Welspun gets Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma to raise hygiene awareness
Watch the film conceptualised by the in-house team here
Welspun has rolled out a two-part video series to educate consumers about the importance of using a clean towel.
The films feature actors Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma from Fukrey.
The first video shows Samrat trying to wash some packaged goods bought from a shop since they pass through several hands. He proceeds to wash his hands with soap and water, but wipes them on his clothes thereafter. On seeing this, Sharma hands over a fresh towel to Pulkit whilst explaining that personal hygiene does not end with washing hands but with wiping them on a clean towel.
Dipali Goenka, joint MD and CEO, Welspun India, said, “Welspun is a brand that enjoys a strong consumer connect with its innovative offerings. Taking cognizance of the rising need for personal hygiene amidst the Covid-19 spread, the brand has championed the cause of creating awareness around the importance of not just washing hands thoroughly but also adopting healthy practices of towel hygiene to wipe them, thereafter – an act that is often taken lightly. We are delighted to bring onboard the celebrated stars – Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma, to drive home the message in a fun and relatable format.”
