According to a viral video, a salon in Gurgaon has created a remarkable visual. The promotional poster showcases a blend of images of Baba Nirala and Dua Lipa.

Indeed, you read that correctly! The poster presents a collage featuring both Baba Nirala and Dua Lipa. If you are puzzled by its significance, the clever wordplay is found in the salon's name. By combining "Baba" and "Dua," the salon is aptly named "Baba Ki Dua Salon." The tagline further enhances the humor, stating: "Boli meethi aur daadhi teekhi—asli mard ki pehchaan." Internet users are thoroughly enjoying the reactions to this amusing and unexpected marketing tactic.

Bobby Deol on Breaking His Image for Aashram

Deol expressed his astonishment at being approached by Prakash Jha to portray the character of Baba Nirala, a role he had never anticipated. In a conversation with ANI, the actor remarked, "I was eager to explore various types of roles and venture beyond my usual boundaries. However, in the film industry, an actor's persona often becomes firmly established. When I received a message from Prakash Ji requesting a meeting, I presumed he would propose a role as a police officer, given my capability in that area. To my surprise, he revealed that he wanted me to take on the role of Baba Nirala. Initially, I thought I might have misheard him, but he expressed complete confidence in my ability to fulfill the role—and it unfolded precisely as we had envisioned."

Expressing gratitude towards Prakash Jha, he remarked: "The director, Prakash Jha, had faith in my abilities, and I achieved my aspirations. I consider myself fortunate to have been offered such a demanding role. He advised me, ‘Remember, people will pay attention to you.’ This advice has always stayed with me, and I have made it a point not to overact. Whenever I strayed from this, Prakash Ji was there to guide me back. Overall, it has been a remarkable journey, and every actor has performed exceptionally well."

Aashram Season 3 Part 2 is currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video. For further updates on this series and other content in the streaming and film industry, please stay connected with OTTplay.
