Daag Ache Hain - Blue

Surf Excel has had very innovative Ads for a long time now.  Their 'Daag ache hain' (Dirt/Stains are good) concept is loved by all. Be it the young brother getting his dress dirty trying to get the dirty water on the road say sorry to his sister or the young boy getting a ball of yarn for the old lady or the ad where the boy gets his dress stained earning to tie the lace, all of them are classy. The Rosy Miss Ad where the boy tries to cheer his teacher by acting like a dog and in the process gets his dress stained is the icing on the cake. It has been a favorite amongst the kids; kids who can't even talk enact the boy acting as a dog. :)

Has anyone watched the most recent Surf Excel ad that features Kishori Ballal and a young boy? The ad is about how the boy helps his grandma (Kishori) to shoo away the crows from the front yard. The boy dresses up as a scarecrow in his father's shirt after coloring himself and the shirt in some shade of blue. When the grandma calls the boy, he keeps replying 'Ek Minute' (1 minute). You should watch the ad that is on You tube



Mickey has been so much influenced by this ad that she colors herself in the same shade of blue. I don't know how she got this color on the palate. Also, she keeps saying 'Ek Minute' just as in the ad. Display of Mickey's imitation of the Ad in still pictures is as below.

There are, I am sure, greater influence of the small screen in her life that I am yet to see.
