Vikram Kher, Vice-President, Lifestyle Audio, Harman India, said, “The youth of the country is at the core of everything we do at JBL and Sara embodies the spirit of the young and restless. Her no-holds-barred approach has already made her a role model among Gen-Y and the association with JBL will take her influence a step further.”
“Our campaign ‘Live it real, Live it raw’ featuring cultural icons like Sara Ali Khan and Ranveer Singh, is a tribute to the young spirit of India. We are proud of the work we are doing that speaks the language of the youth, challenges norms and peels back conformist attitudes,” Kher added.
“I’m thrilled, and proud to be part of the JBL team that boasts of a dynamic roster of ambassadors who I personally admire. ‘Living it raw’ and ‘living it real’ is my personal mantra, and I’m so glad to see that in the ethos of the brand JBL,” said Sara Ali Khan.
“I truly believe in saying it as it is and being who you are — in the most organic and honest way, and I think JBL is a perfect representation of this philosophy. With this association, I’m very excited to take this message of authenticity to young consumers of the iconic audio brand.”
The brand commercial launched is a combination of spirited moves by khathi-meethi personality, Sara Ali Khan and funky visual effects that will instantly elevate the mood. The film features playful lyrics that echo the confidence of young Indians like — “I’m fab and flawed”.
The film will be seen on JBL’s social media channels along with other platforms. This commercial comes as an extension of JBL’s newly launched campaign — ‘Live it Real, Live it Raw’ that seeks to challenge its consumers to live their own truth. The campaign recently went live with the first commercial featuring superstar and JBL brand ambassador, Ranveer Singh.
Sara Ali Khan joins a star-studded line-up of JBL ambassadors and partners from music, sports, and entertainment industries including actors Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra, music maestro A.R. Rahman and Olympian shuttler P.V. Sindhu in India.
