De Beers Group Celebrates the Natural Father-Daughter Bond with Pankaj Tripathi and Aashi

A unique initiative for customers across 50 stores this Father's Day

MUMBAI, India, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- De Beers Group is marking Father's Day this year with a deeply personal addition to its 'Love, From Dad' campaign. The campaign features a collaboration with acclaimed actor Pankaj Tripathi and his daughter, Aashi, for a special film that highlights the evolving relationship between fathers and daughters a bond built on trust, encouragement, and unconditional support.

Centered on the second ear piercing as a meaningful moment of self-expression and growing independence, the film brings to life the quiet emotions that define the father-daughter relationship at its most authentic. Set against the unhurried beauty of a beach, footprints in the sand carry the weight of time passed and a bond deepened. The film captures a realisation familiar to every father, that the daughter who once followed closely in his footsteps is now confidently stepping ahead and forging her own path. It is at this moment of quiet, proud acknowledgement that a natural diamond becomes more than a gift. It becomes a father's way of saying, I see you, I trust you, and I am proud of who you are becoming.

To bring this narrative to life for consumers across India, De Beers Group has launched an extensive retail activation across 50 select retail stores nationwide. In key cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Lucknow and Nagpur, dads & daughters can participate in a unique, memory-led retail experience ensuring that every customer leaves with a sweet, permanent memory of their bond where they click unique photographs with renowned photographers in these select stores to mark the moment over the fathers' day weekend (20^th -21^st June, 2026).

The second ear piercing, unlike the first, which is guided by tradition, is a young woman's personal choice. It marks her growing sense of individuality and self-expression. Through 'Love, From Dad,' De Beers positions the natural diamond as the most meaningful way for a father to honour this milestone, connecting the enduring qualities of a natural diamond, its rarity, resilience, and permanence to the enduring strength of the father-daughter bond.

Toranj Mehta, Country Head – Category Marketing, De Beers India, said, "Natural diamonds have always anchored life's rarest moments and this Father's Day we are celebrating the second piercing as a pivotal milestone of a daughter's independence. By partnering with Pankaj Tripathi and Aashi, we are celebrating a bond built on authenticity and rarity. We are also excited to extend this narrative through interactive activations in over 50 stores across India, allowing families to engage with the campaign, discover natural diamond jewellery firsthand, and take back a cherished memory of their own."

For Pankaj Tripathi, the collaboration was deeply personal. Known for his grounded persona, he shared, "As a father, some of the most emotional moments are when you realize your child is becoming her own person and making her own choices. The second piercing represents that moment of confidence. What resonated with me about this story is how a simple gesture can become a lifelong memory. Sharing this experience with my daughter, Aashi, made it very special. A natural diamond, like a father's love, stays with you unchanged through every chapter of life."

The Father's Day video segment will be shared across De Beers Group's digital and social media platforms, inviting families across India to celebrate the milestones that outlast trends. Through this collaboration, De Beers continues to place natural diamonds at the heart of life's most meaningful connections.
