The latest Asian Paints ad featuring Deepika Padukone should flood your heart with nostalgia and memories of your childhood days.
In the ad, the actress and her friend transform a dull-looking study room into a vibrant and colourful one.
One of the walls is painted with a pattern that evokes the strings of a badminton racket, in shades of brown and cream. Another wall is painted a beautiful blue, on which Deepika Padukone hangs a pair of classic old wooden racquets and a childhood photograph of the actress with her father. The racquets, belonging to the 1980 All-England Badminton Open Champion, Prakash Padukone, adds a touch of class and elegance to this memory wall.
When Prakash Padukone walks into the study, he is surprised — and then awed — with the new look of his old study. He praises and teases his daughter, asking if she still has her childhood habit of drawing on walls. Father and daughter end up having a warm and hearty laugh.
Unleashing the creative child in you, this wonderful ad film instantly takes you back to such precious moments that you have had with your folks. Just as Deepika surprised her father, the Asian Paints Royale Play ad triggers you to draw on the walls again, and show the people you love what they mean to you.
