G-SHOCK, Vicky Kaushal Champion Gen Z Resilience
G-SHOCK, Casio's globally iconic watch brand, has launched a new campaign featuring brand ambassador Vicky Kaushal, spotlighting Gen Z's redefined take on strength and resilience. The latest creative push builds on the brand's 'Rise Above the Shocks' ethos, this time channelling an inner form of toughness that Gen Z and millennials embrace as they navigate societal pressures and personal setbacks.
Highlighting G-SHOCK's most recognisable models, including the DW-5000R — a modern nod to the brand's original 1983 model — the campaign celebrates those who stay true to themselves despite external expectations. The campaign also features standout models like the GA-2100, DW-5600, and GA-110, each reflecting the values of creativity, identity, and strength in design.
Takuto Kimura, Managing Director of Casio India, commented:
'With 'Rise Above the Shocks', we're celebrating a generation that is raw, unapologetic and fearless. This campaign reflects how today's youth are rewriting what it means to be tough — with authenticity, boldness, and style.'
Vicky Kaushal, sharing his thoughts on the campaign, said:
'There is strength in silence and power in perseverance… 'Rise Above the Shocks' is for everyone who's had the resilience to face life's toughest blows and keep going.'
Produced by Method Productions, the campaign film was led by producer Ravneet Mahajan and directed by John Fredrick Peter, bringing to life the gritty spirit of the collection while anchoring it in storytelling that resonates with a new-age audience.
With a renewed focus on youth, the campaign is a celebration of resilience—both stylistically and spiritually—cementing G-SHOCK's place in the hearts of India's new generation of go-getters and self-starters.

‘Trying to imitate G-Dragon?' BTS' J-Hope's fans defend him after recent appearance, rubbish rumors that he stole his style
On June 22, BTS' J-Hope took to Instagram to share a story that instantly caught fans' attention. The brief post revealed his plans to attend Paris Fashion Week, specifically the Louis Vuitton show. As one of the brand's global ambassadors, his participation wasn't a surprise, but it certainly generated excitement. The very next day, J-Hope arrived in Paris, and fan accounts quickly shared sightings of him heading toward the fashion house's headquarters. Decked out in a full Louis Vuitton look, the BTS member exuded elegance and charisma. From fashion moment to online firestorm Things took a different turn after videos surfaced of J-Hope exiting the Louis Vuitton office. Surrounded by bodyguards, the idol paused briefly in front of the cameras. He flashed his signature charm and showcased his eye-catching jewelry. With paparazzi snapping away, the moment looked like a classic media-friendly gesture from a global celebrity. However, what seemed like a standard red carpet-style exit drew unexpected backlash online. Critics began accusing J-Hope of copying G-Dragon 's behavior, especially his habit of keeping his head low when walking through crowds. Some pointed out similarities in posture or attitude, even suggesting it felt performative. Comparing apples and oranges? The criticism didn't sit well with many, especially longtime BTS fans who saw the moment as overblown. G-Dragon's introverted public demeanor has often been attributed to anxiety and personal struggles. Fans argued that drawing direct comparisons between two completely different artists was not only unfair, it was unnecessary. They highlighted that J-Hope was merely doing what's expected of a fashion ambassador: showcasing the brand with poise and confidence. His behavior in the clip, briefly posing while entering and exiting the venue, was in line with standard protocol for celebrity appearances at major fashion events. ARMY pushes back against the hate As negativity started to build, ARMY quickly stepped in to defend J-Hope. Supporters flooded social media with words of encouragement and called out the online criticism as baseless. Many emphasized how J-Hope has carved his own path, from dominating global charts with BTS to earning respect in the fashion world through hard work. Fans also stressed that there's room for multiple icons in the industry without resorting to rivalry narratives. Some pointed out that both G-Dragon and J-Hope have contributed to the global rise of K-pop and Korean fashion. So, pitting them against each other only distracts from their individual achievements.

Netizens react as USA asks Indian visa applicants to unlock their socials: ‘But my data is already with the CIA..'
Getting a US visa was never easy, but now, it might just hinge on your Instagram settings. In a new directive that's raising eyebrows, the US State Department has said that applicants for F, M, and J non-immigrant visas — mostly used by students and exchange visitors — must set their social media profiles to 'public' as part of the screening process. US State Department releases new rules for visas 'Effective immediately, all individuals applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa are requested to adjust the privacy settings on all of their social media accounts to public to facilitate vetting necessary to establish their identity and admissibility to the United States under U.S. law,' the department said. 'We use all available information in our visa screening and vetting to identify visa applicants who are inadmissible to the United States, including those who pose a threat to US national security.' That means your posts, likes, comments, and even old memes, could now be scrutinised by immigration officers. Naturally, the internet had a lot to say. One Redditor quipped, 'How do you set OnlyFans to public? 😅 I feel like this social media vetting is mostly a way for them to later deport people for inevitably forgetting to disclose some random account. What is social media? Steam? Your Fortnite handle?' Another joked, 'But my data is already with the CIA.' Some took a more dystopian view: 'So we really are in the TL where Big Brother is watching our every move. Students applying for a US visa have to have public social media accounts and they'll assess based on what you post whether you are worthy of a visa.' And then came the Gen Z punchline: 'Imagine your F-1 hinging on that 2017 duck-face selfie you posted without knowing it'll be a national security document someday. #StudentVisa #GenZProblems.' The F visa is issued to academic students at universities or colleges, M visas go to those enrolled in technical or vocational programs, and the J visa applies to exchange visitors in cultural and educational programs. But let's be honest, no one thought a TikTok dance from 2020 could affect your future in grad school. But here we are.
