Aquaguard joins TVFs Gram Chikitsalay Universe with two new branded content films
Eureka Forbes has extended its partnership with The Viral Fever (TVF) with a new branded content campaign featuring Aquaguard within the world of Gram Chikitsalay. The collaboration comprises two films that use the shows characters and narrative setting to highlight different aspects of the water purifier brand, including safe drinking water and its 4-Year Unconditional Warranty. The first film focuses on the importance of consuming safe drinking water. Set within the familiar Gram Chikitsalay universe, the story uses the shows humour and character dynamics to raise a question around the safety of drinking water before introducing Aquaguard as part of the conversation. The second film takes a different approach, focusing on the experience of owning an appliance. An unexpected repair bill becomes the starting point for a conversation around maintenance costs and the uncertainty associated with appliance ownership. The film subsequently highlights Aquaguards 4-Year Unconditional Warranty as a proposition aimed at offering consumers greater assurance during the ownership period. According to the company, the two films have been developed around situations that fit naturally within the Gram Chikitsalay universe rather than functioning as standalone product advertisements. The campaign attempts to address two different stages of the consumer journey the need for safe drinking water when considering a purchase and the assurance sought after bringing a product home. View this post on Instagram A post shared by TVF | The Viral Fever (@theviralfever) Commenting on the collaboration, Anurag Kumar, Chief Growth Officer, Eureka Forbes Limited, said, The strongest branded content partnerships are built on a clear intersection between consumer relevance and the cultural context in which a brand chooses to participate. Our intent with TVF was not simply to feature Aquaguard within an established entertainment property, but to identify narratives where the brand could have a meaningful role. These two films allow us to address different but equally important moments in the consumer journey, from the fundamental need for safe drinking water to the confidence consumers seek throughout the ownership experience. When the proposition is intrinsically connected to the story, branded content moves beyond visibility and becomes a more effective way of building relevance. View this post on Instagram A post shared by TVF | The Viral Fever (@theviralfever) The campaign marks the latest phase of the Aquaguard and TVF partnership, with the brand continuing to explore entertainment-led storytelling to communicate its consumer propositions. By incorporating the brand into the setting and situations associated with Gram Chikitsalay, the collaboration seeks to present its messaging through the show's established narrative format. The two films are part of Eureka Forbes broader content-led brand-building approach, with the company looking to use entertainment properties to engage audiences around everyday consumer concerns.

The long-running differences between actors Taapsee Pannu and Kangana Ranaut have once again come into focus after a recent exchange on social media. The controversy began after Taapsee spoke about their contrasting personalities and perspectives during the India Today Womens Summit. While addressing the issue, Taapsee said that she has no personal ill will towards Kangana and pointed out that the two actors have never met face-to-face. She explained that their differing opinions and ways of looking at things are influenced by their respective upbringings and individual perspectives. Taapsee had said, My opinion on her is reflective of my upbringing and my way of talking, my way of perceiving things and hers... she stands by hers. So, I think that's enough for everybody to look and decide who comes from where. However, Kangana appeared to interpret the remarks as a comment on her family and background. She subsequently shared a series of Instagram Stories in which she criticised Taapsee, once again referring to her as a cheap sasti copy. Kangana also took aim at Taapsees upcoming film. The posts were later deleted. Following Kanganas posts, Taapsee shared a short and cryptic social media message that read, Hence, proved, which many fans viewed as her response to the controversy. Speaking exclusively to HTCity, Taapsee clarified that she has never taken offence to Kanganas repeated sasti copy remarks. She said, I've always maintained I don't get offended by these sasti copy remarks. I've always said I'm happy she thinks I'm a copy, and that she's a phenomenal actress and I'm not. I dont come from a rich background or have the highest paid actor tags, maybe I'm sasti that way. Explaining her original comment, Taapsee added, What I said was, How one speaks is reflective of one's upbringing. It's up to that person to assume whether I said something bad about the upbringing or something good. She further stated, If you believe I am demeaning your upbringing, it means you believe you made demeaning comments. I did not say that! Taapsee concluded by saying, But then, I also think one needs proper education and upbringing to understand what I said.

Full Plate starring Kirti Kulhari screens as IFFM 2026 closing night film
Director and actor Tannishtha Chatterjees Full Plate brought the 17th edition of the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) 2026 to a close on August 23. Starring Kirti Kulhari in the lead, the film was screened as the festivals Closing Night presentation. Lead actor Sharib Hashmi was also present at the event to introduce the film to Australian audiences. Full Plate revolves around a homemaker with a natural talent for cooking, for whom food gradually becomes a means of expressing her identity. Set against the expectations of family and society, the film explores themes of individuality, patriarchy and the choices women make while trying to find their own voice. For Tannishtha Chatterjee, the films selection as the Closing Night presentation carried special significance. The screening marked an important moment in the films IFFM journey while continuing the conversations around identity, individuality and personal choice that form the core of the story. Festival Director Mitu Bhowmick Lange said, IFFM has always tried to create a space where different kinds of Indian stories can find an audience, and Full Plate is a film that fits beautifully into that spirit. Tannishtha has approached a familiar world with a very personal perspective, and the film opens up conversations around women, family, identity and the expectations placed on them. It felt right to have Full Plate as part of our Closing Night because we wanted to end the festival with a film that stays with the audience even after the screening is over. We were very happy to bring Tannishthas work and Kirtis performance to our Melbourne audience. With its exploration of a womans everyday experiences and her efforts to reclaim her individuality, Full Plate provided a fitting conclusion to IFFM 2026. The festival featured more than 130 films spanning 36 languages, continuing its focus on bringing stories from different parts of India and the Indian diaspora to audiences in Melbourne.

Hina Khan recently opened up about her first meeting with Shah Rukh Khan and recalled how nervous she was when she found herself seated next to the superstar on a flight. The actor shared the experience during a conversation with Rocky Jaiswal, Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla on their podcast POV. She also revealed that despite being exhausted, Shah Rukh made sure to keep his promise of clicking a picture with her. Hina said she was still relatively new to the entertainment industry when the meeting took place. At the time, her popular television show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai had been on air for around a year and a half. Recalling the moment, she said, The first time I met SRK, we were on the same flight. It had been a year and a half since my show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai had started. I was very new in the industry. I saw him sitting next to me. I took a deep breath and saw again that he was sleeping. I couldnt believe it. I was anxious to get a photo, but he wasnt waking up. Somehow, he woke up for coffee. Hina eventually gathered the courage to approach him and ask for a picture. Shah Rukh assured her that he would take one with her, but after having his coffee, he went back to sleep. Hina continued waiting, unsure whether she would get the opportunity. She recalled, I waved a hi to him and asked if I could get a picture. He said, Wait, Ill give you a photo. He had his coffee and went back to sleep. I kept waiting. Once we landed, I thought I missed the chance, but he got up, called me, and clicked a picture. We were also in the same coach later. He went to the last seat and slept. He was promoting some film at the time and hadnt slept for days. Abhinav Shukla also recently shared his first interaction with Shah Rukh. Recalling an event during his modelling days, he said, My first meeting with SRK was when I was fresh off the boat from Punjab and modelling in Mumbai. We were doing a ramp show for a watch brand, and we were backstage. We saw SRK enter; it was the first time I saw him. I decided to go and shake his hand. He was talking to his manager, then he looked at me, got up, and shook my hand. That defines the character of that man. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for his next film King, directed by Siddharth Anand.
