Riva Bubber

Remember the predicament of a diva with wet Mehendi design on her hands to have a bite of Cadbury Dairy Milk bar? She is none other than Riva Bubber, the favorite bahu of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Cadbury’s Mehendi (henna) commercial is one of the most memorable and favorite Indian ads of the chocolate brand.

DD Days!

Did you know that hoarseness in the throat is caused by this little khich khich monster who loves to play in there? 😉 Let’s go back to the golden olden Black &White Tube Doordarshan days when branding was a bit easier compared to today; ads were simple, and things like clear USP, needs vs. wants, and brand image loyalty existed. No sci-fi graphics or 100s of eye-grabbing prime times, no star-studded endorsements or crores of […]

Shweta Tiwari

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when I say Shweta Tiwari? A sexy successful bahu (daughter-in-law) on Indian television? Western-style reality shows? Controversies? Or the ₹1 crore cash prize she won in the 4th season of Bigg Boss??! Well, for me, it’s her Lijjat Papad TVC. 😉 Shri Mahila Griha Udyog Lijjat Papad is famous for its nostalgic ‘Bunny Puppet’ created by ventriloquist Ramdas Padhye, and its evergreen karram kurram… kurram […]

Nimrat Kaur

We are talking of her good looks, cute and mature expressions in the new Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk Traffic Jam commercial today but, Nimrat Kaur has been a very regular face on TV and print advertisements from a very long time. The first ad I remember of her is the Maruti Suzuki WagonR – Star Interview TVC (aired in some 2007). She was […]

Clio Baran

Let us talk about the Airtel 3G – Endless Goodbye tv commercial today. The ad portrays a couple who stay always connected in the world of Airtel, when everything tries to tear them apart. Remember? The silent ad film has a very heartening story and does not actually require any rescript. Thumbs up to advertising! Now, who is the pretty girl featured in the ad??? There […]

Amyra Dastur

I’ve been a huge fan of Amy Dastur (introduced as Amyra Dastur through Issaq – 2013) since I first saw her in the Clean & Clear Facewash campaign, some 2 years ago. She plays the role of a close buddy to Pooja Salvi in the advert. In another Airtel Friends ad, a simple glimpse of Amyra in the song (girl self-posing for her phone camera) elevates the mood of […]

Kriti Sanon – Journey of a starlet to fame and glory

Words like young, sleek, confident, and star-esque visage are insufficient to aptly describe Kriti Sanon‘s endearing screen and ramp presence. The 5’10” tall diva, fashion model, is soon to be a star. A movie star! 😀 Kriti is currently shooting for Prince Mahesh Babu  starrer 1…Nenokkadine (Telugu movie by the ace director Sukumar), where she played a journalist. (That’s surely a remarkable debut, […]

Ishita Sharma

Did the cute dancer in Parachute Advansed Body Lotion ad leave you in awe? The beautiful diva playing wife and mesmerizing over 250 million South Indian population her hubby in the TVC is Ishita Sharma. (Not to confuse this Ishita with the Pyaar Ka Punchnama starrer) May be you haven’t seen the multi-talented actress as the ad is aired only in the South… Have you watched her urban attitude […]

That actress in your favorite ads: Mahima Mehta

Who is the girl with Anjala Zaveri in reddish-purple top in Everest Masala ad? Who is the model in Labonito ad with R. Madhavan? Who is the mom in pink with a beautiful smile in Colgate Dental Cream commercial? What is the name of the beauty in blue dress in…. Imagine the kind of search engine keyword strings that Indian Ad Divas attracts! I understand how annoying […]
