Samantha’s New Pepsi Ad

Samantha Ruth Prabhu has appeared in a new advertisement in which she makes a statement about women marrying at their own will, returning to work at their own pace, and acting in films. Samantha commented on the ad, “Duniya kheechegi neeche, but you got to rise up baby!” (The world will bring you down, but you have to get back up, baby.)”

The actress begins the video by sitting in a mandap as a bride. However, a wedding guest remarks on how girls should marry at the appropriate age. Samantha says as she walks with a Pepsi in her hand, “Time pe nahi, marzi se honi chahiye” (not at the right time, but at her own will).

In another scene, she is seen leaving work in a short skirt. “Kaunsa kaam raat ke 12 baje khatam hota hai,” the watchman responds (which job requires the employee to work until midnight). Samantha responds that it doesn’t even end at midnight.

Samantha is next seen on the set of an action film, and her co-star says that action in films is done by the hero. Samantha dismisses him and goes on to shoot her action scenes, saying, “Par is film ki hero to main hu (but I am the hero of this film).” Samantha concludes the ad by saying, “Sab ki sunoge to khud ki kab karoge (if you listen to others, when will you do as per yourself).”
