Gillette Venus and Kajal Aggarwal come together to debunk Shaving Myths


It was an enthralling afternoon as the very talented actor Kajal Aggarwal along with Venus beauty expert and celebrity make-up artist Namrata Soni and renowned aesthetic physician Dr. Rashmi Shetty came together to educate women on shaving and debunk myths that surround shaving. The panelists shared their experience and enlightened women with useful tips, techniques and benefits of shaving. At this unique panel discussion by Gillette Venus, all three panelists vouched for shaving as the most hassle free and painless method of female hair removal. As part of this discussion, Kajal also revealed her beauty secrets and inspired women to enjoy the freedom of choice with the convenience of grooming products like the Venus razors.

Speaking on the Gillette Venus Panel Discussion, Mr. Karthik Srivatsan, Country Marketing Manager, Gillette India said, “Gillette Venus aims to bring to the market quality products that are designed for women, which make their hair removal experience completely convenient and hassle-free. Through this panel discussion we seek to educate women on hair removal, debunk the myths that exist around shaving and inspire them to choose a safe solution for their beauty regime.”
Speaking about Gillette Venus, Kajal Aggarwal said, “Shaving has always been my preferred method of hair removal not only because it is convenient but it is also skin friendly and safe. I think most women are not educated on the right technique of shaving and hence believe the myths that surround shaving. I’m glad to be a part of this event for an iconic brand like Gillette Venus to encourage women to make informed choices and not be a victim of these myths.”

Sharing her experience from the Gillette Venus Panel Discussion, Aesthetic Physician, Dr. Rashmi Shetty said, “I am pleased to a part of this educative session where I can interact with the audience and break the myths around shaving for women. Contrary to the belief, shaving is actually one of the widely recommended methods of hair removal for women. The belief that shaving leads to darker skin or thicker hair growth is completely false. Hair growth is determined by the genetic and hormonal makeup of a person and has nothing to do with the hair removal method you adopt.”
Commenting on the session, Venus Beauty Expert and Celebrity Make-Up Artist, Namrata Soni said, “Shaving helps in maintaining the health of the skin by keeping it soft and smooth. Many of us are not aware that shaving actually helps exfoliate the skin. As a matter of fact, shaving must become a part of every woman’s regular beauty regime with advanced products like the Gillette Venus razors that not only give the ease and convenience of shaving, but also enhance the experience.”
