Legendary Zeenat Aman shines in Tyaani’s latest campaign
MUMBAI: When timeless glamour meets contemporary brilliance, the result is Zeenat Aman for Tyaani. The legendary actor, whose style has inspired generations, headlines Tyaani Jewellery by Karan Johar in the brand’s latest campaign, Forces of Tyaani, celebrating individuality and self-expression as the rarest forms of luxury.
In striking modern attire, Aman is transformed into a living masterpiece, adorned in Tyaani’s signature uncut diamond jewellery. The campaign positions her as more than a cinematic icon, she is the embodiment of the jewellery’s ethos: bold, luminous, and timeless.
Forces of Tyaani has previously showcased stars like Shefali Shah, Rasika Dugal, Tillotama Shome, and Kalki Koechlin. With Aman joining the roster, the narrative reaches a showstopper moment, pairing her enduring charisma with Tyaani’s contemporary jewellery mastery.
At the heart of the collection lies Tyaani’s reimagined uncut diamond technique, allowing light to pass freely through each stone, enhancing brilliance while remaining elegantly lightweight. Each piece reflects the balance of tradition and modernity, a mirror to Aman’s own ageless allure.
Tyaani Jewellery founder Karan Johar said, “Having Zeenat Aman headline Forces of Tyaani is a dream realised. Her legacy stands untamed by time, and she embodies our belief that individuality is the rarest form of luxury.”
The campaign is a celebration of more than just jewellery. It champions empowerment, inclusivity, and self-expression, encouraging women to embrace their own rhythm and story with jewels that are at once modern and eternal.
Tyaani Jewellery is available in eight cities: Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Lucknow, Chandigarh, and Ahmedabad, and online at tyaani.com.

Britannia 5050 expands premium range with caramel dipped sandwich
New launch blends 50 per cent crunch and 50 per cent melt amid premium snack shift
MUMBAI: It’s not just crunch time anymore, it’s crunch meets caramel curtain call. After more than three decades of owning the sweet-salty sweet spot, Britannia’s 5050 is now leaning into indulgence, adding a caramel twist to its evolving playbook. The brand has introduced the Britannia 5050 Caramel Dipped Crunchy Layered Sandwich, extending its recently launched premium “dipped” range that began with its cheese variant earlier this year.
At the heart of the new offering is a familiar equation with a richer finish 50 per cent crunch and 50 per cent melt reimagined through a caramel-forward profile. The product combines layered, baked crispiness with a smooth caramel coating, tapping into a noticeable shift in how India snacks today.
That shift is less about choosing between textures and more about having both. As consumer preferences tilt towards premiumisation, “melt-in-the-mouth” experiences are increasingly complementing traditional crunchy formats. Add to that the rising popularity of caramel across both Western-style treats and Indian taste adaptations, and the timing begins to make sense.
The result is a deliberately engineered “crunch-to-melt” transition, a multi-sensory bite designed to turn routine snacking into something a little more indulgent. It is also a clear signal of how legacy brands are reworking familiar formats to stay relevant in a market that now expects novelty as much as nostalgia.
Britannia vice-president for marketing Siddharth Gupta pointed to this evolving behaviour, noting that the brand is pushing the 5050 idea beyond flavour into texture. The move, he said, reflects a broader attempt to align with changing consumer expectations while strengthening its position in the premium snacking segment.
The caramel and cheese dipped variants are currently available across select cities through retail outlets and quick commerce platforms, marking Britannia’s continued push into high-frequency, high-indulgence snacking occasions.
If the original 5050 was about balance, this new chapter is about contrast with a glossy caramel finish.
