Kareena Kapoor, the beloved Bollywood actress renowned for her unforgettable portrayal of ‘Poo’ in the classic movie “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham,” has brought back the iconic character in a delightful and humorous new commercial for Goibibo, a leading hotel booking website.
In the heartwarming ad, Kareena Kapoor reprises her role as ‘Poo’ but this time with a twist, affectionately referred to as ‘Bebo,’ her real-life nickname. Just like in the film, Kareena is seen strolling with her two friends in tow as they embark on a mission to find the perfect hotel room. As they check out one room after another, the ad showcases Kareena’s charming and comical reactions.
Dressed in an eye-catching orange blazer and classic blue denims, Kareena Kapoor’s expressions are as entertaining as ever. She humorously rates one room as “2” while lamenting the foul smell, earning it a “minus.” The next room is met with a disinterested “never mind.” Kareena then consults her friends for better options within her budget, and in unison, they respond, “Bebo, wanna go Goibibo.” Finally, Kareena sits in a more impressive hotel room and enthusiastically gives it “full marks.”
Kareena’s fans, known for their unwavering adoration, joined in the fun by playfully responding in the style of the ad. One fan quipped, “Yeh kaun hain jisne mujhse booking nai Kari (who is the one who denied me a booking).” Another encouraged Kareena to embrace her diverse roles beyond ‘Poo’ and ‘Geet.’ The ad was hailed as “iconic” and “brilliant marketing” by many on social media.
The ad is a promotion for Goibibo, the popular hotel booking website, and is in line with the company’s decision to appoint Kareena Kapoor (Bebo) as their brand ambassador. The internet lit up with the clever wordplay in a fan tweet, suggesting that if Goibibo were to have Kareena Kapoor as their brand ambassador, they could aptly call themselves ‘Goibebo.’ Goibibo shared the ad with the caption: “How it started: #goibibo. How it’s going: #goibebo. Introducing our newest brand ambassador, Bebo.”
This entertaining commercial showcases Kareena Kapoor’s timeless charm and her enduring connection with her fans, making it a delightful addition to her illustrious career.
