Mumbai: Patriotic fervour was at its peak as India celebrated its 78th Independence Day this Friday. Joining the spirit, Colors Kannada, known for its commitment to nonstop entertainment, hosted ‘Colorful Independence Day celebrations’ across the state as part of its Namma Desha, Namma Hemme (Our Country, Our Pride) campaign.
Television stars like Rithvik Krupakar, Tanvi Rao, Spandana Somanna, Sushma Naanaiah, Mouna Guddemane, Chandraprabha and others participated in Independence Day celebrations at schools across 31 districts, adding a special touch to the initiative. This marked a historic milestone as it was the first time a television channel had taken such a huge step in celebrating Independence Day on such a grand scale.
Colors Kannada’s distinctive Independence Day celebrations not only captured the patriotic spirit but also deepened the channel’s bond with its audience. Covering 31 districts across Karnataka, Colors Kannada set a new benchmark as a homegrown brand by sending its artists—each hailing from their respective district to participate in the local flag-hoisting ceremonies.
These artists, deeply connected to their roots, embodied Colors Kannada’s dedication to connecting with the people and celebrating national identity. Following the flag hoisting, our artists visited renowned temples to promote the "Maharshi Darshana" program and savoured local cuisine at popular eateries to promote the “SaviRuchi” program. Exclusive videos from these visits will be featured in our shows, offering our viewers an extra special experience.
Colors Kannada business head Prashanth Nayak shared his excitement on the initiative: "As a brand, we launched the ‘Namma Desha, Namma Hemme’ campaign, the first of its kind, to celebrate Independence Day. We believe not just in entertaining our audience but also in upholding the nation’s integrity.”
Viacom18 cluster head – Kannada Sushma Rajesh said, “Colors Kannada has a reputation for launching unique campaigns that go beyond content, extending brand outreach as well. We are extremely proud of this unique initiative, a milestone for any GEC across the country. As a brand, we take pride not only in delivering fresh entertaining content but also in showing our commitment to the nation.”
