Some people on social media found the dress similar to the frock worn by a child model in a 1990 advertisement of Nirma washing powder. The child, who was dressed in a short white frock had come to be known as ‘Nirma girl’. The visual of the girl whirling in that white dress, along with the jingle, had made it one of the most popular advertisements of the time.
The moment after Swara’s appearance in a similar looking dress surfaced online, a hilarious meme has flooded the social media.
Even Swara was impressed by the creativity and reposted the meme on her Instagram handle. She captioned it: “Very observant I must say guys. Reminded me of my childhood ambition! I always wanted to be the ‘washing powder Nirma child! @chandiniw @saracapela @hot.hair.balloon #Repost @movietalkies with @get_repost.”
Here is her post. Do check the reactions to the meme too.
The film also casts Sonam Kapoor Ahuja, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Shikha Talsania. The film is produced by Rhea Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor. The story revolves around four childhood best friends who reunite after 10 years only to realise how drastically their lives have changed. The film is slated to hit the theatres on June 1, 2018.
From Bollywood's silence to questions about free expression, Swara's comments have sparked a fresh debate on the role of celebrities in public movements.
A quiet visit, a heartfelt message, and a protest that continues to draw national attention. As Sonam Wangchuk's indefinite fast enters a crucial phase, Swara Bhasker has publicly stood by his side.
Joy swept through the Kapoor-Ahuja family as the couple announced the arrival of their second baby boy, with love pouring in from Bollywood. The proud grandfather shared an emotional note.
