ZEE Biskope Launches Instagram Filter; A Bhojpuri First
A plethora of emotions can be conveyed through a written message; however, humans are inbred to visuals. That’s exactly why emotions travelled through texts to a winking semicolon and finally to a visual representation of emoticons. While words communicate the message, emojis convey the feelings it carries. Expression of emotions has always been an integral part of any performing art be it music, dance or drama. Cinema especially is a classic example which rests on the pillar of genres like romance, drama, action & comedy. Rejoicing this delightful journey of emotions, ZEE Biskope presents its viewers with Emoji Lahariya – a category first initiative on World Emoji Day making it an occasion to remember. The two most popular concepts on the social media today are selfies and emojis. ZEE Biskope designed Emoji Lahariya with a perfect amalgamation of the two giving its viewers an opportunity to convey their self-expression through the lens of emojis.
Celebrating World Emoji Day, ZEE Biskope will launch Emoji Lahariya – a new Instagram filter on 17 July 2020, that is all set to take the excitement level up by a notch. Viewers would need to select Emoji Lahariya filter on their Instagram story screen and record a video mimicking expression of emojis displayed on the screen with the upbeat hook line of the channel’s brand song playing in the background. They can then share the video on ZEE Biskope’s Whatsapp number 8563856302 along with their full name and address. The closest and funniest matches from the barrage of videos received, will get featured on ZEE Biskope’s Social & TV platforms throughout the day on July 31.
Building up to the D-Day, the channel has initiated a teaser campaign on 10 July. This is supplemented by other emoji-led interventions like ‘Express Your Emotions’&‘Look Into The Eyes’. While the former is an interactive Q&A on quirky real-life instances that are expressed as emojis, the latter requires the viewer to look into the eyes of an emoji to play a video snippet from a popular Bhojpuri movie. World Emoji Day will also witness ZEE Biskope’s logo being recreated with Emojis across its social platforms. Just when you think that as the end of the celebrations, the channel has more happy emotions to share throughout the entry phase of the contest. ‘Emoji Scenes’ will have emoji integrated version of ZEE Biskope’s brand song and popular Bhojpuri movie sequences where relevant emojis will superimpose the face of the lead(s) matching the mood of the sequence. ‘Lovey Dubby Chat’ will involve a light-hearted, emoji driven, romantic conversation between a couple on a social messaging app leading viewer to channel tune-in. It’s truly going to be an Aanthon Pahariya Loota Emoji Lahariya time for viewers.
Speaking about the initiative, Samrat Ghosh, Cluster Head East, ZEE Entertainment Enterprises Ltd said, “Viewer engagement has always been one of the key priorities of ZEE Biskope. In times when parts of the region are going back to lockdown, digital happens to be an effective alternate media to reach out to our viewers real time.

Bali is full of memorable moments, and some of them involve animals. Temple monkeys tug at bags, beach dogs nap near sunbeds, and cats wander into cafés like they own the place. Most interactions are harmless, but a bite or scratch can change the day quickly, because you may need immediate medical care and follow-up treatment. This is where Bali travel insurance becomes more than a box to tick.
In this article, you will explore whether animal bite treatment is insured, the exclusions, and the steps to claim easily in Bali.
Why Animal Bites in Bali Need Special Attention
Bites are not only about the visible wound. Insurers and doctors both treat them as medical events that can pose an infection risk, especially when the bite breaks the skin.
A scratch that looks small in the moment can still lead to:
● A doctor’s examination and wound cleaning
● Medicines and dressings
● Follow-up consultations if the doctor advises observation or further care
From an insurance perspective, this matters because claims are usually assessed on medical necessity and documentation, not on how dramatic the injury appears in a photo.
How International Travel Insurance Looks at an Animal Bite
Most travel policies are built around emergency medical expenses for unexpected illness or accidental injury abroad. A bite or scratch usually fits the accidental injury bucket, but coverage is rarely blanket.
In many plans, the following may be considered if a doctor prescribes them and bills and medical notes support them:
● Consultation and outpatient treatment
● Emergency care and procedures, such as wound dressing or stitches, if clinically required
● Prescribed medicines and investigations
● Hospitalisation if the treating doctor confirms it is needed
Common Reasons Claims Get Reduced or Rejected
This is the part travellers often miss. Insurers usually do not deny claims because an animal was involved. Claims become difficult when the event looks avoidable, the reporting is delayed, or the paperwork is weak.
Avoidable-Risk Situations Insurers Scrutinise
Policies commonly exclude or limit claims linked to unsafe conduct or preventable exposure. For animal bites, scrutiny may increase if the incident appears connected to:
● Provoking, feeding, or trying to handle wild animals
● Ignoring warning signs at tourist spots
● Being intoxicated at the time of the incident
● Activities that a policy lists as excluded or restricted
The takeaway is simple: if your own description sounds like a risky choice rather than a sudden accident, the insurer may challenge it.
Delays, Missing Papers, and Policy Conditions
Even when your incident is genuinely accidental, claims can still stall due to basics such as:
● Not informing the insurer or assistance partner within the required time
● Missing itemised bills, prescriptions, or clinical notes
● No proof of travel dates or passport entry details when requested
● Submitting only pharmacy slips without a doctor’s consultation record
International travel insurance is paperwork-driven. If you document it well, you reduce the chance of avoidable back-and-forth.
What to Do If You Are Bitten or Scratched in Bali
Your health comes first, always. But a few sensible steps can protect your recovery and keep your insurance file clean.
Medical Steps That Help You and Your Claim
Act fast, stay calm, and get proper care before worrying about bills.
● Clean the wound promptly and seek medical care, even if it seems minor
● Follow the doctor’s advice, including follow-ups if recommended
● Avoid self-medicating in place of a clinical assessment, because insurers often ask for a doctor’s report
Claim Notes and Documents to Collect
Keep these handy; they’ll save time and avoid follow-up questions later.
● Doctor’s notes that mention the nature of injury, treatment given, and advised next steps
● Prescriptions and pharmacy invoices
● Itemised hospital or clinic bills
● A brief written note of where and when it happened, while it is still fresh in your mind
Final Word
Animal bites in Bali are not rare, and they are not always dramatic, which is exactly why travellers underestimate them. Many travel policies can cover bite-related medical treatment when it is accidental and medically necessary, but the outcome depends on your policy terms and the quality of your documentation. If you buy cover thoughtfully, keep the assistance number handy, and respond sensibly if an incident happens, you give yourself the best chance of both good medical care and a smoother claim experience.
