The powerful new Nike ad featuring inspiring Indian sportswomen and Deepika Padukone is an ode to the unstoppable girl power that will give you the right motivation to go, Da Da Ding.
“Sport has taught me how to survive! It has taught me how to fight! It has made me unstoppable!”
These are the inspiring words of ace actor Deepika Padukone in the new Nike ad that will give you an instant pump of Adrenaline rush. Deepika Padukone is one actor who has never shied away from accepting her weaknesses, fighting them, touching the lowest point, picking herself up and bolting past the checkered flag.
Deepika’s long battle with depression is no news to us. Also, before films happened, Deepika had been a national level Badminton champion. In the latest advertisement for Nike, Deepika reveals how her father’s teachings and being an active sportsperson herself helped her to fight the silent killer.
The empowering video shows women playing sports in each and every frame. From squash player Joshna Chinappa, to hockey player Rani Rampal; from cricketers Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandana and Shubhlakshi Sharma to footballer Jyoti Ann Burrett, each frame captures the fierce, passionate, and inspiring women athletes as they are. The video doesn’t sexualize women and leaves a strong legacy for other brands to follow – focus on the spirit of the athletes, their power, their coming together, and not their legs and butts.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
