Saffola Honey has launched an enchanting new TV commercial starring the ever-charismatic Pankaj Tripathi. The campaign, with its light-hearted narrative and playful humor, promises to capture the essence of “Shuddha” honey—pure honey sourced from the lush and mystical Sundarbans, delivered conveniently to consumers.
The TVC, conceptualized by Mullen Lintas, begins in a typical grocery store where a customer, a woman in search of “Shuddha” honey, approaches Tripathi, who plays the role of a friendly shopkeeper. With his signature sparkle and humor, Pankaj Tripathi hands her a jar of Saffola Honey and says with a playful grin, “Shukar hai Saffola Honey hai, madam. Varnaa...” (Thankfully, there’s Saffola Honey, otherwise…). Instantly, the mundane setting transforms into a lush, vivid forest. The store’s walls give way to creeping vines and towering trees, as Tripathi humorously narrates the challenges of obtaining pure honey. He describes venturing deep into the Sundarbans, crossing the mighty Ganga River, and bravely dodging swarms of buzzing bees to find golden honey.

As the woman listens in awe, viewers are transported to a magical scene where honey drips slowly from a golden beehive, nestled amidst the vibrant greenery of the Sundarbans. The lush imagery captures the painstaking journey behind every jar of pure Saffola Honey. Just as quickly as it began, the fantasy fades, and the scene returns to the store. Tripathi brings the woman back to reality, reminding her with a smile, “Aap ko toh sirf humse maangna hai... Shuddha honey... Saffola Honey.” With that, he hands over the jar, and the magic of purity comes full circle.
Vaibhav Bhanchawat, Chief Operating Officer of Marico’s India and Foods Business, shared his enthusiasm about the campaign. “With Pankaj Tripathi’s presence, we were able to capture the essence of our brand in a delightful and engaging manner. His credibility and genuine charm reflect the purity and trustworthiness of Saffola Honey. We believe this campaign will strike a chord with consumers and strengthen their trust in Shuddha Honey—Saffola Honey.”
Pankaj Tripathi himself expressed his appreciation for the project. “For me, this TVC beautifully encapsulates the journey of sourcing pure honey, emphasizing the dedication and effort involved in ensuring its authenticity. It’s a light-hearted, delightful watch that perfectly reflects the brand’s commitment to offering the finest honey to its consumers,” he remarked.
Ram Cobain, Chief Creative Officer at Mullen Lintas, highlighted the unique approach of the campaign. “Traditionally, achieving purity of the highest order involves tremendous effort. Our take is a playful, cheeky twist on the serious ‘source’ story. While Saffola Honey comes from the distant and mythical Sundarbans, consumers only need to visit their nearest store to enjoy it,” Cobain explained.
The campaign is a blend of humor, charm, and nature’s beauty, effectively communicating Saffola Honey’s promise of purity and convenience. By combining Tripathi’s endearing presence with a journey into the heart of the Sundarbans, Saffola Honey invites viewers to appreciate the magic of nature’s bounty—now available at the convenience of a local shop.
