The Complan Boy and the Complan Girl


Small kids have always been a favorite with advertisers since time immemorial. After all, your heart immediately melts when you see a small child talking about his / her favorite product. Two such kids (one a small good-looking boy and the other a cute little girl) were seen many years ago in one of the most popular commercials for a popular health and energy drink - Complan. While the boy proudly exclaimed “I am a Complan Boy” even the girl was not one to be left behind and said “I am a Complan girl”. The ad is still etched in our memories but what's interesting is that today that very good-looking boy and cute girl are among the teen heartthrobs of the nation.

Yes we are indeed talking about the super cool Shahid Kapoor and the glamorous Ayesha Takia. Years after they did the Complan commercial together, Shahid and Ayesha have managed to make a mark for themselves in the big, bad world of Bollywood. What's more, the duo was even romantically paired opposite each other in films like Dil Maange More and Fool-N-Final. They would also be seen in Ahmed Khan's forthcoming film Paathshala.


And just in case you are wondering what happened to the Complan, well one look at Shahid and Ayesha's respective debut films (Ishq Vishk and Socha Na Tha) and you'll surely agree that it was only Ayesha on whom the Complan actually worked.
