Alia Bhatt x Chandni Bhabhda for L’Oréal: When Bollywood Meets Meme Culture

In a refreshing twist that’s equal parts iconic and internet-savvy, Bollywood star Alia Bhatt has teamed up with her viral impersonator Chandni Bhabhda for L’Oréal’s latest campaign. The ad spot for the new Infallible Skin Tint is more than a beauty drop—it’s a masterclass in marketing psychology and meme-age branding.

The Ad That Broke the Internet: The ad opens with Chandni mimicking Alia’s signature traits—her soft-spoken voice, her lipstick swipe, and that unmistakable giggle—all while applying L'Oréal’s Infallible Skin Tint. Sitting beside her, Alia watches, amused and unbothered. The two share a laugh that feels unfiltered and very social media-friendly.



The Marketing Brilliance: This is what makes the campaign genius. L’Oréal isn’t just banking on Alia’s celebrity clout—they’re plugging directly into internet culture. By inviting Chandni, a content creator known for impersonating Alia, the brand taps into fandom, parody, and relatability—without compromising on glam.

It’s also a bold statement from Alia Bhatt herself. It says, “I don’t take myself too seriously. I’m in on the joke.” That relatability? It humanizes a global beauty ambassador and deepens consumer trust.

Meme Marketing Meets Brand Authenticity: This campaign checks every box:

  • High relatability: Influencer collab ✅

  • Pop culture synergy: Internet mimicry meets mainstream celeb ✅

  • Emotional authenticity: Real laughter, real reactions ✅

  • Brand recall: “Infallible Skin Tint” is now cemented in meme territory ✅

    In the age of reels and retweets, where Gen Z demands more than polished perfection, Alia and Chandni serve the perfect mix of beauty, humor, and cultural fluency. This campaign doesn’t just sell skincare—it sells storytelling.
