In a bold move to celebrate the singles in the country, Eloelo, a homegrown live social media app, has launched an anti-Valentine’s campaign in collaboration with Big Boss Fame, Abhishek Malhan, popularly known as Fukra Insaan. The company has taken a step further by filing a nationwide petition on change.org, urging the public to support the initiative to rename Valentine’s Day to #KunwaraDiwas.
The Backstory of the #KunwaraDiwas Campaign
Saurabh Pandey, Founder & CEO of Eloelo, said, “We saw a barrage of comments and clips online by the new age Indians expressing annoyance and distress with Valentine’s Day. Singles have been calling out for their own day and celebration amidst all the noise around Couples on Valentine’s Day. We at Eloelo decided to stand by all ‘Kunwaras’ this Valentine’s and to demand for their equal rights, we have started a petition on change.org to rename Valentine’s Day to #KunwaraDiwas.”
Abhishek Malhan’s Role
Eloelo strategically partnered with Abhishek Malhan, leveraging his popularity and influential reach to voice the callout for renaming Valentine’s Day. Abhishek, known for his humor and relatability, expressed his feelings on X(twitter) in his inimitable style.
Commenting on the association with Eloelo, Abhishek Malhan said, “ I have always advocated for love and laughter and I strongly believe nobody should feel left out on Valentine’s Day! Being single isn’t a curse, it’s a comedy of errors, and we should celebrate this day for being single also. I’m really excited to partner Eloelo and launch the petition to rename Valentine’s Day to #Kunawara Diwas.”
