Amul bids adieu to India's 'Big Bull' Rakesh Jhunjhunwala with a monochromatic creative

Ace stock market investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala's sudden demise has left the entire nation mourning.

On Tuesday evening, dairy giant Amul honoured the legendary 'big bull of India' with a heartwarming creative. "Apne bal se bulland bana (self-made)," the creative read.

In the creative, Jhunjhunwala could be seen waving from his work desk next to a happy bull.



The late 62-year-old, who was a promoter of the recently-launched Akasa Air, passed away on Sunday morning (August 14) due to a cardiac arrest.

Jhunjhunwala was brought dead at the city's Breach Candy hospital. He was suffering from kidney and ischemic heart diseases, and the hospital declared cardiac arrest as the cause of death.

Jhunjhunwala grew up in Mumbai. He enrolled at the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India after completing his graduation from Sydenham College in 1985. The self-made trader, investor and businessman was also known as the 'Big Bull' of Dalal Street.

With an estimated net worth of around $5.8 billion (about Rs 46,000 crore), Jhunjhunwala was the 36th richest billionaire in India, according to Forbes's 2021 listing.

The dairy brand's famous creatives have become a part of everyone's lives. From late singers Lata Mangeshkar and Bappi Lahiri to singer-actress Olivia Newton-John and former Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Amul has never missed a chance to honour the people whose sudden death left a void in our lives.

Besides obituary posts, Amul also celebrates big events such as the Commonwealth Games victory, celeb weddings, and President Droupadi Murmu's electoral win, among other things.
