Sun Neo Actress Suman Singh Highlights the Importance of Negative Roles
Sun Neo’s actress Suman Singh talks about her character: “I truly believe a negative character is just as important as the lead….”
In every story, there’s a character who wears a smile on the outside but hides a storm within and in Satyaa Sachee, that twist comes through Sundari. Played by Suman Singh, Sundari is the kind of character who instantly pulls your attention, not because she’s loud, but because she’s unpredictable. She brings depth, drama, and a spark that keeps the audience guessing what she’ll do next.
While talking about her character, Suman says,
“I play the character of Sundari in the show. In general, whenever something good or bad happens, our eyes first go to the bad or the shocking thing. Bad things always grab attention and that’s exactly how my character is. Sundari pretends to be sweet, positive, and perfect, but in reality, she’s nothing like that. She’s a negative character who is always trying to convince everyone that she’s actually a good person.”
She further added,
“I’ve always wanted to play a challenging character that teaches me something new, and this role gave me exactly that. I truly believe a negative character is just as important as the lead because they bring the twists, the drama, and the spark to the story. To highlight the positive side of any character, you need a strong negative one opposite them and that’s the flavour Sundari adds to Satyaa Sachee.”
The show tells the story of Satyaa and Sachee, two inseparable sisters from a small village. Bold and fearless Satyaa, and gentle, selfless Sachee, share a bond not out of duty, but built on a promise rooted in love. Their connection is natural and unbreakable. No matter what challenges life throws at them, they stand by each other, protecting, supporting, and being a silent strength of each other.

Myntra M-Now Celebrates its 1st Birthday with a Viral ‘Edible Billboard’ Activation
Mumbai, Nov 21:– In a groundbreaking marketing activation that blurred the lines between advertising and reality, Sociowash created India’s first fully edible billboard to celebrate Myntra M-Now’s 1st birthday. The 6-foot installation in Maxus mall, Borivali left consumers genuinely confused, unable to tell if they were looking at a billboard or something else entirely.
The activation tapped into the viral “Is it real or cake?” trend, turning passive viewers into active participants. Mall-goers stopped, stared, and gathered around the installation, apprehensive about what they were seeing. The deliberate ambiguity created exactly what the brand wanted: curiosity and conversation.
“We wanted to create a moment of pure disbelief,” said Raghav, Co-founder at Sociowash. “In an era where consumers scroll past thousands of ads daily, we needed to make them stop, question, and engage. The confusion on people’s faces when they realized this billboard was actually cake – that’s the kind of organic engagement that money can’t buy.”
Once the brave ones took the first taste and word spread, the activation exploded. Within 40 minutes, the entire 6-foot cake was gone, consumed by enthusiastic mall-goers who couldn’t resist being part of the moment.
“Offline activations are always challenging when you’re trying to pull off innovations. After the flying billboard and a few other ideas, this one was equally demanding. It needed much more than just getting the right people on board. Creating this huge cake was the biggest task, and after that came the constant “what if?” attitude. As we always say in these situations: 99 things can go wrong, and only one can go right, and that 1 is getting it done perfectly.”, added Shubham Chawla, Business Head.
The Celebration Continues;
As a part of its first birthday celebrations, the edible billboard perfectly captured what M-Now stands for – instant gratification. The installation disappeared almost as quickly as it went viral, with people sharing their disbelief and delight across social media. It proves that the best campaigns don’t just capture attention. They create confusion, curiosity, and conversation.

