Marking a vibrant blend of cinema, tradition, and culture, the Kalyanaraman family’s annual Navaratri celebration brought together prominent personalities from Bollywood and South Indian cinema to revel in the festive spirit.

This year’s Naavratri celebrations at the Kalyanaraman residence paid homage to the cosmic tale of Samudra Manthan, the legendary churning of the ocean symbolising the eternal struggle between good and evil. At the heart of the theme was a majestic recreation of Kailash Parvat and a sacred Shivling, celebrating Lord Shiva’s role as the cosmic force of balance, transformation, and divine consciousness. Enhancing the spiritual narrative was a striking display of the Sapta Matrikas, honouring the Mother Goddess in her seven divine forms. These fierce and protective aspects, believed to have emerged to help defeat the demon Andhakasura, are venerated for their powers of protection, prosperity, and spiritual upliftment. Together, these elements captured the essence of transformation, the triumph of virtue, and the sacred interplay between the divine masculine and feminine.

A key highlight of the celebration was the traditional Bommai Kolu, a vibrant, multi-tiered display of dolls and figurines carefully arranged to reflect both the divine and the everyday. A cherished Navaratri tradition in many southern Indian households, the Kolu at the Kalyanaraman residence portrayed mythological stories, scenes from daily life, and the divine presence of Goddesses Saraswati, Parvati, and Lakshmi. Guests were warmly welcomed and guided through the display, which symbolised the journey from the material to the spiritual, offering insights into the cultural and devotional significance embedded in each layer.

The evening was graced by leading film personalities including Akshay Kumar, Nagarjuna & Amala, Nag Chaitanya & Akhil Akkineni, Karishma Kapoor, Tabu, Genelia Deshmukh, Malaika Arora, Sreeleela, Kalyani Priyadarshan, Prabhu Ganesan & Vikram Prabhu, Suchitra Mohanlal, Jayaram & Parvathy, Kalidas Jayaram & Tarini, Malavika Mohanan, Dir. Satyan Athikkad with Akhil and Anoop Satyan, Jayasurya, Indrajith & Poornima, Kavya Madhavan & Dileep, Kriti Shetty, Rejena Cassandra, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Sreeleela, Sayami Kher, Priya Varrier, Pearle Maaney, Navya Nair, Supriya Menon, Lakshmi Gopalaswami, Mamta Mohandas. Kalyan Jewellers’ regional brand ambassadors, including Ritabhari Chakraborty (West Bengal), Pooja Sawant (Maharashtra) and Kinjal Rajpriya (Gujarat), further added to the grandeur of the evening, embodying the brand’s ethos of uniting tradition with modernity.

The private celebration seamlessly wove together cinema, culture, and spirituality, with the Kalyanaraman family continuing its legacy of creating an event that is both intimate and spectacular.

Breaking the Mold: Men’s Jewellery Becomes the New Creative Frontier

Published

For decades, Indian jewellery advertising revolved around brides, tradition, and heirloom glamour. But the narrative is shifting — fast. The global men’s jewellery market, valued at $48.5 billion in 2024, is projected to reach $75.9 billion by 2034, fuelled by cultural evolution, celebrity influence, and the rise of jewellery as personal expression.

In India and the Asia-Pacific region, this trend is even more pronounced. Urban, fashion-forward consumers with growing spending power are embracing jewellery as an extension of identity. As a result, men’s jewellery is no longer a niche — it is becoming one of the most dynamic creative spaces in advertising today.

Brands are moving beyond selling accessories; they are reshaping modern masculinity, crafting fresh visual stories, and redefining aspiration. Jewellery is no longer static — it is identity, narrative, and performance. And as men’s jewellery becomes more expressive and fluid, creativity becomes the ultimate differentiator.

Here are some standout brands and celebrities redefining the men’s jewellery movement:

Allu Sirish Makes a Statement with Kishandas Jewellery

Actor Allu Sirish, accompanied by fiancée Nayanika, wore a striking choker by Kishandas Jewellery during their engagement.
The choice reflects a growing acceptance of ornate, expressive pieces for men on special occasions.

A bold move — and a beautiful nod to heritage craftsmanship.

Regal charm meets heritage craftsmanship as Lakshya Lalwani brings alive Tyaani’s signature Polki elegance. The campaign, curated by Tyaani by Karan Johar, showcases a modern yet royal interpretation of uncut diamonds — a fresh take on masculine luxury.

MEN’S EDIT: THE POWER OF BRILLIANCE — Fiona Diamonds

Fiona Diamonds presents The Men’s Edit — a collection where precision craftsmanship meets quiet confidence.

Their men’s line offers bracelets, chains, rings, earrings, and LGD creations that blend strength, individuality, and subtle elegance.

Perfect for gifting — or for the man who owns his shine.

Mohanlal x Vinsmera — Breaking Stereotypes, Embracing Fluidity

Superstar Mohanlal, the face of Vinsmera, captures the brand’s vision of evolving jewellery culture beyond boundaries.
In the campaign, he gracefully wears traditionally women’s jewellery, normalising the idea that adornment has no gender.

Vinsmera’s entry into India focuses on diversity, inclusivity, and a bold reimagining of men’s jewellery.

Men’s Jewellery: Not Just an Accessory, but a Movement

From Polki chokers to diamond links, from gender-fluid styling to modern silver edits — men’s jewellery is evolving into an aspirational, expressive category with limitless creative potential.

And as this space grows, each campaign becomes an opportunity to rewrite not just style — but perception.
