This ad was iconic: it defined that period when being an Indian meant being proud of leading an economical life and hunting for value for money wherever you could!
Lalita-ji was us!!
To quote from another iconic ad, people thought 'koi yeh kyo le, woh na le'
surf ki kharidaari mein ab aur bhi samajhdaari hai ,she was a partial sequel to Rajniism
Think I will do a post on Rajni sometime.
