Vinsmera Jewels ad redefines fashion; Jewellery is Beautiful for Everyone
Dr Vidhu Sekhar P (Assistant Professor, Department of Fashion Management Studies, National Institute of Fashion Technology-NIFT, Ministry of Textiles, Govt of India) The recent viral advertisement of Vinsmera Jewels, owned by Kambrath Brothers from Kannur, Kerala, has remarkably shown the boldness in breaking the traditional gender norms and its creative storytelling, which has captivated attention on new media platforms for both critics and audiences across the country. In the last two days (18th July), they received 1.9 million views and 62 K likes for their YouTube advertisement. This advertisement was broadcast in connection with the upcoming opening of a new showroom in Calicut, Kerala, scheduled for next month. The concept and the storyline of the ad showcase the behind-the-scenes of a jewellery photoshoot and the discussion. The storyline goes like this: Veteran Malayalam movie actor Mohanlal arrives on the set, and the Director briefs the context and introduces the female model, who is wearing the brand's diamond jewellery. The story narration twists when the jewellery disappears after the model leaves the location. The film crew desperately searches for the missing pieces. The film director and crew decided to break the news to Mohanlal, and the suspense was unveiled when they found Mohanlal in the vanity van, facing the mirror while wearing the ornaments. It was followed by a pin drop silence and the expressive performance of Mohanlal. Lal was wearing his everyday shirt and trousers paired with the necklace, bracelet, and ring, He was seen performing a classical dance with expressive hand gestures(mudras) that infused with intentionally feminine movements, an expression of self. The ad stands out for avoiding dialogue. Mohanlal's performance depends entirely on body language, facial expressions, and dance to convey joy and embody a gender-fluid persona. The ad ends with the director catching Mohanlal in the middle of his dance. Instead of tension, both burst into laughter, keeping the tone light and celebratory. Mohanlal, a highly respected actor in India known for his versatility and traditionally masculine on-screen persona, chose to elegantly wear women's jewellery without irony, caricature, or mockery. This challenged conventional norms in jewellery advertising and notions of gender roles in Indian media. The performance is earning acclaim for being bold and impactful. Fans and critics alike note that Mohanlal 'pushes boundaries in jewellery advertising' and 'seamlessly merges masculine and feminine elements,' earning praise for the actor's artistry, poise, and willingness to explore new expressions. Social media responded swiftly, filled with admiration for Mohanlal's bold move. Comments span from 'Absolutely brilliant' to 'No other actor blends femininity and masculinity so elegantly,' showing respect even from viewers who found the scene surprising or unconventional. The ad is seen as a pivotal moment for jewellery advertising in India, sparking discussions on representation and inclusivity in the country's luxury market. Krishnan Kambrath, Dinesh Kambrath, Anil Kambrath, and Manoj Kambrath make up the management team for Vinsmera with corporate offices in Dubai and India. They belong to Mozhara, a small village in Kerala's Kannur district. In Dubai, they established Al Mawsim Gold and Jewellery Factory LLC in 2008. In 2016, they launched Win Gold, their wholesale division. Initially, they focused on manufacturing and production. All team members have experience in retail, production, and wholesale.

Supermodel, who played Sridevi's husband, quit Bollywood after receiving immense hate for a 10-second scene, left India forever and changed his name
As far as debuts go, it was a dream one — starring opposite Sridevi, being launched by Yash Chopra, even if the length of the role itself was minuscule. However, India's reigning supermodel at that time, Deepak Malhotra, was undone by that very short role and a dialogue. After his rise as a top model in the 1980s, Deepak got an opportunity to be launched by Yash Raj Films in Lamhe (1991) opposite Sridevi. It was meant to be his golden chance, a breakthrough for his acting career, but everything went downhill after the release of the film. After a successful modelling career and become a heartthrob among women, he failed to get more offers only because of one badly delivered dialogue. This was long before social media trolling will become a thing but Deepak's one dialogue 'Pallo', as he speaks to Sridevi in Lamhe, became his undoing. As work dried up, Deepak left for the US. He changed his name to Dino Martelli, and is now an entrepreneur, living in New York. The model-actor was born in Bangalore in 1964. Deepak was a national-level gymnast before completing his studies at Christ University (1982-85). His athletic and lean physique was preferred by fashion photographers, hence helped him get many modelling offers. By late-80s, he earned a lot of fame as a super model, not just in Bangalore, but the whole country. He soon signed a contract with Vimal Suitings and became the highest-paid model in India, and reportedly chargeed a humongous Rs 1.5 lakh back in 1987. Around the same time, he started receiving film offers and he chose his first film to be the romantic drama Lamhe, with Sridevi, directed by the iconic Yash Chopra. The movie also featured Anil Kapoor, Waheeda Rehman and Anupam Kher and was a story ahead of its time. Sridevi portrayed a double role as both mother and daughter – Pallavi and Pooja. Deepak played Pallavi's love interest and husband, Siddharth. But, after the release, the film tanked badly at the box office. ALSO READ | Honey Irani says people began taking her seriously after she wrote Lamhe: 'Someone said I'd ghost-write Salim-Javed's work' In addition, Deepak's performance was brutally criticised by critics. He was judged by one scene, which then became a pop culture reference. The sequence was about Pallavi fainting and Siddharth trying to wake her up, and the audience wasn't happy with his monotone and stiff delivery. His act in the famous 'Pallo' moment became a huge joke in the early 90s and we have seen many memes around it. The actor had dropped out of a leading role in Rajiv Mehra's Chamatkar (1992) for a small supporting role in Lamhe. Chamatkar finally went to Shah Rukh Khan who was just starting his ascent in Bollywood. Deepak Malhotra was also being considered by Yash Chopra for his next film, Darr. However, after the negative response to his acting skills in Lamhe, the director replaced him with Sunny Deol. The actor also lost several other films, including Bekhudi to Kamal Sadanah, Suryavanshi to Salman Khan, and Junoon to Rahul Roy. In fact, he was even being considered a rival to the young actors like Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan. But by 1993, he had run out of offers. Soon after, he quit films and moved to the US. After Lamhe, his only release was N Chandra's Tejasvini, which was another box office disaster. To step away from the limelight completely, Deepak Malhotra changed his name to Dino Martelli. He continued to model there and also studied industrial engineering and designing, but eventually became a garment entrepreneur. He also made headlines for his relationship rumours with former supermodel-turned-fashion show choreographer, Lubna Adam. Deepak Malhotra is now living in New York since many years. In 2018, he founded his own apparel brand and is serving as its principal currently. He got married to Lubna and have two sons together – Kian and Kyle. Both brothers followed their father's footsteps and modelled for Manish Malhotra a few years ago.
