Have you seen the latest Coke commercial on television where Amir Khan plays an animated character that jumps out of the
television and transforms into a human being at the temptation of drinking Coke? If you have, did the pretty girl in the ad look
familiar? If she did, there are enough reasons to be. Because she is none other than our very own Panchi Bora who shot to
fame with her portrayal of Prachi in Kayamath.
TellyChakkar was the first one to catch up with the pretty actress after the ad started being aired. Understandably she was
happy and excited about the fact that she acted in a commercial with Aamir Khan that is getting good response as well.
"Actually, I had got two offers earlier for commercials with Aamir. But somehow, none of them materialised. So when the Coke
ad finally went on air, it was a big relief for me and I was third time lucky," says Panchi.
In the ad, two friends (Panchi and another girl) are shown playing a video game and having Coke. Aamir is an animated
character in the video game that cannot resist the thought of having a glass of Coke and comes out of the television as a result!
"I am a big fan of Aamir Khan and when the agency approached me for this, I could not believe myself," says Panchi. How was
her experience shooting with Mr Perfectionist? "Needless to say, it was a fantastic experience for me. Despite being such a big
star, he is very down- to- earth. We chatted a lot during the shooting of the commercial. The ad required Aamir and me to show
a lot of camaraderie amongst us and the chatting really helped. We were quite comfortable with each other," says Panchi still
drooling over the lovely time she had shooting with her favourite actor.
Good going Panchi but when do we see you on a TV show?
