Ever since Yoga guru Baba Ramdev stepped into the commercial world of FMCG products with his ‘all natural’ brand Patanjali, he has been the brand’s sole ambassador. Given all the buzz around his proud-to-be-desi products, we feel he needs a helping hand with his promotional strategy. Not that his stint on The Kapil Sharma Show or yoga face-off with Ranveer Singh weren’t entertaining enough. But nothing sells like Bollywood, I’m sure even Baba knows that. So here’s what Patanjali’s endorser wishlist ought to look like-
1. Smokin’ Hot Shah Rukh Khan For Dant Kanti
Romancing your girl just like the king of Bollywood? Flaunt that bright white smile without worrying about smoke stains. Dant Kanti’s natural ingredients will make your jabra (jaw) sparkle, hide those tobacco stains and kill your smokey breath so that haule haule hojayega pyaar chaleya. Who better than SRK to be the face of this one?
2. Desi Girl Priyanka Chopra For Swarn Kanti Fairness Cream
If looking fair is your thing, be inspired by desi girl Priyanka Chopra who’s winning pardesi hearts nowadays. Her dusky Miss World complexion has given way to a fair and radiant Bollywood diva. Of course, PeeCee could sell anything from diamonds to fizz, and for your antics, I’m sure she’ll squeeze in an endorsement.
3. Sridevi For Saundarya Anti-Aging Cream
If you want to make botox and filling injections look passe, get Sridevi on board right now to be the face of your Saundarya Anti-Ageing Cream. Our Chandni is now the gracefully desi Shashi of English Vinglish and looks like she’s barely aged. But make sure you spell out the terms and conditions on the pack- smiling from ear to ear might not be all that easy after use.
4. Chatpati Kangana Ranaut For Amla Candy
Kangana Ranaut’s acting and dramatic interviews make her the best choice for your Amla Chatpata Candy. The product will appeal to all her fans who secretly want to get a little bolder and improve their skin and figure too. She’s the Queen of this product.
5. Ranveer Singh’s Energy For Power Vita
When it comes to energy, you can’t beat Ranveer Singh. His biceps could sell any health drink you could possibly launch. Drink up the essential nutrients in Power Vita and who knows, you might get your very own Ms Padukone. Baba you’ve already seen what this madcap is capable of on stage. Put him on the jar of Power Vita and watch them fly off the shelves.
