Paving the way for wedding season, Mohey, women’s leading bridal wear brand has launched a wedding campaign film featuring Alia Bhatt, celebrating every bride in a way that they should be. The wedding campaign fuelled with emotions celebrates the brides and families who rethink wedding traditions in modern times and redefine them into progressive ones. In a refreshingly new manner, the film presents a small but significant gesture of respect and equality, that could herald a change. A change from Kanyadaan, to KANYAMAAN.
Mohey’s new wedding campaign Kanyamaan is
The film opens with Alia reminiscing her childhood days where she is being constantly reminded by her grandmother and parents how one day she will have to walk away into her new role as a bride, wife and daughter-in-law. She repeatedly questions and asks ‘Alag ho jaana, paraaya ho jaana Kisi aur ke haath saunpa jaana…Main koi daan karne ki cheez hoon? Kyun sirf Kanyadaan?’ Riddled with a plethora of emotions on her wedding day, Alia glances at her family and pensively recalls all the prior conversations around her Kanyadaan. When the ceremony begins, the pundit gestures the parents to give Alia’s hand into the groom’s. As a response, in a surprising move the groom’s parents come forward to take his hand and join in the ceremony with the bride and her parents. All six pairs of hands together, with Alia’s hand on top represents a new wave of ritual – Respect for the daughter & welcoming her into the family with KANYAMAAN. Celebrating the happy union together!