Supertails Launches Viral Wedding-Themed Campaign ‘Hooman Di Wedding’
Supertails Goes Viral with Its New Wedding-Themed Campaign, Launches the ‘Hooman Di Wedding’
Bengaluru, Nov 21st : Supertails, India’s leading digital-first pet care brand, is turning up the shaadi season sale with its latest campaign- Hooman Di Wedding Sale, running from 23rd November to 2nd December. The wedding-themed sale brings together Supertails’ signature mix of emotion and humour, inviting pet parents to enjoy India’s favourite festive season reimagined through the lens of their pets.
Because every family has that one decision-maker and this time, it’s the pet. The Hooman Di Wedding Sale is built on a simple yet familiar insight: for every committed pet parent, their pet’s approval of a life partner is non-negotiable. The campaign celebrates this bond, reimagining the wedding season with pets as the true decision-makers because no rishta is complete without their say.
At the heart of the campaign is a lighthearted, Ekta Kapoor-style brand film that captures the melodrama and humour of a classic Indian wedding. The story opens on a “rishta pakka” moment between two families, the music swells, the sweets are ready when the bride’s pets make a grand, dramatic entry to object to the match. They demand to know if the groom is truly worthy of becoming their new pawrent. With a little help from Supertails, the groom wins them over with goodies and treats before going down on one knee not just to the bride, but to the pets too asking, “Will you all marry me?” The story ends on a heartwarming note, with the pets finally approving the match and welcoming him into their family.
Online, each day of the sale mirrors a different wedding function, from ‘Daawat-e-Baarat’ (food deals) to ‘Band, Baaj, Bling’ (accessory sales) and ‘Healthily Ever After’ (pharmacy offers). Off-platform, the campaign extended to witty matrimonial spoofs voiced by Supertails’ iconic “pet aunties”, and the Pet Parent Palooza, a first-of-its-kind carnival in Bengaluru curated with Kaunversations, where pet parents and their partners came together to meet, mingle, and celebrate their “pet-approved” connections.
Speaking about the campaign, Vineet Khanna, Co-founder of Supertails, said:
“Every pet parent knows that the relationships we build are shaped by the ones waiting for us at home – our pets. With the Hooman Di Wedding Sale, we wanted to bring this truth alive in a fun, dramatic way that mirrors the film and the festive spirit of shaadi season. At its core, the campaign celebrates the simple idea that love feels complete only when the family, pets included, says yes.”
With this campaign, Supertails continues to celebrate the evolving culture of modern pet parenting in India.

Samosas, Tea, and Crime: Anirban Chakrabarti on what fuels detective Eken Babu’s cases on Sony SAB
Sony SAB is all set to introduce audiences to one of India’s most unique detectives with the Hindi debut of Eken Babu featuring the iconic performance by Anirban Chakrabarti. While Eken Babu’s genius lies in his laser-sharp focus and analytical skills, Anirban reveals that there’s a vital, and rather quirky, secret to the detective’s success: his food routine.
Anirban Chakrabarti shares that maintaining the detective’s high level of concentration requires him to be fueled with tasty dishes, making his eating habits a crucial, yet often overlooked, part of his process. Unlike modern day detectives, Eken Babu is not fueled by fancy coffees or dramatic power drinks, however, his brain craves Samosa. His love for food isn’t just about taste; it’s about a quick, satisfying break that allows him to pause his complex thoughts and reset his focus before tackling the next piece of evidence. Eken Babu must have at least three cups of perfectly brewed, strong tea during any long investigation. This routine forces a moment of quiet, during which his mind often connects previously unrelated clues. While on a case, Eken Babu often relies on classic Bengali comfort dishes. This helps ground the character in familiarity and stability while the world around him is steeped in chaos and mystery.
Speaking about his character’s love for food, Anirban Chakrabarti shared, “Eken Babu is intensely focused, but at the same time easily distracted. I realised that for his mind to work at that speed, he needs constant supply of food. I often joke that if Eken Babu skips a meal or afternoon snack, the case is guaranteed to stall! Snacking on samosas and tea isn’t a habit—it’s a crucial tool that helps him pause, reflect, and finally find the genius solution hidden in plain sight.”
This unique insight ensures that when viewers tune in to the Hindi version of ‘Eken Babu’ on Sony SAB, they are not just watching a detective solve a case; they are watching a fully realized, quirky character who proves that sometimes, the biggest clues can be found over a simple cup of tea.
