Frito Reality Show


“Oh! My God…”, said Nishi Malhotra, the ever so happening EA to our CEO, almost creating a mini quake in my cubicle. Other 2 fellow colleagues looked at me as if I was surfing some other sort of ‘interesting’ stuff. Let me tell you nothing unusual needs to happen to get such overly exaggerated statements from our folks in the office. I was just casually flipping through the drafts of my newsletter when she caught Dhoni’s pics peeping from the pile. The cascading effect takes place and another one joins in, “ Wow…Dhoni, look at his biceps, he sooooooooo cute!” "Dhoni is cute indeed", I agreed.

These pics are live from our promo that is currently running with our products called Chala Change ka Chakkar (CCC in short) details of which I had posted some time back on this blog (check out guys..its for real!). FritoLay gave three thrilled fans a chance to live their favorite stars life – Dhoni’s, Saif Ali Khan’s and Juhi Chawla’s through this promo. In this pic Dhoni is checking out Hiren's bike…how cool.. (Nishi would have almost imagined herself sitting behind him). He also went to Hiren’s office and tried his hand on answering a few calls and assembling a few sockets, prepared some tea for his family while Hiren was off to being a cricketing superstar. Hiren enjoyed a meal at Dhoni’s favorite Dhaba while Dhoni was enjoying a game of gully cricket with Hiren’s mother and boys of his building. “I ended the day reliving my experiences over a cup of tea at a tea stall overlooking the Ranchi landscape”, said the youngster. “It was a perfect end to a perfect day.”

Another 20 year old Paras Kakkar swapped lives with Juhi, complete with being pampered at a spa, picking out an elaborate wardrobe, getting a make over and doing a photo shoot in a true star style. And well, Juhi was in a for surprise because it turned out that it was Paras’s parents anniversary and she was incharge of their surprise party!! She cooked Paranthas with the ladies of the house.

Umed Rana, the lucky man from Bhiwana got to live Saif Ali Khan’s life for a day. Not surprisingly his schedule involved getting fit. “I followed his fitness routine, workout at his gym and a dance rehearsal at the end of the day, full on Bollywood ishtyle! Saif in the meantime did shopping with his family at a mall, went go-karting with his kids and had meal with them. He also played guitar while kids did a small dance performance.

Well, can we have a ‘Live life of your Boss’ kinda internal contest in here? Is anyone listening?

Your manager's life is quite dull.. compared to your life Madhu... one day in Bangkok the other in Dubai... and all the partying to go with it... here it is homework with the kids and helping them prepare for their exams... or deciding the dinner menu...
