Pantene appoints Anushka Sharma as brand ambassador
NEW DELHI: Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma is the face of the “new and best ever” Pantene (#AnushkaforPantene).
Sharma said, “I love experimenting with my hair! Whether it’s my current wob, or a fringe cut or colouring my hair, but with my busy schedule and hectic lifestyle, my hair is exposed to a lot of chemicals, styling treatments and worst of all pollution, dust and heat.”
“When Pantene approached me with what they claimed to be the new and best ever Pantene, I had my doubts – is this new Pantene really the best ever? Will it give me my desired hair? Well I had to put it to test and I was definitely surprised! After using Pantene, I have to admit I saw a change in my hair. My hair looked visibly healthy and felt so soft! And what’s more? I saw these results almost immediately. From the first wash itself I felt it works from within. My hair just soaks it all up and over time I’ve noticed how my hair has gotten stronger, shinier and more manageable. The new best ever Pantene has given me my best ever hair – which is stronger inside and shinier outside,” she added.
Sharma has been known for her natural beauty and style of experimenting.

Angel One Q4 profit surges 83 per cent to Rs 320cr
year net profit dips 22 per cent to Rs 915cr as revenue softens slightly to Rs 5,137cr.
MUMBAI: Angel One has just earned its wings in style delivering a blockbuster Q4 that proves the brokerage giant is still flying high even in a cautious market. Standalone revenue from operations for the three months ended 31 March 2026 rose sharply to Rs 1,459cr, up from Rs 1,056cr a year ago. Total income stood at Rs 1,467cr. After all expenses, profit before tax came in at Rs 440cr, while net profit for the quarter surged 83 per cent to Rs 320cr (versus Rs 175cr last year). Basic EPS stood at Rs 3.52 and diluted at Rs 3.44.
For the full year ended 31 March 2026, revenue from operations was Rs 5,137cr compared with Rs 5,238cr in FY25. Total income reached Rs 5,152cr. Profit before tax was Rs 1,272cr, and net profit came in at Rs 915cr (down from Rs 1,172cr). Basic EPS was Rs 10.09 (from Rs 13.00) and diluted Rs 9.85 (from Rs 12.68).
Total comprehensive income for the quarter stood at Rs 321cr, while the full-year figure was Rs 913cr.
The strong quarterly performance reflects robust growth in interest income (Rs 455cr) and fees & commission (Rs 1,000cr), even as the full-year numbers moderated amid a softer overall environment. Finance costs rose to Rs 134cr in Q4 (full year Rs 437cr), while employee benefits stood at Rs 244cr for the quarter (full year Rs 1,067cr).
In a year when many brokers felt the pinch of muted market activity, Angel One has delivered a sparkling Q4 that shows its core broking engine is firing on all cylinders. With the books now closed on FY26, the Mumbai-based player has once again demonstrated that consistent execution and a sharp focus on retail participation continue to pay rich dividends in India’s booming capital markets.
