Air Canada poster. The ad ran every 15 minutes for months. All friends and relatives in Canada were excited. When Mrs. RB Sharma (Indra Sharma) came to visit us in 1994, she witnessed an exciting event when I was randomly selected by a photographer. The photographer, a spotter, took several films of me, making me feel like a celebrity for a few minutes. Enjoy:
The above Ads were also displayed in the AIR CANADA Magzines found in their Aeroplanes
This is the picture by Indra Sharma when we took her to Marina Beach in San Francisco. It was there that this spotter photographer spontaneously snapped dozens of shots of me, using film after film. The spotter informed me that a renowned Hollywood director wanted to create a video ad for his esteemed client, Air Canada. Four to five spotters were dispatched to various public places, including New York, Miami, and Chicago, to find ordinary people of diverse ethnicities for participation in the ad.
I asked the photographer about the payment for participation, and his answer was unbelievable: a handsome payment of $500 per person. This shocked Mrs. Indra Sharma, as she saw me transform from a typical bureaucrat into a businessman so quickly.
Finally, I was selected, and I also involved my brother-in-law Baggi and his family, who each made $500 as well.
