Salman Khan Urges “Rest” in New Bahamas Stress-Busting Campaign
Salman Khan fronts the Bahamas Tourism Board’s “Do Rest” campaign, showcasing island serenity and playful reprieves to combat India’s nonstop work culture.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has partnered with the Bahamas Tourism Board for a vibrant new campaign, “Stress Ko Do Rest,” designed to encourage overworked Indians to take genuine time off. Shot across crystal-blue beaches, swaying palm groves, and secluded cays, the film pairs Salman’s signature charm with the islands’ laid-back vibe, sending a clear message: real rest awaits beyond your inbox.
From Mumbai Hustle to Island Tranquillity
The ad opens with Salman checking email threads in a crowded Mumbai café. Tension mounts: phone buzzing, deadlines looming. Suddenly, a text arrives: “Escape to the Bahamas.” We cut to Salman diving off a boat into turquoise waters, immediately trading stress lines for sunlit smiles.
Playful Reprieves for Every Personality
“Do Rest” highlights three island experiences:
-
Adventure Rest: Jet-skiing in Nassau followed by hammock naps.
-
Cultural Rest: Junkanoo dance lessons in vibrant street carnivals.
-
Wellness Rest: Sunrise yoga atop pink-sand shores.
Salman narrates that rest isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s about finding what truly recharges you.
Digital Engagement: #StressKoDoRest Challenge
On Instagram, fans share their most unusual resting moments, mini-breaks in elevators, impromptu dance breaks at work, for a chance to win an all-expenses-paid Bahamas trip with Salman himself. A dedicated microsite pairs personality quizzes (“What Kind of Rest Do You Need?”) with custom island itineraries.
Beyond the Screen
Airports in Delhi and Mumbai will feature “Rest Zones” modelled after Bahamian beach huts, complete with sand floors, seashell decor, and VR headsets offering immersive island tours. These pop-up experiences let busy travellers sample Bahamas tranquillity before boarding their flight.
Final Thoughts
Salman Khan’s “Stress Ko Do Rest” campaign is more than a tourism plug, it’s a cultural wake-up call. By blending star power with immersive island storytelling and interactive fan challenges, the Bahamas positions itself as the ultimate antidote to India’s relentless grind, where pressing “pause” is as refreshing as pressing play on paradise.
