Healthy snacking brand Farmley has launched a new digital campaign for its premium dessert range, Date Bites, featuring actor Aparshakti Khurana. Built around the central thought – The Dessert That Loves You Back – the campaign uses situational humour to challenge conventional perceptions around indulgence, positioning Date Bites as a naturally sweet, mindful alternative for today’s snack-conscious consumer.

The ad film is set aboard a flight, where Aparshakti finds himself on the receiving end of what appears to be enthusiastic fan attention. He obliges graciously – selfie, autograph, an impromptu musical moment – before the twist lands: the passenger’s excitement was never for him, but for the canister of Farmley Date Bites he was carrying. The comedic reveal closes with a shared snacking moment, neatly reinforcing the brand’s core promise of a dessert that feels both satisfying and considered.
The campaign has been rolled out across Instagram, YouTube, and OTT platforms. The collaborative reel has already crossed 356K views on Instagram, reflecting strong early traction among digital audiences.
Aman Gupta, head of marketing at Farmley, noted that snacking preferences are evolving rapidly, with consumers increasingly seeking products that balance taste with mindfulness. He added that Aparshakti Khurana’s effortless comic timing helped translate that shift into a narrative that feels genuinely relatable rather than prescriptive.
The campaign forms part of Farmley’s broader push to consolidate its presence across the mindful snacking and functional foods categories.
