Being Human celebrates with eight unsung heroes
MUMBAI: Being Human, a clothing line “with a heart,” is all set to celebrate the completion of five years in the fashion retail industry.
The brand was launched by filmstar Salman Khan, and its global licensee, The Mandhana Retail Ventures. After launching in Europe, the brand was launched in Middle East, India, Nepal and Mauritius over the past five years.
At present, it has more than 600 points-of-sale globally. The brand has received global acceptance due to its unique model wherein, through the sale of each garment, the brand supports education and healthcare initiatives undertaken by Being Human – The Salman Khan Foundation.
This brand is an interesting mix of creativity and functionality supported by cost-effective product development. Taking the brand ethos forward, the clothing line has made a distinct identity for itself in the retail industry by employing one differently-abled employee as a fashion consultant in each of its stores.
To mark its anniversary, #5YearsOfBeingHumanClothing campaign by the brand features Salman Khan and eight Unsung Heroes from distinct fields. The campaign is shot by the renowned photographer Prasad Naik and conceptualised by agency Pulp.
Each individual is an unsung hero of a space which our society needs but are hesitant and callous about. This initiative by the brand stands for and believes in Being Brave, Being Courageous and most of all, Being an Awesome Human

Khan said: “These heroes made me see the world through their eyes. Their constant efforts to make a difference and create positive change is simply phenomenal. When I see so much selflessness, compassion and eagerness to do good for our society, especially in such young people, it is an absolutely great feeling.”
