Society has for the longest time told us how to look, how to walk, how to eat, how to sit, how to dress – the works – you get what I’m saying. We’ve all been brought up with such false and farcical notions of beauty, that we’ve been engrained to think that’s the only way and everything else is ‘ugly’. Right from our obsession with fairness creams to the pressure put on boys to not emote – “Only girls cry”, they say. Thankfully, today’s generation is waking up and we’ve had influencers from all walks of life standing up and fighting these myths and norms – telling us that there’s nothing more important than self-love.

One such person is Bhumi Pednekar. Bhumi has had a very impressive and unconventional journey in Bollywood. She made her debut with Dum Laga Ke Haisha, where she played an overweight girl – something a lot of actresses would shy away from because of the enormous pressure put on them to look a certain way (read: skinny and dressed to perfection) at all times. She then went on to star in movies dealing with sanitation in India and erectile dysfunction – again, subjects you won’t see a lot of actors taking on. She broke stereotypes with her choices and has slowly gone on to become one of the most loved actresses because she doesn’t shy away from being herself, and has always been honest about the choices she makes. In fact, she has talked a lot about self-love and how everybody is special in their own way – you’re #NoOrdinaryBeauty she says.

Take a look at Bhumi’s journey, where she talks about her beliefs about being #NoOrdinaryBeauty.

Speaking of being unique, there’s another very unique thing on the market that isn’t ordinary at all – it’s the brand new Honor 9N!

Wondering what makes it so special? The smartphone is about beauty all around – both internal and external. With its top-notch display, it maximizes your visual experience from every corner to give you an amazing experience. It comes in two interesting new shades – Robin Egg Blue and Lavender Purple. I’m already a fan of these new colours and can’t wait to get my hands on them! As like all Honor phones, the 9N takes great photos with its impressive rear dual lens camera.

See… Bhumi agrees!

If you’re as excited as I am, here’s a fun fact: the Honor 9N will launch on the 31st of July and will be available on Flipkart!!

Continuing with Bhumi’s message, Kalki Koechlin and Rajkummar Rao also joined in.

And what’s impressive about these guys is that they haven’t had an ordinary journey at all – they’ve all made very bold choices and look where it landed them! 🙂 Only fitting they have the 9N, don’t you think?
