Bhai Behen aur Banter: A celebration of sibling shenanigans
Mumbai: Raksha Bandhan, the celebration of the endearing bond between siblings, takes a humorous spin this year. Dabur Amla, in a strategic collaboration with Schbang, the creative, media, and technology transformation company, unveils an exhilarating event that delves deep into the playful heart of sibling relationships.
Comedians Raunaq Rajani and Ankita Shrivastav lead the charge, representing the “Bhai Gang” and “Sister Squad” respectively. Through their comedic roasts, they uncover and jest about the delightful intricacies that mark every sibling relationship. From friendly banter to hilarious revelations, the roast promises waves of laughter and nods of recognition.
Regarding this innovative initiative, Dabur Amla head of marketing – hair care Ankur Kumar commented, “This Raksha Bandhan, we wanted to do something beyond the conventional. Siblings share a relationship that’s filled with playful banter. Through this campaign, we not only celebrate that bond but also the deeper emotional connection beneath the surface that highlights stronger roots. Being Jadon se mazboot is something that Dabur Amla stands for, and this is what is being reinstated through this salt and sweet banter.”
The event promises a visual and comedic treat. Adding to the fun, there are eager siblings from the audience, each resonating with the roast and cheering for their respective side.
Schbang executive vice president Rohan Hukeri shares his thoughts, “Collaborating with Dabur Amla for this unique Raksha Bandhan event was an exciting journey. We wanted to capture the essence of sibling relationships in a way that’s both relatable and refreshing. The sibling relationship is extremely dynamic & they are often being called the ‘Frenemies’. While there are regular banters between the siblings, the bedrock of the relationship is the stronger bond & understanding nature between the two. I believe the format of our roast taps into exactly that.”
As the comedians take audiences on a rollercoaster of emotions, the event wraps up on a poignant note, with Dabur Amla urging siblings to indulge in a ‘Dabur Amla Champi’ session. An ode to the deep-rooted #JadonSeMazboot bond, it’s a moment for reflection, rejuvenation, and reconnection.
This Raksha Bandhan, Dabur Amla and Schbang extend an invitation to relive, laugh, and celebrate the indomitable spirit of siblinghood.

Hyundai India posts record April sales with 17-per cent growth
Domestic sales hit 51,902 units, exports stand at 13,708 units
MUMBAI: Hyundai is clearly shifting gears and April has put the pedal firmly to the metal. Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has reported its highest-ever domestic sales for the month of April, clocking 51,902 units in April 2026, marking a 17 per cent year-on-year growth. The milestone sets a strong tone for the new financial year, signalling sustained demand momentum across its portfolio. Alongside domestic performance, the company recorded export volumes of 13,708 units for the month, underlining its continued strength in overseas markets.
The growth has been driven by a mix of refreshed models and special editions across segments. Recent launches and updates including the Exter, Verna, Ioniq 5, Creta Summer Edition, Grand i10 NIOS Vibe Edition and Venue Knight Edition have helped keep the line-up competitive in an increasingly crowded market.
A standout performer was the Venue, which recorded its highest-ever monthly domestic sales of 12,420 units. The model’s 5-Star Bharat NCAP safety rating, including for the VENUE N Line, appears to have bolstered consumer confidence, reflecting a broader industry shift where safety credentials are becoming a key purchase driver.
Tarun Garg, Managing Director and CEO, HMIL, said the company has carried forward recent momentum into the new financial year, with product interventions and safety-focused positioning playing a central role in driving growth.
The numbers suggest Hyundai’s strategy is ticking multiple boxes fresh product cycles, safety-led messaging and steady export performance. If April is any indication, the company isn’t just starting the year strong, it’s aiming to keep the engine running at full throttle.
