A Doordarshan fanpage on Facebook unearthed an old television ad on Monday which feature the ace actor as a teenager. Shahid is seen sporting an ugly wig to play a biker brat in the ad for a liquid detergent. The short clip shows him entering the house as his sister-in-law lets him know about the puja in the evening. He tells her his only white kurta is dirty and unwearable, which means he would not be able to sit for the puja. But the ‘bhabhi’ says she’ll take the stain out and if she does, he’ll have to chop off the long hair.

Sure enough, the detergent does its job and Shahid appears in short hair and crisp white kurta in the next frame, shocking all the neighbourhood aunties. Watch the cute ad here:
