As part of this association, the brand has released a new TVC with Anushka featuring the new Godrej Expert Rich Crème hair colour with 10X more aloe vera. This new offering comes in 5 beautiful colours Natural Black, Natural Brown, Dark Brown, Black Brown and Burgundy loaded with the goodness of 10X more aloe vera that makes the hair softer, shinier and gorgeous. The TVC highlights how one can shed their inhibitions to colour their hair and step out with confidence as Godrej Expert Rich Crème ensures rich colour backed by a formula enriched with the goodness of aloe vera making hair soft and shiny.
Conceptualized by Creativeland Asia, the TVC opens with Anushka entering her friend’s house as they are prepping to step out. On seeing her friend, Anushka instinctively compliments her pretty dress and asks her to wear her hair down instead of tying it up. Reluctant to do so, the friend points out to her white hair. Anushka hands her a packet of Godrej Expert Rich Crème hair colour, confident that the benefits of 10X more aloe vera will not just cover the greys but also takes care of the hair. She goes on to add how Godrej Expert Rich Crème contains no ammonia formulation that makes hair softer and shinier.
Commenting on the TVC, Anu Joseph, Chief Creative Officer, Creativeland Asia, said, “Godrej Expert is an iconic brand that has pretty much taught Indians to colour their hair with the care it deserves. With the new breakthrough of 10x aloe vera, the dekhbhaal goes up several notches higher. Putting all hair colour worries to rest, while also delivering gorgeous colour. In the TVC, we have Anushka Sharma asking her friend to colour her hair with the reassurance of a colour that cares like a friend would.”
