"A Fond Rafarewell": Amul's Emotional Tribute To Tennis Legend Rafael Nadal
Tennis player Rafael Nadal bid a tearful goodbye to the French Open. The 22-time Grand Slam champion retired last year after leading Spain in the 2024 Davis Cup. On Sunday, May 26, the 38-year-old was honoured at a poignant ceremony on Court Philippe-Chatrier at Roland-Garros. The Spaniard's two-year-old son, Rafael Junior and his wife, Maria Francisca Perello, were there to make the event extra special for him. Marking the emotional moment, popular dairy brand Amul paid a heartfelt tribute to Nadal in their latest topical. Amul is not new to coming up with creative and thoughtful illustrations celebrating important milestones, and this time was no different. In the topical, posted on Amul's Instagram page, an animated version of Rafael Nadal was seen waving to his fans with a solemn smile on his face. He carried his son in his arms, much like what happened at the court. FYI: Nadal's little munchkin mimicked his father's wave and giggled as the crowd erupted in applause. The illustration also featured Nadal's wife clapping for her husband from the stands. Meanwhile, the viral Amul girl reciprocates the gesture beside her. The witty text layout read, 'A fond Rafarewell' referring to Rafael Nadal's farewell. 'Amul, enjoy with French Toast,' read the words at the bottom, hinting at the tennis icon's glittery French Open career. The side note read, 'Amul Topical: Nadal bows out after an illustrious career in the presence of his three greatest rivals!' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Amul - The Taste of India (@amul_india) Last year, when Rafael Nadal announced his retirement from professional tennis, Amul paid homage to him with another interesting topical. The creation titled 'Nadalvida' celebrated Nadal's extraordinary career. Nadalvida is an amalgamation of two words — Nadal and alvida (a Hindi word meaning goodbye). The artwork captured the tennis legend smiling and waving to his fans on a court. The text in the picture read, "Amul Rafabulous," combining Nadal's name with "fabulous" — honouring his outstanding accomplishments in tennis. "Amul Topical: Tennis legend bids goodbye to a glittering career!" said the caption. Read all about it here.

Amul pays tribute to final instalment of Tom Cruise's ‘Mission Impossible'; netizen says ‘he looks like…'
Tom Cruise is back in action, taking on one final mission as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, the last chapter in the legendary spy franchise that helped cement his status as an action movie icon. As fans rush to catch the adrenaline-pumping finale on the big screen, Amul joined in the celebration with one of its signature tributes. The dairy giant posted a creative take on Instagram, showing Cruise in classic Mission: Impossible fashion—dangling from a helicopter dressed in all-black. But in typical Amul style, there's a delicious twist: instead of gripping the chopper with both hands, Cruise is casually holding a slice of buttered toast in one. The image is captioned with the punny tagline, 'Better Ethan the rest!', followed by, 'Impossibly tasty'—a nod to both the actor and the enduring franchise. Their caption read, 'Amul Topical: Tom Cruise's final instalment of Mission Impossible!' A post shared by Amul – The Taste of India (@amul_india) The post quickly gained traction online, racking up likes and comments. A fan suggested, 'Amul India open Letterboxd account already!', while another joked, 'Am I the only one who thinks he kinda looks like Joey Tribbiani?' A third had a playful suggestion: 'Pls tie up with Kinder Joy with gift of Amul baby toy.' Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning recently had its grand debut at the Cannes Film Festival, with Tom Cruise making a high-profile appearance on the red carpet. During a quick chat with The Hollywood Reporter, a journalist teased the ambiguity of the film's title, saying, 'Maybe the final reckoning, maybe not…,' to which Cruise responded with a grin, 'It's the final. It's not called final for nothing.' In a recent promotional clip, Cruise delighted Indian fans by delivering some of his famous Mission: Impossible lines in Hindi. He also shared his admiration for Indian cinema, expressing a fondness for Bollywood films and revealing his dream of one day making a movie in that style.
