G-Shock celebrates GenZ's spirit of resilience with Vicky Kaushal
G-Shock
, the watch brand from Casio, has launched a new campaign with their brand ambassador and actor
Vicky Kaushal
, building on the brand's signature message — rise above the shocks.
Focused on G-Shock's iconic styles, the campaign champions a new generation that redefines what it means to be tough.
Through this campaign, the brand shifts the spotlight onto a more personal, inner kind of resilience — one that defines today's youth as they face expectations, setbacks, and the pressure to conform. In a world that often questions their strength, they continue to push forward on their own terms.
Leading the campaign is the
DW-5000R
, a tribute to the very first G-Shock that sparked a global movement, now reimagined for today.
Its instantly recognisable square face, rugged resin build and unmistakable street-ready aesthetic make it a statement piece for those who live by their code. Alongside it, styles like the
GA-2100
, DW-5600, and GA-110 showcase the iconic toughness of G-Shock's design language — each one a wearable symbol of resilience, creativity, and identity.
Takuto Kimura, managing director of
Casio India
said, 'This campaign reflects how today's youth are rewriting what it means to be tough with authenticity, boldness, and style. We are elated to have powerhouse Kaushal embodying the spirit and vision of this generation, resonating with a powerful message of never giving up and the power of sheer perseverance.'
Kaushal added, 'The 'Rise Above the Shocks' is for everyone who's had the resilience and will to rise above the hardest blows that life has thrown at them, and have a 'Never Give Up outlook in life'. That's what G-Shock represents, and I'm proud to be part of that brand story.'
The creation of the project was undertaken in partnership with Method Productions, led by avid producer Ravneet Mahajan and director John Fredrick Peter, who sought to strike a balance between the right level of grit and storytelling for a new age audience, focusing on the core values of what it means to be tough in the current day context.
G-Shock's latest campaign reinforces its deep connection with a loyal community while inviting a new generation to wear their resilience on their wrist with some of its most iconic model lineups which are a rage globally, the company stated in a press release.

Love Island Season 7 Casa Amor: Is Jeremiah coming back? Olandria and Nic's 'fake' dumping has fans spinning 'delusional' theories
Love Island USA Season 7 Casa Amor: Episode 20 of Love Island USA Season 7 turned out to be something no one saw coming. It was easily one of the most eventful episodes so far, filled with drama, but what truly caught fans off guard was the unexpected elimination process. The latest episode saw Orlando and Nic being dumped from the villa, but the post-credit scene hinted at a twist — their surprise return. And here's where it gets interesting: some viewers, admittedly running on a bit of wishful thinking, believe they weren't alone. In the G-Wagon that picked them up, fans think it might have been Jeremiah behind the wheel. Yes, that Jeremiah, whose earlier exit had already stirred things up both in the villa and online. Love Island Season 7, Episode 20 recap: Casa Amor shakes things up Love Island USA Season 7 Episode 20 delivered the full Casa Amor experience as Zak Srakaew shocked everyone by choosing Amaya over Olandria, and Clarke Carraway left Nic standing solo, leading to Olandria and Nic's exit from the villa. Just when it seems their journey has ended, a post-credit scene showed Nic hauling his suitcase outside only for Olandria to pull up in a G-Waggon and gesture him in, teasing a surprise return. This unexpected twist has fans shocked, with many speculating that Jeremiah might also be behind the wheel and hoping he, too, could be driving back into the villa. Is Jeremiah coming back? New twist sets internet ablaze Reacting to the tease of Olandria and Nic's comeback, one fan on X wrote, 'Okay, so if their dumping was fake, then Jeremiah's was too—and he's actually the one driving the G-Wagon that picked up Olandria and Nic… stay with me now.' okay so basically if this dumping was fake, jeremiah's dumping was too, and he's actually the one driving the car that picked up olandria and nic… stay with me now #LoveIslandUSA Other fans in the comments had a field day with this theory. One joked that it must mean Hannah is riding shotgun and they'll all head to The Hideaway to form an alliance for the final four. Another sighed, 'Girlllll I hope so because Andreina and Jeremiah gotta continue! I'm not liking my girl with that Casa Amor guy.' A third chimed in, 'What a twist it would be if they brought them all back at the end,' while someone else noted, 'Honestly, something is up because Jeremiah is not even back on social media.' Could Jeremiah really return to Love Island Season 7? As tempting as the idea is, especially after his controversial exit, it seems unlikely. Jeremiah has already appeared on a podcast and got his phone back, which suggests his time on the show is truly over. Still, if he does return, it could shake things up in a way we haven't seen all season. For now, fans will just have to wait and see, as Love Island USA Season 7 airs on Peacock every day except Wednesday.

‘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.
