This is a picture of our favorite billboard in Bangalore. It is for a famous retail chain that sells gold jewelry. (Gold is the jewelry of choice for both women and men) Although this "look" is nothing unusual for India, he appears to Brian and me to have that Used Car Salesman nuance:D So, all this to say, most people in Bangalore probably don't think twice about this billboard but we think it should say...
ARE YOU BEING DUPED....BY ME? :D :D :D

YESSSSS! I have laughed at this billboard every time I see it and tried to explain to our driver why it's so funny, what a used car saleman is, etc. Right there with ya, sister! :)
He is actually one of the film actors in the state of kerala. His name is MohanLal. Won 2 national awards for best actor and francis ford coppolla, Johny Depp, and M night Syamalan consider him to be the top 5 actors in the world. The ad does look tacky
It was fun reading your blog!!! and to see India from your frame of reference. BTW this guy is one of the very fine actors India ever produced, also a quite revered public figure in Kerala. So caution: comparing this Indian icon with slaes man nuisance may offend folks from Kerala.
