Joy Personal Care unveils its latest TVC starring Shah Rukh Khan and Sanya Malhotra
Mumbai: Joy Personal Care, the Indian home-grown personal care brand, under the aegis of RSH Global, has unveiled a new campaign highlighting its iconic product Joy Lemon Facewash featuring Shah Rukh Khan and leading actress Sanya Malhotra. Joy Lemon Facewash is one of the leading products that rejuvenates the skin with Active Fruit Boosters. Infused with crushed fruity lemon milli globules, this facewash clears impurities, making it ideal for skincare routine.
The quirky romantic film featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Sanya Malhotra communicates about ‘Day and Night’ usage of the product capturing Joy’s promise to care for skin round the clock. The film further highlights Joy Lemon Face Wash, packed with its fresh lemon scent and skin-friendly ingredients, as the perfect skincare buddy.
Joy Personal Care (RSH Global) founder & chairman Sunil Agarwal expressed, “Joy Lemon Face Wash is one of our flagship products from our portfolio. The products is tailored specifically to suit the tropical climate of India. Designed to combat the challenges posed by sultry summers, where excess sweat often leads to clogged pores and breakouts, this nature-based formulation offers a balanced solution and addresses common skincare concerns without causing dryness. With Shah Rukh Khan lending his influential voice to our campaign alongside Sanya Malhotra, we aim to effectively convey this message to a wide audience, emphasizing the product’s efficacy and relevance in everyday skincare.”
Joy Personal Care (RSH Global) CMO Poulomi Roy further commented, “There is a science-backed research indicating, that like most organs, skin undergoes optimal rejuvenation when asleep, thus making pre-bed time face cleansing crucial for a glowing skin the next day. In India, we have observed that usually washing face is done either upon returning home or during bath. Leveraging this analysis and scientific evidences on skin rejuvenation, we introduced the ‘last wash’ concept in 2021 and have consistently promoted since. Our aim is to inculcate a habit among people of washing face before going to bed. This approach encourages face wash usage more than once a day. Our latest campaign builds upon the foundation of our ‘last wash’ concept, further enhancing consumers’ skincare routines.”
Commenting on the association, Khan said, “I am delighted to partner with Joy Personal Care as the brand ambassador of the facewash category. It’s a progressive brand, with a refreshing approach that shuns unrealistic beauty ideals and prioritizes inclusivity in its thoughtfully crafted campaigns. I’m eager to embark on this exciting journey with them.”
Malhotra said, “Collaborating with Mr Shah Rukh Khan and representing Joy Personal Care as a brand ambassador with him is such a great experience for me. It’s been an absolute honour and, as always, it’s been so exciting to shoot with Mr Khan!
Joy Personal Care focuses on maintaining natural beauty and not promoting unrealistic beauty standards. Our skin deserves additional attention and nourishment at the beginning and end of even the most demanding days. Packed with natural elements, Joy Lemon Face Wash effectively eliminates impurities, unlocking your skin’s journey to health and happiness.”

Content India 2026 opens with a copro pitch, a spice evangelist and a £10,000 prize for Indian storytelling
Dish TV and C21Media’s three-day summit puts seven ambitious projects before an international jury, and two walk away with serious development money
MUMBAI: India’s content industry gathered in Mumbai this March for Content India 2026, a three-day summit organised by Dish TV in partnership with C21Media, and it wasted no time making a statement. The event opened with a Copro Pitch that put seven scripted and unscripted television concepts before an international panel of judges, and by the end of it, two projects had walked away with £10,000 each in marketing prize money from C21Media to support development and international promotion.
The jury, comprising Frank Spotnitz, Fiona Campbell, Rashmi Bajpai, Bal Samra and Rachel Glaister, evaluated a shortlist that ranged from a dark Mumbai comedy-drama about mental health (Dirty Minds, created by Sundar Aaron) to a Delhi coming-of-age mystery (Djinn Patrol, by Neha Sharma and Kilian Irwin), a techno-thriller about a teenage gaming prodigy (Kanpur X Satori, by Suchita Bhatia), an investigative crime drama blending mythology and modern thriller (The Age of Kali, by Shivani Bhatija), a documentary on India’s spice heritage (The Masala Quest, hosted by Sarina Kamini), a documentary on competitive gaming (Respawn: India’s Esports Revolution, by George Mangala Thomas and Sangram Mawari), and a reality-horror competition merging gaming and immersive fear (Scary Goose, by Samar Iqbal).
The session was hosted by Mayank Shekhar.
The two winners were Djinn Patrol, backed by Miura Kite, formerly of Participant Media and known for Chinatown and Keep Sweet: Pray & Obey, with Jaya Entertainment, producers of Real Kashmir Football Club, also attached; and The Masala Quest, created and hosted by Sarina Kamini, an Indian-Australian cook, author and self-described “spice evangelist.”
The summit also unveiled the Content India Trends Report, whose findings made for bracing reading. Daoud Jackson, senior analyst at OMDIA, set the tone: “By 2030, online video in India will nearly double the revenue of traditional TV, becoming the main driver of growth.” He noted that in 2025, India produced a quarter of all YouTube videos globally, overtaking the United States, while Indians collectively spend 117 years daily on YouTube and 72 years on Instagram. Traditional subscription TV is declining as free TV and connected TV gain ground, forcing broadcasters to innovate. “AI-generated content is just 2 per cent of engagement,” Jackson added, “highlighting the dominance of high-quality human content. The key for Indian media companies is scaling while monetising effectively from day one.”
Hannah Walsh, principal analyst at Ampere Analysis, added hard numbers to the picture. India produced over 24,000 titles in January 2026 alone, with 19,000 available internationally. The country now accounts for 12 per cent of Asia-Pacific content spend, up from 8 per cent in 2021, outpacing both Japan and China. Key exporters include JioStar, Zee Entertainment, Sony India, Amazon and Netflix, delivering over 7,500 Indian-produced titles abroad each year. The top importing markets are Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, the United States and the Philippines. Scripted content dominates globally at 88 per cent, with crime dramas and children’s and family titles performing particularly strongly.
Manoj Dobhal, chief executive and executive director of Dish TV India, framed the summit’s ambition squarely. “Stories don’t need translation. They need a platform, discovery, and reach, local or global,” he said. “India produces more movies than any country, our streaming platforms compete globally, and our tech and creators win international awards. Yet fragmentation slows growth. Producers, platforms, and tech move in different lanes. We need shared spaces, collaboration, and an ecosystem where ideas, technology, and people meet. That is why we built Content India.”
The data, the pitches and the prize money all pointed to the same conclusion: India is not waiting for the world to discover its stories. It is building the infrastructure to sell them.
