Amul Has a Fun Take on Priya Prakash Varrier’s Viral Wink

Trust the Amul girl to come up with a witty take on all things topical. Priya Prakash Varrier, the overnight viral sensation should consider herself to have ‘arrived’ in the real sense now that Amul, Indian dairy company has made her the subject of one of their classic cartoon ads.

#Amul Topical: The overnight internet sensation!

Posted by Amul on Friday, February 16, 2018

The ad reads: Wink all, wink all, little star. Everyone eyes it.

It draws attention to her instinctive wink in the song Manikya Malarayi Poovi from the film Oru Aadar Love that took the internet by storm, and also to the fact that she’s a teen, making her ‘achievement’ stupendous. The video was viewed over 25 million times on YouTube in just one week!

Though little, she’s already a star in the eyes of Amul, the brand.

(The Quint, in association with BitGiving, has launched a crowdfunding campaign for an 8-month-old who was raped in Delhi on 28 January 2018. The baby girl, who we will refer to as 'Chhutki', was allegedly raped by her 28-year-old cousin when her parents were away. She has been discharged from AIIMS hospital after undergoing three surgeries, but needs more medical treatment in order to heal completely. Her parents hail from a low-income group and have stopped going to work so that they can take care of the baby. You can help cover Chhutki's medical expenses and secure her future. Every little bit counts. Click here to donate.)
