Joy Personal Care ropes in Mithila Palkar and Divyendu Sharma for new facewash TVC
MUMBAI: Joy Personal Care from the house of RSH Global has launched a new TV campaign with Mithila Palkar and Divyendu Sharma to promote its range of face wash with natural extracts.
The TVC, which goes on-air on 14 March showcases new age relationship between a young couple and emphasises on the fact that people who love us, love us for what we are, our ‘Asli Chehera’.

Talking about the campaign and signing Mithila and Divyendu, RSH Global chief marketing officer Poulomi Roy said, “According to our estimates, Facewash in India is a Rs 1600 crore category and largely the user base is youth hence connecting with them is crucial. We have chosen Mithila and Divyendu for this campaign as they have immense influence over the younger generation and bring a fresh youthful vibe to Joy and we are confident that the youth will be able to connect with them and the story. Simultaneously as a brand, we do not believe in creating artificial standards for beauty, instead we strongly promote our philosophy of being ‘beautiful by nature’ and the communication in this TVC also revolves around the same. We see a great interest in natural based products amongst the youth and all Joy products are made from natural extracts which helps in maintaining healthy skin.”
NATIONAL: Amazon Ads has laid out a sharply tech-led vision for the advertising industry in 2026, arguing that artificial intelligence, streaming TV and creator partnerships will combine to turn brand building into a more precise, performance-driven business.
At the heart of the shift, the company says, is the fusion of AI with Amazon’s vast trove of shopping, browsing and streaming signals, allowing advertisers to move beyond blunt reach metrics to campaigns designed around real customer behaviour.
“The future of advertising is not about reaching more people, but the right people with messages that resonate,” said Amazon Ads India head and vice president Girish Prabhu. “By combining AI with deep customer insights, we help brands move from broadcasting campaigns to having meaningful conversations wherever audiences spend their time.”
One of the biggest changes, according to Amazon Ads, will be the collapse of the wall between media planning and creative development. Retail media, powered by first-party data, is increasingly shaping everything from brand discovery to final purchase, pushing marketers to design campaigns around audience insight rather than internal instinct.
AI is also moving from a support tool to a creative engine. Agentic AI, which automates and accelerates production, is expected to make high-quality creative accessible even to small businesses, compressing weeks of work into hours and giving challengers the ability to compete with larger brands on speed and scale.
Behind the scenes, AI-driven analytics will take on a bigger role in campaign optimisation, identifying patterns, spotting opportunities and recommending actions that would previously have required teams of analysts.
Streaming TV is another big battleground. With India’s video streaming audience now above 600 million and connected TV users at 129.2 million in 2025, advertisers are set to treat streaming not just as a branding channel but as a performance engine, measured increasingly by sales, sign-ups and bookings rather than just reach.
Finally, Amazon Ads sees creators and contextual advertising reshaping how brands tell stories. Creators will act less like influencers and more like long-term partners, while scene-aware ads on streaming platforms will allow brands to insert hyper-relevant offers into the flow of what viewers are watching.
Taken together, Amazon Ads argues, these shifts mark a move towards advertising that is both more human and more measurable, where AI handles the complexity, and creativity does the persuading.
