Philips OneBlade Intimate: Designed for Gen Z, redefining grooming ‘down there’
Mumbai, October 10, 2025: India’s Gen Z are rewriting the rules of self-care, especially when it comes to intimate grooming. A Philips survey of more than 6,000 young Indians found that 90% do intimate hair removal* — yet the majority still struggle with nicks, cuts and irritation or discomfort from products not made for sensitive areas. To meet that shift, Philips India today launched its global intimate grooming bestseller, Philips OneBlade Intimate, a skin-safe, unisex device designed for sensitive areas.
Backed by Philips’ bold Gen Z-first new campaign, #DontBeatAroundTheBush, and the tagline “Down There, Done Right,” the launch aims to make intimate grooming as approachable as skincare or shaving.
Made for modern self-care
“Today’s younger generations are rewriting the rules of self-care, and they’re doing it with unapologetic clarity, and embracing authenticity, comfort, and choice,” said Smit Shukla, Head of Philips Personal Health India Subcontinent. “Their openness inspired us to lead a more honest conversation around care rituals with one of our biggest grooming launches of the year. Philips OneBlade Intimate is our response to that shift, an extension of the trust and design excellence of OneBlade, now tailored for intimate grooming. It gives people the confidence and freedom to choose how they want to care for themselves, supported by the safety, comfort, and performance that they expect from Philips.”
Designed for precision, protection, and peace of mind
Early product testing revealed that nearly 90percent who tried the product would move to Philips OneBlade Intimate as their primary intimate grooming tool; the innovation includes a wide range of thoughtful features for the modern grooming routine:
- Unique OneBlade Technology: Fast-moving cutter (100x per second) powers through any length of hair, without the need for additional tools or devices
- Unique SkinProtect blade, with triple protection system: Rounded edges, bridge and rounded tips are designed to prevent nicks, cuts and irritation, offering extra safety to protect armpit and pubic skin
- Shave and Trim with extra skin protection with just one device: Attachable 3mm body comb makes it fast and easy to trim intimate hair in any direction
- Durable stainless-steel blades last up to 4 months
- Fully waterproof (IPX7), you can shave wet or dry, with or without foam, even in the shower; it is easy to clean, just rinse it under the tap
- Rechargeable Ni-MH battery (USB-A) delivers 30 minutes of cordless shaving after an 8- hour charge
Confidential – Not for Public Consumption or Distribution
Real talk, without the awkwardness
To launch OneBlade Intimate, Philips sparked curiosity with its #DontBeatAroundTheBush campaign with its message of “Down There, Done Right”: a bold outdoor and digital activation that turned heads across Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru. Giant bush-shaped installations, QR-coded teasers, and influencer buzz led to the reveal of the product. Using humor and honesty, the campaign made intimate grooming a public conversation about comfort, confidence, and choice.
Philips introduced the product to national media and creators on Oct. 9 at Taj Lands End, Mumbai. The brands’ boldest launch yet transformed the seaside terrace and pickleball courts into an immersive playground with bushy mazes, live demos, and DJ sets that kept the energy high until late.

Emotions, Egos, and a Mega Fall: Arbaz’s Game Turns the Tower Upside Down
MUMBAI, India, October 10, 2025: As the finale inches closer, the Tower of Rise and Fall is boiling with tension, shifting loyalties, and explosive confrontations. In today’s episode, the Mega Fall twist was introduced, a power-packed round where Ultimate Ruler Arbaz had to choose between two Rulers at a time, deciding who would rise and who would fall to the basement.
The first face-off was between Arjun and Bali, setting the tone for a fiery episode. Before the decision, workers were allowed to share their opinions and that’s when the situation quickly spiraled into chaos.
Aditya and Bali locked horns yet again, reviving their long-standing feud. Aditya remarked, “Bali mere liye ek emotional manchild hai jo apne emotions ko handle nahi kar sakta hai.” An agitated Bali fired back, “Itni ego kis baat ki hai? Har banda jhoote ki nok par hai, kisi se baat karne ki tameez nahi hai khudko aur dusron ko badtameez bolega.” Aditya hit back, “Kaun badtameez hai sabne dekh liya hai, ladkiyon ke saath badtameezi, Nayandeep ke saath badtameezi, bahumat mein badtameezi.” Bali retorted, “Apna mukhota hat gaya hai na, asliyat bahar aa rahi hai.” To which Aditya replied sharply, “Band kar aur bata kaha badtameezi kari hai!”
