The rise of social media and rapid changes in the digital media landscape offer an unprecedented opportunity to engage mass audiences across media platforms to promote messages for positive social change and track their uptake through digital footprints (Lutkenhaus et al., 2019).

This report highlights the communication strategies, research methods, and major findings on the incorporation of markers related to sanitation, family planning, and gender equality in Main Kuch Bhi Kar Sakti Hoon Season 3 (MKBKSH-3) in India.
