Sonam Kapoor’s movie Neerja, based on the real life story of Pan Am flight attendant Neerja Bhanot, has received rave reviews.
While the entire country has been curious to know more about this young girl who sacrificed her life to save 359 others, when the flight was hijacked in 1986 in Karachi, Amul honoured Neerja by releasing a 1980s ad.
Neerja used to work as a model before joining Pan Am and has modelled for Benzer sarees, Binaca toothpaste, Godrej Besto detergent, Vaporex, Vico Turmeric cream, etc. This ad for Amul Chocolate features a young boy and Neerja singing about how he is, “too old for tricycles and too young to be a pilot. But just right for Amul chocolate.”
Here, we bring you some vintage ads featuring Neerja Bhanot, the model.
