MUMBAI, India, June 16, 2023 -- This Father's day, SBI Life's #PapaHaiNa digital property, appreciates and salutes every father who strives to rise above every challenge, never quits and serves as an inspiration to his child/ren. The unwavering commitment of fathers for taking everything in their stride with confidence and discipline serves as a great example to their kids. Today, fathers are not just providers but increasingly playing the role of enablers, especially as the kids grow up. This approach has allowed fathers to better understand the younger generation kids, support their aspirations, and provide a sense of security both emotionally & financially.

The digital film opens showcasing Ritika; a 15-year-old daughter, passionate about football, who suffers a knee injury during a match, undergoes surgery and rehabilitation. Despite her father, Deepak's concerns around the risks involved, she secretly resumes her training. Being protective as a father, the whole situation seems worrisome which leads to disagreement between the father daughter duo. Here, leveraging Artificial Intelligence, the film showcases Deepak's transformation from his late 40s to his late 20s, adding a visual element to the storytelling experience. The poignant scenes depict a younger Deepak taking every efforts towards his dreams. Through this, reverse human storytelling approach, Deepak's realization dawns upon him as he witnesses the mirror image of his own youthful commitment & determination reflected in his daughter. There is a realization, making him acknowledge that he too possessed the same love, dedication and unwavering spirit towards his passion, during his own youth. He reflects on his efforts to support his daughter and realizes the strong connection they share, built upon their shared love for the game and a never-give-up attitude. At the end, Deepak is seen embracing his role not only as a father but also as a coach, mentor to his daughter.

Speaking about the campaign, Mr. Ravindra Sharma, Chief of Brand, Corporate Communication & CSR, SBI Life, said, "Fathers have always been known for being the primary bread winners but over the period of time, their role has undergone phases of change.  In the journey of providing immense love with unwavering dedication, fathers today are seen someone who inspire their children to not only pursue their dreams but also drives them to never give up amidst life's challenges.
