Additionally, Marathi actor Prajakta Mali has been onboarded to represent the festival to the audience in Maharashtra.
Saiyam Mehra, Chairman, GJC, said, “We are very excited to welcome Shruti and Prajakta into the IJSF family. Both of them are not only style icons but also an inspiration to their fans. Their popularity will go a long way in spreading the word about IJSF among jewellery enthusiasts.

We want to promote ‘Jewellery Tourism’ in India through IJSF.”
Commenting on the high-profile developments, Rajesh Rokde, Vice Chairman, GJC, said, “IJSF is delighted to collaborate with Shruti Hassan and Prajakta Mali as our brand ambassadors. Both Shruti and Prajakta represent the quintessential woman of today, who is modern and yet, values our traditions and customs.
