Sushma Reddy to be brand ambassador of Fair & Lovely?
Long time back, when somebody asked the ‘Lovely’ Sushma Reddy, “Sush, are you a Punjaban?” She only acted ‘Fair’ and said “Well… I am not a Punjaban. I am idli sambharan!” That’s Sushma Reddy for you. Smart, talented, beautiful and everything in between!
The news is that Sushma will now be seen as the brand ambassador of the global cosmetic giant ‘Fair & Lovely’, so informs Bollywood Hungama’s confirmed sources as well as the market buzz. Attempts to establish contacts with Sushma to confirm the same proved futile.
Looks like Sushma has lots of reasons to celebrate these days. On one hand, while she will be the face of the ‘Fair & Lovely’, on the other, her debut film (as a producer) called Dus Tola, is nearing its release. Some double whammy that!
