Candere, the lifestyle jewellery brand from the House of Kalyan Jewellers, has announced celebrated Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana as its new brand ambassador. Joining Shah Rukh Khan as the face of the brand, Smriti’s association marks a significant step in Candere’s journey to strengthen its connect with young, modern Indian consumers.

One of India’s most accomplished cricketers, Smriti has built a strong connection with audiences through her achievements, consistency and authenticity. At a time when women’s cricket continues to command growing attention across the country, her association with Candere reflects the brand’s focus on consumers who view jewellery not as something reserved for occasions, but as a natural part of everyday self-expression.

Ramesh Kalyanaraman, Director, Candere, Said:

“Smriti Mandhana’s influence extends far beyond the cricket field. She represents a generation that values ambition, authenticity and confidence, and has become an inspiration to millions through her achievements and conduct. We are delighted to welcome her as the face of Candere alongside Shah Rukh Khan.

Together, they reflect the diversity of today’s India and the many ways consumers express themselves. As Candere continues to grow as a lifestyle jewellery brand, Smriti’s association will help us deepen our connect with audiences across the country.”

As consumer preferences continue to evolve, jewellery is increasingly becoming part of everyday dressing rather than being reserved for special occasions. Candere has built its offering around this shift, with contemporary collections designed to complement daily routines, personal style and modern lifestyles. From workdays and weekends to celebrations and milestones, the brand’s versatile designs enable consumers to wear jewellery more often, more effortlessly and more meaningfully.

Commenting on the association, Smriti Mandhana Said:

“I’m delighted to associate with Candere, a brand that truly understands the style sensibilities of today’s consumers. For me, jewellery isn’t something that’s reserved for special occasions; it’s something I wear every day. It’s a part of my personal style and often the finishing touch that makes me feel like myself.

Candere’s contemporary designs fit effortlessly into that mindset, making jewellery relevant for everyday moments. I’m excited to be part of this journey and look forward to connecting with audiences through the brand’s campaigns.”

With over 130 retail stores across India and a rapidly growing presence nationwide, Candere continues to shape the evolving lifestyle jewellery category. The brand’s omni-channel approach offers customers a seamless shopping experience across its expanding retail footprint and digital platform. Backed by the trusted legacy of Kalyan Jewellers, Candere combines craftsmanship, contemporary design and accessibility to create jewellery that becomes a natural part of consumers’ everyday lives.

Second Season Of Love: De Beers India Releases ‘Phir Se, Thoda Romance’, A Micro-Drama Starring Tisca Chopra and Rahul Bose

A six-Episode Series Based on Their Recent ‘Love, from Hubby’ Ritual Campaign

Published

on

What happens when a couple, years into marriage, decides to start dating again? De Beers India answers with ‘Phir Se, Thoda Romance’, a six-episode micro-drama starring Tisca Chopra and Rahul Bose, directed by Tarun Gulati based on the recent ‘Love, from Hubby’ campaign. The series premieres on 12th November 2026 on Instagram at @heerahaisadakeliye.

The story follows Ishita and Arjun, a couple whose lives have revolved around their daughter till she leaves home for college. One evening, Arjun gives Ishita a one-carat natural diamond solitaire with an unexpected request, ‘date me again’. What follows is a warm, funny and often tender journey of rediscovery. The two chart out a list of things they want to experience together, from cooking to revisiting memories they had almost forgotten. Along the path, old habits are challenged, new surprises emerge and two people who thought they knew each other completely find there is so much to discover.

Told through everyday moments, relatable humour and honest conversations, each short episode captures a feeling many long-married couples will recognise, that love, however deep, can still feel exciting.

The real love solitaire is the emotional spark of the story. For Arjun and Ishita, it is not a wedding gift or an anniversary token. It marks a decision to keep choosing each other. In doing so, the series challenges the idea that a one-carat solitaire belongs only to brides or younger couples and presents it as a meaningful expression of love within a long-standing marriage.

‘Love, From Hubby’ is built around a simple belief that relationships deserve to be celebrated well beyond the traditional milestones of weddings and anniversaries. It reflects a shift visible in the De Beers India Diamond Acquisition Study 2025, where celebrating a relationship milestone and expressing love or commitment rank among the top reasons Indians choose natural diamonds. The micro-drama brings that shift to life, showing that the most meaningful occasion can simply be a couple deciding it is time to celebrate each other.

Toranj Mehta, Country Head, Category Marketing, De Beers India, said:

“We wanted to tell a story which every long-term married couple can relate to. Love doesn’t lose its spark with time; it just waits for someone to make room for it again. Ishita and Arjun’s journey shows that you don’t need a milestone to celebrate a relationship. Sometimes the occasion is simply that you would choose each other all over again. A natural diamond, formed over billions of years, is a fitting way to mark that choice.”

Tisca Chopra, said:

“What I loved about Ishita as a character is that she isn’t looking for grand gestures. She’s been busy being everything to everyone, and then her husband asked her out again on a date with a solitaire. That’s both funny and deeply moving. It reminds you that marriage isn’t the finish line, and that being pursued, even by someone you’ve known for years, never gets old.”

Viewers can catch all six episodes of ‘Phir Se, Thoda Romance’ on Instagram @heerahaisadakeliye, with episodes releasing from 12th November, 2026.
