One of the most successful and popular names in the Tamil television industry, KS Suchitra shared how she plans on celebrating Pongal this year and why is it so close to her heart.
Speaking about the festival, Suchitra said, “This time around I’m going to be celebrating Pongal with my family and if I have to pick one reason why I like this festival then I would say that it is because we celebrate it to honour our farmers.”
She also added how her family follows rituals passed down from generations during this time. “I prefer tried and tested home remedies that have been followed since generations, similar to how our grandmothers would advocate the use of ingredients like chickpea flour and neem. This gives a wonderful glow to the skin.”
On the work front, Suchitra has recently partnered with popular skin care soap brand Cinthol Original for a TV commercial campaign. She along with Baakiyalakshmi co-star Divya Ganesh are featured in a TVC together for Cinthol Original’s special Pongal soap. In the TVC, the actors are seen sharing candid moments while preparing for the festivities. It encapsulates the essence of Pongal and highlights how Cinthol has become a part of the Pongal ritual with families using it since generations.
The film concludes with the on-screen mother-daughter duo placing their trust in Cinthol for their protection while going about Pongal preparations fearlessly. Over the years, Cinthol Original has been an integral part of every Pongal celebration in every Tamil household, as it helps protect the skin from heat, dust and pollution.
On her association with the brand Cinthol Original, Suchitra mentioned how it is such a well-known family-centric brand in the country.
