A new ad campaign shows MS Dhoni, Ajinkya Rahane and Virat Kohli wearing Devki, Sujata and Saroj on their backs rather than their usual surnames. When Dhoni was asked why he wore his mom's name on his t-shirt, he gives a humble reply - "Main itne saal se apne pita ka naam pehen raha tha, tab toh aapne nahi poocha - 'koi khaas wajah?"
The eye-opening campaign by Star Plus is a refreshing change that tries to imbibe 'nayi soch' on our minds. It's high time that our mothers too get recognition apart from our dads for making what we're today.
Here's a look at the campaign.
"Main itne saal se apne pita ka naam pehen raha tha, tab toh aapne nahi poocha - 'koi khaas wajah?"- MS Dhoni
"Log kehte hai, baap ka naam roshan karo. Magar mere liye maa ka naam roshan karna bhi utna hi important hai." - Ajinkya Rahane
Indeed, thought-provoking!?
