Being Alyque Padamsee: The Liril Girl Is Back Under the Waterfall

The Liril girl makes a comeback and we relive the first ever Liril ad which took the country by storm

The creative team of the original Liril TV commercial, Alyque Padamsee and ad filmmaker Kailash Surendranath take us through how the original Liril commercial was born.
