodorant asking women to “go sleeveless” on their man.

Mumbai, May 11th 2012: NIVEA India Pvt. Ltd, an affiliate of Beiersdorf AG and world’s largest skincare brand has roped in Anushka Sharma to endorse its product, NIVEA Whitening Deodorant. Anushka Sharma features in the multi-media campaign of the brand’s innovation in the deodorant category. Through this ad campaign, Anushka invites women to ‘Go Sleeveless’, without any fear of exhibiting their under-arms.

Fair underarms give women the confidence to wear sleeveless clothing thus making them feel more sensual and feminine. At times women hesitate to wear sleeveless clothes because of darker underarms, this ad showcases how continued usage of the product helps you drop those inhibitions to wear sleeveless and gives you the confidence to flaunt your underarms.
Underarm darkening has been a problem that women have battled against for years using remedies that include waxing, shaving and usage of hair removal creams. However, continued usage of these remedies over a period of time makes the underarms dark, dull and patchy.

NIVEA has found a solution to all these problems in its WHITENING deodorant. This deodorant contains a product ingredient called “licorice extracts” that counteracts skin darkening and works against hyper pigmentation. Effect? Fairer and even toned underarms. It has a floral fragrance that gives long lasting freshness.

After a successful launch of the original edition, NIVEA has introduced its second variant called NIVEA Whitening Deodorant Fruity Touch which has a fresh fruity note.
The new variant is expected to attract further consumers to the brand and widen the fragrance offering of the NIVEA Whitening deo franchise.

Speaking on the association with Anushka Sharma to promote Whitening Deodorant, Sunil Gadgil, Marketing Director of NIVEA India said, ‘‘NIVEA Whitening Deodorant has been developed to address the latent consumer need to have the confidence of having even-toned underarms. The ‘Go Sleeveless’ campaign explains the product proposition through a 3600 campaign featuring Anushka Sharma . The campaign helps in establishing the Nivea mother brand values in a contemporary Indian style.”

Speaking on being a part of NIVEA Ad campaign, Anushka Sharma said, ‘‘It gives me immense pleasure to be a part of the NIVEA family because NIVEA is a brand that I have been using since my childhood days. It’s been a big milestone achievement for me to have come this far with NIVEA and to be a part of the NIVEA family today just fills me up with joy. Women today are quite conscious of their dark underarms which have been caused due to various reasons like shaving, waxing etc. This product undoes all that damage and gives you fair underarms. Through this ad, we wish to communicate to consumers that if you want to wear a sleeveless outfit where your underarms will show, you should have the ability to wear it with confidence. That confidence comes from usage of NIVEA Whitening Deodorant.”

NIVEA WHITENING deodorant is available in the most popular application forms:
Floral Touch Aerosol Spray 150ml for Rs.179/-
Floral Touch Roll-On 50ml for Rs.165/-
Fruity Touch Aerosol Spray 150ml for Rs. 179/-
NIVEA products are available at all major super markets and general stores.

RAYMOND WEIL

New Delhi, May 04, 2012: Like an orchestra conductor who leads into a symphony to the rhythm of his baton, RAYMOND WEIL reveals the notes of its 2012 musical score, bar by bar. The new maestro Petite Seconde Or Rose (maestro Small Seconds Pink Gold), the second crescendo in its emblematic collection, is written with elegance and pose on its musical staff. Presenting a striking yet charming contrast between a deep black dial and pink gold indexes and hands, this prestigious timepiece offers the amateur a new way of seeing the time.

Man, needing to master the changes surrounding him, invented the notion of time, which, whether as a basic property of the universe or the product of intellectual observation, has become increasingly precious. Through its horological instruments, RAYMOND WEIL is magnifying this richness and, at the same time, paying homage to it. Thus, each hour, each minute and each second become a matter for contemplation and interpretation.

The maestro Petite Seconde Or Rose, as its name indicates, features the seconds-hand, which is placed delicately in a small counter zone at 6 o’clock. Its refined simplicity contrasts with the Clou de Paris decor of the black galvanic dial. All around this dark-colored central area, the pink gold Roman numerals seem to emerge into the daylight and come to meet the hour and minute hands at regular intervals. The ensemble is housed in a sublime 39.5mm pink gold PVD case, resolutely guarding the precision of its time. The beating of its mechanical heart is clearly visible through its sapphire crystal case back. This infinitely elegant timepiece is mounted on brown, calfskin, alligator-style strap, embellished with saddle-stitching and an ardillon buckle, in the purest watchmaking tradition.

Timeless, classic, refined, the maestro Petite Seconde Or Rose interprets the codes of time with virtuosity, while still remaining loyal to the original score.

Lahori Paneer Tikka

Mumbai, May 15 2012: The Great Kabab Factory is an Indian specialty restaurant offering a unique dining experience. Using recipes combining the ancient with the contemporary, TGKF brings delectable kababs from all over the world to one table. At The Great Kabab Factory, one can experience mouth-watering kababs prepared in seven different styles, roasted on the tandoor or on a singhri, shallow-fried in a tawa or a mahi tawa, deep-fried in a kadhai, steamed in pots or even grilled on a stone.

Join us for a Badshahi Dawat, a Lahori food affair where the cuisine is as diverse as its people. Lahori cuisine has Afghan-Turkic-Iranian roots, a legacy of Muslim rule in South Asia, which got ‘Indianized’ owing to the immense usage of spices; this is especially true for Pakistani Punjabis, Sindhis and Muhajirs. Lahori dishes are known for comprising aromatic and sometimes spicy flavours, and some dishes often contain liberal quantities of oil which adds to a richer, fuller mouthfeel and flavor.

Another key influence in the development of Lahori food cookery was the establishment of the Mughal Empire in 1526. The opulent tastes exhibited by such Emperors as Humayun, Akbar, Jahangir, Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb in art, architecture, music, dance, and jewelry was also extended to food. A style of cookery called Mughlai’ evolved at the Mughal court and even today it remains centered in Lahore.

For the same great experience, the chefs from the fabled kitchens of The Great Kabab Factory offer you savories like Peshawari Kabab, Hussaini Seekh, Atishi Champ and more. Be a part of a feast that brings on your platter the sumptuous miracles from Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi and Peshavar.

Concept: Way back in the 14th century, the Mongols invaded Hindukush* – the land of milk, honey and other rich treasures. Kabab was then, just meat sprinkled with salt, barbequed and gobbled. Soon, it caught the fancy of the Indian chefs. And they perfected it to a sublime art. The kind which one can savour at The Great Kabab Factory. Roasted on the tandoor or on a sighri, shallow-fried in a tawa or a mahi tawa, deep-fried in a kadhai, steamed in post, even grilled on stone. Making them the most succulent and delicious Kababs one will ever sink one’s teeth into. All guaranteed to give total gastronomic satisfaction.

*India and its subcontinent-as it were known at that time.

Menu Offerings: A different menu is set for each day and guests are served unlimited servings of each dish, either vegetarian or non-vegetarian. Besides our signature kababs such as the Galauti and the Burrah, the meal comprises of daal factory, biryani, a selection of Indian breads and the best of seasonal vegetables and desserts. Our signature kababs have been created after a decade of extensive research and development. TGKF owns a recipe bank of over 450 kababs which include many closely guarded family recipes passed down through the ages. Various imitations have been created but none match the unique flavor and aromas of the original TGKF signature kababs. For the vegetarian clientele, the corporate chefs have introduced kababs such as tandoori broccoli and subz galouti which are unique to the TGKF dining experience. All the retail locations worldwide use the TGKF proprietary spice packs that ensure the same great taste everywhere.
