Klook's ‘The Best You' campaign inspires personal transformation through travel, ft. Bharti Singh
, a platform for experiences and
travel
services, has unveiled its latest campaign, 'The Best You', a compelling invitation to rediscover joy, purpose, and personal connection through travel. Fronted by India's beloved 'Queen of Comedy,' Bharti Singh, the campaign reimagines travel as a deeply personal journey where spontaneity, self-discovery, and soulful moments take centre stage.
As a powerful extension of this campaign, Klook has partnered with the
Times Black ICICI Bank Credit Card
, an exclusive rare metal card for India's most discerning consumers, to offer cardholders curated international travel privileges and elite access to premium experiences. This strategic collaboration underscores Klook's commitment to elevating the way modern Indian travellers explore the world. Times Black cardholders will gain immediate access to several exclusive benefits through the Klook platform, including preferential pricing on experience bookings, priority access to sold-out attractions, and dedicated customer support.
More about 'The Best You'
Having navigated her fair share of challenges in the entertainment industry, Bharti has always lived life on her own terms. Her story is one of resilience and reinvention from breaking barriers as a female comedian to creating a home filled with love and laughter.
She added, 'Not many know the journey it took for me to find my place in this industry. Over the years, I've heard countless opinions about how I should live my life. But now, I want to pause, breathe, and do something just for me. Travel gives me that space to reconnect, to embrace the unknown, and to find joy in the little things that truly touch my heart.'
For someone who's spent her life making millions laugh, it's the simple, unfiltered moments that now bring Bharti the biggest smiles, a silly detour, a quiet night under the stars, the thrill of trying something for the first time. Because sometimes, the best laughter is the one that surprises even her.
Through this campaign, travel becomes her way of carving out time for herself, embracing joy, and finding inspiration in the unfamiliar one experience at a time.
'The Best You' campaign is more than just activities or things to do; it's about stealing those little moments from life that create unforgettable experiences. Shivam Tyagi, Marketing Lead, Klook India and Middle East, stated, 'It's a chance to rediscover more joy, more freedom, and most importantly, more of YOU. Today, more than ever, people are looking for something real, a break from routine, a sense of connection.'
He added, 'Travel isn't just about the places we visit, but the emotions we carry back with us: the laughter, the food, the people we meet, and the stories we create along the way. That's what we aim to bring to life with 'The Best You', not just great itineraries, but meaningful experiences that stay with you.'
Both organisations anticipate that the partnership will drive significant engagement among Times Black's exclusive cardholder base, while expanding Klook's presence in India's luxury travel segment. The collaboration includes plans for future enhancements such as exclusive event access, limited-edition experience packages, and expanded geographic coverage across emerging destinations.

I travel by public transport, and here's why I swear by the OnePlus Buds 4
When I was in New York last week, I took the subway to travel from Brooklyn to Manhattan. The week before that, I was in London and used the Tube to get around the city. Back in Delhi, where I am based, I travel by Delhi Metro, auto, or local bus. Public transportation is a part of my everyday life. While I can drive a car, I prefer the anxiety-free experience that public transport offers and I am glad I am not in the driver's seat in a city like Delhi. It allows me to explore the city through my own eyes and find time to read a book with my earbuds plugged in. However, as a city boy, I can't completely escape the hustle and bustle and one device that's been traveling with me everywhere (including long-haul flights) is the OnePlus Buds 4. They have quite literally saved me from loud conversations on the Delhi Metro, noisy roads of New York, and the constant chatter in Indian restaurants in London. It's the one device I have found most helpful during my travels over the past few days, thanks to its suppressive active noise cancellation, lightweight fit, and superb sound quality, all for Rs 5,999. What: OnePlus Buds 4| Price: Rs 5,999 The Buds 4 themselves have an AirPods Pro-like feel to them. While they are made of plastic, they have a premium look. The Buds come in two colours: Storm Grey and Zen Green. I received the latter for review, and they look especially sleek in the summer, particularly the case. The charging case has a pebble-like shape, measuring 6.54 × 5.24 × 2.53 cm and weighing 39.5 grams. One often overlooked but impressive feature of the case is its strong magnetic connection. The magnets are incredibly powerful, keeping the earbuds securely locked into the charging dock, so how hard you shake it, the connection remains intact and charging continues. The buds come with an IP55 rating, meaning they can withstand splashes and bursts of water, making them well-suited for the monsoon season. Having an IP rating gives more confidence to wear them in rain, or if you are sweaty as I am during running in the morning. The Buds 4 have a familiar fit, similar to the Buds 3 Pro. They are also quite comfortable. They sit securely in my ears. I never felt them slipping during any of my runs, and they passed my head shake test with no movement. I am not a huge fan of touch controls on earbuds. I prefer physical buttons instead. That being said, I know a lot of people like touch controls for some reason. Anyway, the touch controls on the Buds 4 were responsive and unobtrusive. They use 'squeezy' stems for playback controls and allow you to adjust the volume by brushing your finger up or down the stem. Typically, true wireless earbuds in this price segment fail to excite me. