The campaign urges society to free themselves of these inhibitions and make women feel more comfortable and confident while talking about the subject.

The digital film of the insurance aggregator is based on a heart-warming story of a street violinist in Kolkata who once used to play in popular cafes.

The shocked violin player runs across the road, in despair. It is a sad moment as he looks at his shattered violin. That is when a surprising twist happens and takes the viewer on a journey where the protagonist is overwhelmed with the support he receives from the people around him. The story has many layers which capture the essence of Independence Day. The film shows people coming together to help the protagonist, thereby, conveying India’s strength lies in its diversity.
