Launch Event of ShoaibMalikbyTrulyKomal
The Red Carpet was all lit up, a modest media wall placed amidst two very creative photo booths. One of which reminded me of a magazine cover, while the other resembled a boat on a sunny day! I must say, they looked tempting, and I am quite sure the queue waiting patiently for their turn for a picture would have agreed!
A very well coordinated, team TrulyKomal was spotted, ensuring that the launch event went smooth and the guests were well looked after.
A few steps ahead was the stage, and overseeing the stage were the seating arrangements, placed neatly, 5 feet apart. The masks were out, and they had more, for anyone who had forgotten to bring their own.
The grand launch of ShoaibMalikbyTrulyKomal took place at Port Grand Karachi on the 13th of February.
Hosted by famous actor Mr Ali Ansari and attended by Komal Rizvi and Shoaib Malik, this event was one of the most happening events we have attended in a long time! Amongst the invitees were some of the renowned actors, cricketers and influencers of Pakistan. Some major News and radio channels were also spotted there. These included representatives from Geo news, Hum, AAj TV, Samma, Dunia, Express, 24 news. Amongst the leading radio channels were FM 89, Suno FM 89.4 and FM 106.
Actor, Singer and CEO of TrulyKomal , Komal Rizvi : We first got a chance to speak to skin care expert and supporter of local products, Miss Komal Rizvi! We asked her what motivated her to take out a hair and skin range exclusively for men! She gave us one of her heart melting smiles and said “Why Not?” She continued by explaining that men are also entitled to pampering and self care! She further added that we, as women, deserve good looking men too. She told us that the skin and hair care range of ShoaibMalikbyTrulyKomal consists of very effective ingredients that were formulated to groom the Pakistani man; she further ensured that the products are very affordable so that more and more people can buy and use them.
COO TrulyKomal Saad Khan: Saad Khan, is one of the very few men we know who believe in looking good and presenting the best version of oneself. When asked why he started this venture, he said that over his ten years of experience in skincare and cosmetics, he had always noticed that the industry lacked affordable skin and hair care products for men. Being one of those men, who always like to stay groomed, he had always been on the lookout for basic skin care products, but was mostly disappointed to see that they are not available here. “Most of the time, the Pakistani man has to settle for women’s skin and hair care products!” he complained. He further added that he had priced the products such that they could be afforded by the masses. He also added that all his products were tested and he himself had tried them. His favorite product, he told us, was the Charcoal Face wash.
Cricketer and Brand ambassador, Mr Shoaib Malik: One of the very few good looking sportsmen we know, the first question we asked him was obviously how he managed to keep his hair and skin on point. He gave us a one word answer, “SELFCARE!” He started with telling us how excited he was about launching a skin care range for men. As with all sportsmen, he said that, his skin was also in constant threat to sun and environmental damage. He further added that this was the case with all men who work or play outdoors. He therefore felt the need to have an exclusive product line which specially focused on hair and skincare for men that was affordable too. He urged all the Pakistani men to take care of their skin and look good!
CEO of BBPR and Brother to Komal Rizvi, Mr Hasan Rizvi: Hasan stressed on the need for hygiene for men. He told us how important it is for the present man to take care of himself in order to look clean and presentable. He stressed on how the Covid situation was a threat to the health of people who did not believe in personal hygiene. He ended by expressing his confidence in the product line and told us that he was expecting an amazing response!
Shahnaz Ramzi, CEO of StarLinks PR: She told us that she has always been a fan of TrulyKomal products. She continued with how she admired the professionalism of CEOs Komal Rizvi and Saad Khan. She also added that she had great expectations about this new product line.
Mr Rizvi: He started with how proud he was about his daughter, and how much he valued working women. He continued with explaining how hard Komal had worked on the project and how important this project was to her.
Ali Ansari: The host of the launch event was really excited about the new exclusive product range only for men and was really confident in the success of their products. He said that he was looking forward to try out the products and will give us a feedback soon.
