Foxtale unveils ‘Eternal Glow’ campaign with Sonali Bendre
Actor fronts Gluta-Vit C serum ad rejecting cosmetic extremes for science-led radiance.
MUMBAI: Sonali Bendre just proved that glow doesn’t need a needle sometimes all it takes is the right serum and a refusal to dim your own light. Foxtale has launched its latest campaign, ‘Eternal Glow’, starring actor Sonali Bendre as the face of its Gluta-Vit C Advanced Brightening Serum. The intimate, stripped-back film positions Bendre as the embodiment of radiance that endures beyond age, trends, and conventional beauty norms, celebrating resilience, self-belief, and consistency.
The narrative opens in a serene, clinical-white setting where Bendre calmly declines a series of cosmetic interventions fillers, glutathione shots, IV drips, syringes establishing her selective stance on beauty. The story then shifts to a gentler, science-backed solution: Foxtale’s serum, powered by an antioxidant complex of Glutathione and Vitamin C, designed to brighten, even skin tone, and deliver lasting glow without extremes. Clean visuals and sensorial close-ups build to a powerful finale as Bendre steps into the light, reinforcing that true radiance comes from trust in smart science, not shortcuts.
The collaboration marks a deliberate pivot for Foxtale, moving away from youth-obsessed endorsements toward authenticity and timeless beauty. By choosing Bendre, a figure long admired for her quiet strength and evolved self-assurance, the brand aligns with women who value real results over fleeting ideals.
In a beauty market flooded with quick fixes, Foxtale’s campaign quietly asks a louder question: why chase temporary shine when you can choose glow that lasts? With Bendre leading the way, the answer feels refreshingly clear and brilliantly lit.

Jubilant FoodWorks faces Rs 47.5 crore GST demand, plans appeal
Tax authorities flag alleged misclassification of restaurant services
MUMBAI:Â Jubilant FoodWorks Limited has landed in a tax tussle after receiving a GST demand of Rs 47.5 crore from the office of the additional commissioner of CGST and central excise in Thane, Maharashtra.
The order, issued under the provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, relates to an alleged incorrect classification of certain services under the category of restaurant services. According to the tax authorities, this classification resulted in a short payment of goods and services tax for the period between the financial years 2019-20 and 2021-22.
The demand includes Rs 47.5 crore in GST along with an equal amount as penalty, in addition to applicable interest. The order was received by the company on March 13, 2026.
In a regulatory filing to the BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, the company said it disagrees with the order and believes its arguments were not adequately considered.
The company is preparing to challenge the decision and plans to file an appeal. It added that once the redressal process is complete, the demand is likely to be dropped.
Despite the sizeable figure attached to the notice, the company said it does not expect any material impact on its financials, operations or other activities.
The disclosure was signed by Suman Hegde, EVP and chief financial officer, who confirmed that the company received the order at 19:06 IST on March 13 and has already initiated steps to contest it.
The development places the quick service restaurant major in the middle of a tax debate that could hinge on how certain restaurant-linked services are classified under GST rules. For now, the company appears ready to take the matter from the tax office to the appeals desk.
