~ ‘Dekhna Hai Toh Khel Dekho’: Celebrating Talent Over Stereotypes ~
Mia by Tanishq, one of India’s leading fine jewellery brands, unveils its latest campaign titled “Dekhna Hai Toh Khel Dekho.” This inspiring campaign features the exceptionally talented Arjuna awardee and World’s no. 1 female para-archer, Sheetal Devi, highlighting her unmatched skills, indomitable spirit, and passion for her sport. Through her powerful perspective, Mia aims to inspire everyone to recognize their own capabilities, pursue their passions with pride, and showcase their strengths, letting the star within shine bright.
Mia’s culture code has led the brand to craft stories and diverse narratives featuring unconventional and real women in their campaigns, including, athletes, mom-bloggers, body-positivity influencers, people across the gender spectrum, someone with Down’s syndrome and many more. The latest campaign featuring Sheetal Devi reinforces the brand’s commitment to celebrating diverse talents and stories by being the first jewellery brand collaborating with a para-athlete.
In this heart-warming campaign, Mia poignantly portrays Sheetal Devi’s journey, as it opens with scenes of curious glances, unabashed stares and a sense of awe from people staring at her. In a twist, the person being stared at is revealed to be Sheetal Devi, conveying an impactful message that while people often stare for obvious reasons, it is her achievements that make her truly shine. The film then highlights her exceptional talent in archery, urging viewers to focus on her skills and her game: “Dekhna hai toh mera khel dekho.” As she prepares to aim and shoot the arrow, the custom-made evil-eye anklet on her feet symbolizes the protection she seeks for her talent. Crafted by Mia at Sheetal’s request, the anklet serves as a guardian for her invaluable feet, embodying her dedication and belief in her journey. Through powerful visuals and heartfelt narration, the film evokes admiration and respect, encouraging the audience to look beyond appearances and celebrate talent and ambition. This narrative reinforces how Mia is a proud believer of the ‘Star in You‘, leaving a lasting emotional impact.
