I miss the olden days! Remember coming back home from school in a bus, an auto or a van with your friends, jumping on the bed with your Action shoes on, switching on the TV while mom warmed the food and helped you change the school uniform? In school days, Cartoon Network, Star Plus and Doordarshan were my favourites because they would play shows like Dexter’s Laboratory, Son Pari and Malgudi Days while I had my meal. Don’t even get me started on that Complan ad, I loved it! I could never imagine, this chocolaty Complan boy aka Shahid Kapoor would ever do an intense movie like Haider. Are you feeling nostalgic already?! I don’t blame you, those days were the best, the shows were so interesting and those ads between the shows never irritated me, they were so convincing that I am still transported back to my childhood after watching them.
Wanna take a ride back in time?! Let’s start with these cult desi ads.
1. This boy was the Action Jackson of our time! Everyone had those shoes…
2. Preity Zinta made Perk everyone’s favourite chocolate!
3. And then, of course, the time when Shahid Kapoor and Ayesha Takia were Complan kids and we didn’t even know!
4. This unimpressed Sardar boy won us over with his cuteness in this Dhara ad. God, I would have never left my home if I got jalebis every day… just kidding!
5. This is how our obsession with the 2-minutes Maggi!
6. Probably the only ad that dared to put the names, Jaya and Rekha next to each other!
7. Don’t care about the toothpaste, he’s the best husband ever!
8. From Close-up girl to Rani Padmavati, Deepika at her cutest!
9. When Mr Perfectionist preached us ‘thanda matlab Coca-Cola’!
10. Let’s just say, in those days getting a bouquet was simpler!
I wanna stay in the 90s for a few hours, what about you?!