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the Buds 4. While they don't come close to the AirPods Pro 2 or the Sony WF-1000XM5, the Buds 4 definitely hold their ground. They offer a rounded sound, not flat, as many earbuds in this price range tend to be. The Buds 4 sound full, rich, and generally well-balanced, thanks to a new coaxial dual-driver system: essentially, a large 11mm woofer for the rumbly lows and a separate 6mm tweeter for the highs. Listening to Coldplay's Viva La Vida, I could clearly hear the instruments; the vocals were clear and moving, and the overall sound carried a nostalgic hue without compromising cohesiveness. The Buds 4 were equally impressive while playing Kanye West's Flashing Lights, a complicated track, yet I didn't notice any major distortion or blowouts. Clarity can suffer slightly at higher volumes, though. While the bass isn't the most powerful, it holds up well. As I listened to French Montana's Unforgettable, the earbuds delivered clear bass and maintained detail and clarity as the track grew in complexity. There's also a spatial audio feature supported on the Buds 4. Simply put, spatial audio creates a surround-sound listening experience, making it feel like the music is coming at you from all angles, much like in a high-quality movie theater or concert hall. It's not particularly great for music, but it works well for movies. These buds also support streaming high-resolution audio via the Hi-Res Audio Wireless standard, using the LHDC 5.0 Bluetooth codec, and offer a sampling rate of 192kHz. However, the high-res audio feature doesn't work on the iPhone 16 Pro, which is my primary device at the moment. The feature is supported on premium Android smartphones, though. Matching the upgraded sound quality is the noise cancellation. As someone who commutes via public transport on a weekly, sometimes daily basis, having earbuds with a decent level of active noise cancellation (ANC) is a must. In fact, while listening to music on New York's subway, I was able to completely drown out the ambient noise and immerse myself so deeply that I missed my stop. There's no noticeable degradation in sound quality or noise cancellation performance, exactly what you want from a pair of daily driver earbuds. They work great in offices, cafés, and open public spaces too. The transparency mode does its job well, especially in an open-plan office. These types of offices can get quite loud by noon, when more people arrive and everyone's on calls or chatting. That's when the Buds 4's transparency mode comes to the rescue as it adjusts the level automatically based on the surrounding noise conditions. The Buds 4 sound incredibly clear, especially when on calls or when listening to podcasts or audiobooks, something I do a lot while travelling. Battery life is outstanding, too. They have a battery life of up to 11 hours with ANC turned off. The case itself holds quite a bit of charge, offering up to 45 hours of listening time, which drops to 24 hours with ANC enabled. The Buds 4 are fun to use and quite likable. They are lightweight and compact, yet they don't skimp on features or performance. They feel like a cross between premium and budget wireless earbuds.

‘Gave a hit with a super-duper flop actor Amitabh Bachchan': Javed Akhtar says he, Salim Khan had no work for 9 months after delivering 4 hits
Veteran screenwriter and lyricist Javed Akhtar, long known for championing the rights of writers in the Indian film industry, recently spoke about the decades-long struggle for recognition and fair compensation. In a candid conversation with filmmaker and screenwriter Anu Singh Choudhary for JLF International, Javed reflected on the systemic challenges writers have faced and the ongoing need to fight for their due. 'You see, situations have never been ideal for people. They have fought for it,' he said. 'You know, when we came into the film industry, writers were never mentioned on posters or banners. They were very poorly paid. There was no credit, no money. We fought. One after another, we gave films which were very good, and then we fought.' He recounted the early years of his career with his writing partner Salim Khan, when the duo, known as Salim-Javed, changed the landscape of Hindi cinema. 'We said, 'No, these are our terms and conditions. If you cannot pay us that much, if you cannot accept our terms and conditions, we will not work.' We fought. Maybe it is not very easy for everybody to fight the way we did, but at least, as a group, as a whole community of writers, you can stand up and say, 'That much, and no more.' Nobody will give you anything on a platter. Nobody gave us anything on a platter. We fought for it.' Reflecting on his breakthrough years, Akhtar recalled, 'You know, our first film was Andaz. Second was Haathi Mere Saathi. Third was Seeta Aur Geeta. Fourth was Zanjeer, a super-duper hit film with a super-duper flop actor. Yes. We decided that now, enough is enough. We had given four hits in a row.' He elaborated on how they took a risk by casting Amitabh Bachchan, then considered an unlucky actor, as the lead in Zanjeer, a film that went on to become a blockbuster and redefine Bachchan's career. 'Zanjeer was a major hit. He gave a great performance. But he always gave great performances, even in those films which didn't run. He was good. That's why we took him. We were not even liking him. We could see that he was a volcano of talent, just not getting good scripts.' Also Read | Javed Akhtar recalls Yash Chopra, 'messiah of the poor' Mahesh Bhatt opposing Copyright Act aimed at ending exploitation of creatives; says producers boycotted him Despite their success, getting paid what they deserved was still an uphill battle. 'So we decided that we will take X amount. I remember the amount. But I also remember, in the subject department… After four hit films, for nine months we could not sign a single film, because nobody was willing to pay. They would laugh in my face. 'Kitna bola?'' He recalled the financial strain during that period: 'I had bought a second-hand Ambassador for ₹13,000. That was sold again, because there was no work. But after nine months, we took that price. Again, we decided on a price. And we fought to get it. So, nothing comes easily. Don't complain. Situations have never been ideal for anybody.' Javed emphasized the need for collective action among writers, urging those in a position of influence to stand up for industry-wide change. 'If a few people think that something is wrong, ten of you, fifteen of you, stand up. You're a successful writer. You're not just anybody. You're successful. People like you. You will find some more people like you. Stand up. Say, 'We will not take this nonsense.' Some people will throw you out. That is for sure. Go through it. But if you think that someday all the filmmakers will stand up with a chained heart and give you what you deserve, it will never happen.' During the 1970s, Salim-Javed wrote as many as 24 films, 22 of which were blockbusters. Their influence extended far beyond iconic dialogues and unforgettable characters. They were pioneers who demanded better terms, challenged the status quo, and helped lay the groundwork for future generations of writers in Bollywood.
