Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) is back with a much-awaited Deepavali film, offering audiences a heartwarming celebration of tradition, love and light.

“Arulini, Shining Star” features the true story of A.Arulini, who recently found success at international singing competitions. Coupled with an inspirational backstory and bubbly personality, it's no surprise that Arulini has quickly captured the hearts of many.

This film explores the journey she took to achieve her dreams of becoming a singer and how her mother, Dr R. Khasturi has been there every step of the way.

The Thirukkural, a classic Tamil text written by the poet Thiruvalluvar, consisting of 1,330 couplets, serves as a foundation both in the film and in Arulini’s real life. It provides timeless wisdom on ethics, morality and practical life. A teacher by profession, Dr Khasturi has instilled these teachings in her daughter from a young age. Whenever Arulini faces hardship in the film, her mother shares a couplet from the text to help her see the brighter side of life.

A fitting theme to a festive season that celebrates overcoming adversity and darkness.

At TNB, the belief in brightening lives through hope and perseverance is central to their vision. Just as Arulini’s journey was illuminated by the love and guidance of her mother, TNB strives to foster a brighter, more sustainable future for all, by empowering individuals and supporting the paths they choose to take.

In this film, we are taken through Arulini’s childhood via flashbacks from her mother. Through every hardship, Dr Khasturi has always been there to offer sage advice, mostly through the Thirukkural, which extols the wisdom of living a virtuous life.

Along the way, family members and friends lend a hand in showing Arulini that going after her dreams shines brightest in the company of the people who love her.

Jero, TNB's beloved house cat, is not forgotten either, as he pitches in to steal a lighthearted scene.

This four-minute film stars the actual Arulini Arumugam and Dr. Khasturi Ramalingam and is aired on TNB’s YouTube TENAGAofficial and TNB's social media channels.

This Deepavali, TNB hopes that everyone fills their home with light and love. Because a life filled with love is the greatest joy and the purest form of happiness.