Amid the heated exchange, Akriti stepped in with her sharp observation about yesterday’s task. “Mujhe lagta hai jo runner tha uska role bahut bada tha. Bali se bohot badi galti hui. Aap ek insaan ko baar baar weak bolte ho aur phir usko hi task ke liye choose karte ho, mujhe yahan bohot bada doglapan dikhta hai.” Bali responded curtly, “Doglapan nahi, usko insaniyat kehte hai.”
Akriti didn’t hold back either, “In dono ka target rehta hai apne se weak logon ko poke karte rehna. Ye dono sabse bade insecure ladke hain. At least Nayandeep jaisa hai, vaisa behave karta hai. Ye dono mard hoke bhi harkate karte hain.” Aarush snapped, “Matlab tum weak ho?” Aarush smirked, “Iss se comeback nahi hoga, bhokne se comeback nahi hota.” And Bali concluded with a jab, “Flop picture ki flop heroine. Tu sabse badi janani hai is mamle mein.”
After the chaos, it was time for Arbaz’s big decision. Between Arjun and Bali, he chose to save Arjun, acknowledging his stronger gameplay, sending Arjun safely into finale week, while Bali fell to the basement.
The next pairing brought another emotional moment, Dhanashree and Manisha. Arbaaz once again had to make a tough call, ultimately choosing Dhanashree to continue her journey and earn her Ticket to Finale, while Manisha suffered a shocking fall.
With the Mega Fall twist shaking up the dynamics, the Tower now stands divided. Every decision is rewriting the game, and as the finale looms, one thing is clear, there’s no room left for mistakes.
In the game of Rise and Fall this week, the house is split between Workers and Rulers, with Aarush Bhola, Bali, Manisha Rani, Aditya Narayan, Kiku Sharda, Akriti Negi and Nayandeep Rakshiit hustling as Workers, while Arjun Bijlani, Dhanashree Verma and Arbaz Patel, hold the throne as Rulers.

Survey Finds Rising Student Mental Distress in Karnataka & Telangana Schools
India, October 10, 2025 – GM5 Australia based psychological wellness platform, that has been collaborating on projects in India for the past three years, has released a report highlighting a growing mental health crisis among school students in Karnataka and Telangana through its technology-enabled screening platform.
The GM5 School Survey covered 11 schools in total, engaging 2,464 students across Telangana and 2,536 students across Karnataka to assess the state of psychological well-being among adolescents. The report highlights an alarming surge in psychological distress among government and private school students aged 10-18, results mirror international data contributing to a silent epidemic that is largely overlooked.
Brendan Fahey, Founder and Chairman, GM5 said, “So far, approximately 5000+ individual students across India have already sought guidance and emotional counselling through the GM5 B2B platform. Our aim through the GM5 survey is to bring visibility to these silent struggles, the insight from this study reaffirms our belief that proactive, data-driven approaches are vital to nurturing emotionally resilient students and communities.”
Alarming Insights from Karnataka and Telangana Schools
According to the GM5 survey in Karnataka and Telangana, nearly 24% of school students aged 10–18 show signs of psychological distress, with 6–10% falling in the high or critical range that requires immediate support. The report is based on responses from over 5,000 students across government and independent schools in the two states. More than 60% reported sleep difficulties, such as trouble falling asleep or waking not well rested, while over 70% faced challenges with focus and concentration in class. Around 40% of students expressed concerns about disappointing important people in their lives like parents and teachers and less than 75% of students feel isolated and disconnected from support networks, placing them at high risk of long-term emotional and academic challenges. The most dominant and recurring stressors were the crippling fear of letting parents down, coupled with the widespread inability to sleep or concentrate.
“These results highlight that students are open to seeking help however introverted students or those concerned about stigma feel more comfortable turning to digital platforms and mental health applications for guidance and support. There is a need for a structured cohort-based psycho-education programs in schools, as well as technology-driven mental health solutions. With confidential screening, schools can identify issues early and provide the support students need.” said Dr. Lisa Fahey OAM, Founder & CEO, GM5.
The survey findings point to the importance of regular well-being checks in schools, underscoring the critical value of early screening, better collaboration between students, teachers, and parents, and targeted support for common challenges like sleep, focus, and stress management among youth.
