‘Kuch baatein, Kadak hai’ is a narrative set in an office premises where the main lead gets late to the office because he was apparently helping his wife, on account of his house-help being ill. One of his colleagues questions that his wife is a home-maker, so what’s the need of helping her? The response he gets is an eye opener for millions of Indians and protagonists across the World. Launching on 27th July 2020, the campaign aims to reach maximum Indian households in India and across the globe through digital mediums such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin and Youtube. It will be amplified across 4 weeks. The inception of the campaign is based on the central thought of breaking gender stereotypes and as a conversation that is “Kadak” or “Strong”. This helps the audience realize the unintentional social gender roles which have been created and followed across the years and need to be revisited.
