women influencers
.
With this initiative, the brand introduces an empowering narrative — one that celebrates visibility, voice and influence of young Indian women.
At the core of this movement is
The Glow Up Academy
, a first-of-its-kind creator-upskilling platform with a bold ambition: to train and nurture one digital creator in each of India's 19,101 PIN codes.
Through structured modules, mentorship, and real-world exposure, the Academy will equip aspiring women with the skills to build personal brands, create compelling content, and thrive in the
creator economy
.
Glow and Lovely's campaign, created by
Ogilvy Mumbai
, is brought to life by a collective of women creators who exemplify the spirit of 'Apni Roshni Baahar La'.
The campaign features the journeys of creators Shehnaaz Gill, Jannat Zubair, Nabha Natesh, Larissa D'Sa, Avneet Kaur, Shreya Priyam and Chum Darang.
Each of them brings their unique story, voice and influence to the fore. Together, they represent a growing movement of women rewriting the rules of self-expression in India from metros to small towns.
Launching with a social-first film, the campaign challenges conventional definitions of what it means to be an 'influencer'.
Today's influence is not about creating content to 'fit in', it's about standing out. It isn't about just sparking attention, but about owning your story, showing up unapologetically, and building a following with purpose.
Harman Dhillon, executive director, beauty and wellbeing,
Hindustan Unilever
Limited said, 'With 'Apni Roshni Baahar La', we are reframing the definition of influence to one that is rooted in authenticity, courage and impact. We believe that every woman has the potential to build her own identity and this campaign, along with The Glow Up Academy, is our commitment to enable her and help her shine.'
Anurag Agnihotri, chief creative officer, Ogilvy India (West), added, 'This idea was born from a simple truth that every woman carries a light the world needs to see. Today, influence is not simply about her simply gaining status; it's how she uses her authentic narrative to shape culture, claim her space, and inspire others to do the same. 'Apni Roshni Baahar La' is our mirror to every woman: your light is enough, now let it lead.'
The campaign is live across Instagram, YouTube, and other digital platforms, supported by influencer collaborations, regional content rollouts and on-ground outreach initiatives through The Glow Up Academy.

Salman Khan reveals his role in Battle of Galwan is physically demanding: 'In Sikandar, the action was different'

Salman Khan is gearing up for the release of his next movie, 'Battle of Galwan'. The film, directed by Apoorva Lakhia , revolves around the fierce 2020 clash between Indian and Chinese forces in Ladakh's Galwan Valley. Salman recently shared how physically demanding his character is in the movie. Salman Khan talks about his role in Battle of Galwan 'It is physically demanding. Every year, every month, every day it gets more and more difficult. I have to give more time now. Earlier, I would manage it in one or two weeks, but now I'm running, kicking, punching, and doing all that stuff. This film demands that. For instance, in Sikandar, the action was different, the character was different. But this is physically difficult—especially shooting in Ladakh, at high altitudes and in cold water,' he told PTI. Salman admitted he was initially excited about the concept but acknowledged the tough conditions ahead. 'I have 20 days in Ladakh and then seven to eight days in cold water. We will be shooting this month,' he added. Salman is known for bringing his films to the big screen during Eid, but this time he admitted that Battle of Galwan will grace theatres in January.

Meet actor who faced tension with Aamir Khan but worked well with Shah Rukh Khan, then accused Mani Ratnam of undermining her

If versatility and finesse had a face, this actor would surely take away the limelight! This Indian actor has not only worked in Hindi films but is also known for her work in South cinema, television space, and even stage plays. She has worked with Shah Rukh Khan and recalled him being 'very sensitive.' On the other hand, the actor shared an uneasy equation with Aamir Khan and has also accused Mani Ratnam of undermining her. She is none other than Mita Vasisht. Born in 1967, Mita Vasisht graduated from the National School of Drama in 1967 and has been active in the industry for decades. From Chandni to Taal and Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi, the 57-year-old has worked significantly in mainstream movies. She played a prominent character in Dil Se, alongside Shah Rukh Khan. In one of her interviews, Mita recalled how the superstar made an effort to avoid her getting injuries to the head while filming for the movie. However, she expressed dissatisfaction with Mani Ratnam favoring Manisha Koirala. The Kaagaz actor explained that she underwent intense training as per her role, but the filmmaker insisted on hiding her toned biceps as he felt it overshadowed Manisha. Aamir Khan did not like it when Mita Vasisht touched his hair Recalling her experience of working with Aamir Khan, the veteran actor reminisced about how the latter felt bad when she touched his hair during a scene in Ghulam while improvising it. She commented that if she had been a commercial artist, Aamir would not have felt that way. Mita also highlighted that they had very different acting approaches. Mita Vasisht experienced casting couch with a Tamil filmmaker To date, she has been vocal about her journey, shedding light on the highs and lows she went through. Like many other actors, Mita also faced the casting couch with a filmmaker from the Telugu industry. It was when she was attending the Chennai Film Festival that the person in question tried to stop her from leaving the room that they were in. Not only this, but he even chased her outside as she attempted to get into a safer place.

India's highest-paid villain earns ₹100 cr from THIS film, no releases in last 3 years, not Fahadh or Vijay Sethupathi

Gone are the days when only the hero or heroine could pull audiences to theatres. Today, a well-crafted negative role can be just as captivating and just as profitable, earning the same as with top stars. When it comes to big-ticket films, villains are bringing their A-game, driving box office numbers. In fact, India's highest-paid antagonist is such a powerful force that his name alone can determine the fate of a film pan-India. The highest-paid villain in the Indian film industry is neither Fahadh Faasil nor Vijay Sethupathi, nor even Kamal Haasan. India's highest-paid villain is actor Yash of KGF fame. The Kannada superstar has officially become the highest-paid villain in Indian cinema history, as per multiple reports. The actor is set to play Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's ambitious adaptation of Ramayana. He also serves as co-producer of the project. In the film, Yash will be clashing with actor Ranbir Kapoor, aka Lord Ram. According to reports, Yash is charging ₹ 50 crore as his fees for the film, excluding his share in distribution profits. Ramayana will be a two-part film, the first installment releasing in 2026. If reports are true, Yash will be paid a whopping ₹ 100 crore for both installments. Previously, a report claimed that Yash's total compensation, including his acting fee and distribution profits, amounts to ₹ 200 crore. If true, this figure would surpass even the salary of the film's hero, Ranbir Kapoor. However, in all conditions, Yash overtakes the salaries of popular villains in the recent big films. Kamal Haasan previously held the record for highest-paid antagonist for his cameo in Kalki 2898 AD, earning somewhere between ₹ 25–40 crore. On the other hand, Vijay Sethupathi reportedly charged ₹ 21 crore for his negative role in Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan. It is believed that the blockbuster Pushpa 2 antagonist Fahadh Faasil earned ₹ 8 crore. Previously, the makers of Ramayana had dropped the first look from the film. It also featured a glimpse of Yash as Ravana. A report by Telly Chakkar claimed that Yash will have a screen time of 15 minutes in Ramayana Part 1. He is said to have a longer presence in the second installment of the film.
