Anushka Sharma’s rising popularity in Bollywood
is there for all to see, but the actress is also making waves in the
brand endorsement arena. The “Band Baaja Baaraat” girl was named the
brand icon of the year at an award function here Monday night.
Anushka, who forayed into Bollywood with “Rabb Ne Bana Di Jodi”, was
honoured as the celebrity endorser Reliance Communications Limited at
the NDTV Good Times Gadget Guru Awards Monday.
Anushka was appointed the ambassador for the brand in 2011. As part
of the association, she featured in four fun-loving television
commercials. But she wasn’t present to collect her award at the event,
held at the Kingdom Of Dreams in Gurgaon.
The event, hosted by NDTV’s tech gurus Rajiv Makhni and Vikram
Chandra, along with actress Gul Panag, saw awards being given across 18
categories for the most innovative and clutter breaking gadgets and
gizmos in 2011.
So what if Anushka wasn’t present. The bit of Bollywood quotient was
added by Rishi Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandes, Asin
Thottumkal and director Sajid Khan, who came to promote their
forthcoming film “Housefull 2″, releasing April 5.
Also present at the event was Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Kapil Sibal.
