Bollywood actor Taapsee Pannu joins Nykaa #BreakTheHashtag campaign

India’s leading beauty retailer, Nykaa, joins hands withBollywood actor Taapsee Pannu to launch #BreakTheHashtag, a socialawareness initiative to celebrate multi-faceted, multi-talented and multi-tasking potential in Indian women. In the video, Taapsee celebrates her many roles as a fighter, rebel, engineer and of course actor, breaking the stereotype that women are defined by a single role.  The fierce and fabulous actor embraces her incredible talents and multi-dimensional roles in life. Nykaa launched the first leg of this campaign last year with two strong women, Soha Ali Khan and Shaurya Sandhya to raise consciousness on this subject and to celebrate the multi-dimensional Indian woman.

“As women, we play a different role every hour of the day. Not only are we a homemaker, wife, sister, daughter, we’re also entrepreneurs, the boss, actors. So let’s just break the hashtag!” says Taapsee Pannu.

“We believe that Taapsee Pannu is the perfect partner for our campaign as she embodies the idea that women can play many roles in their life. At Nykaa, we believe in empowering women and encouraging them to break stereotypes.

We are very proud to continue this campaign with Taapsee”, says Falguni Nayar, CEO and Founder, Nykaa.com.

The campaign was launched on the social media on 6th October and has received a resounding

response of over 1 million views on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.
