Vedix ropes in Avika Gor for new digital campaign
Mumbai: Ayurvedic beauty brand Vedix has brought on board “Balika Vadhu” actor Avika Gor to launch a digital campaign for its haircare range.
The actor explains in the campaign film how her hectic schedule and long hours coupled with non-stop shooting schedules, ultimately impacted her hair growth. This led to a lot of hair fall problems for her because of the use of harmful chemicals. She then goes on to share how Vedix-designed customised hair care regime and ayurvedic solutions helped her get past those problems.
“For the first time, I understood my dosha profile and the imbalances which were a result of using different hair products laden with chemicals. Since the time I have started to use Vedix hair oil, I just knew it was something special as it suited my hair & scalp perfectly,” said Gor.
The campaign will be promoted across the customised Ayurvedic beauty & wellness brand’s social media platforms, Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, and over-the-top (OTT) platforms starting Monday.
“With Vedix, we are bringing, trueness of 5,000 years old Ayurveda in a contemporary form,” stated Vedix business head Jatin Gujrati. “Ayurveda teaches us to customise as per individual needs. We have successfully helped lakhs of customers to break the constant trial and error cycle by providing them high efficacy products that work.”
“Work stress, long working hours leave all of us with almost no time to care for our hair and skin. Vedix was born to help our upwardly mobile customers to arrest their hair and skin concerns without worrying about side effects which are often caused with the repeated use of chemical base cosmetics,” Gujrati further said.
Vedix recently launched Gandusha/Kavala oil pulling oil oral detox and an all-new men’s skincare range further deepening its focus across three major categories – hair, face, and oral market segment.

McDonald’s India NE names Sara Arjun brand ambassador
Actor returns for nostalgic Buddy Meal campaign at Rs 119 for two.
MUMBAI: Sara Arjun just came home to McDonald’s because some love stories start with a childhood ad and end with sharing fries as grown-ups. McDonald’s India – North and East has appointed actor Sara Arjun as its brand ambassador, bringing her back to the brand that first captured her on screen as a child. The collaboration launches with a playful TVC introducing the Buddy Meal, a value offering priced at Rs 119 for two burgers (McAloo Tikki or Veg Surprise), two Cokes and one medium fries.
The film recreates the classic “girlfriend-boyfriend” banter from her original McDonald’s ad, with Sara joking about today’s “demanding” relationships before her buddy admits he just wants a simple McAloo Tikki. The voiceover lands the punch: “Shukar hai McDonald’s Buddy Meal for 2 hai… starts at just Rs 119,” closing on the tagline “Khao Meal, Baat Karo”, a celebration of uncomplicated joy and shared moments.
MMG Group and CPRL vice chairman Anant Agarwal said, “Sara’s return to McDonald’s is a wonderful reminder of the deep emotional connections many customers have grown up with. With the Buddy Meal, we are celebrating friendship, nostalgia and the simple joy of sharing a McDonald’s meal together at great value.”
Sara Arjun added, “McDonald’s has been a special part of my journey since childhood. Returning to the brand for this campaign feels incredibly nostalgic. The Buddy Meal captures the simple joy of sharing food and laughter with friends.”
Available for a limited period across McDonald’s restaurants in North and East India via dine-in, takeaway, drive-thru, the McDonald’s App and leading delivery platforms, the Buddy Meal taps into the brand’s legacy of creating relatable, feel-good moments.
In a fast-food world chasing trends, McDonald’s brings back a familiar face and a simple truth: sometimes the best dates don’t need grand gestures just good burgers, cold drinks and great company at a price that leaves everyone smiling.
