What better way to beat the Monday blues than getting nostalgic about good ol' days. And it gets easier when you come across one such gem while scrolling through your Instagram feed. The video is an old Pepsi TVC featuring none other than Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor Khan. Yes, PeeCee and Bebo fighting over Arjan Bajwa! But it’s their early 2000s fashion trends that would make you say, ‘wow, what a different time’! They might be wearing black latex flared trousers and long leather jackets, but this video is going to add a rainbow of colours to your mood.
Soft drink brand Pepsi has always had the biggest of Indian celebrities as their ambassadors. From Shah Rukh Khan to Sachin Tendulkar, and MS Dhoni to Salman Khan. Not just the male celebs, but PepsiCo India got two of the biggest actresses in Hindi cinema – Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor to share the screen for them in Pepsi CafeChino. The TVC also starred Arjan Bajwa, the romantic interest of both the ladies. Lucky guy.
It’s such a delight to watch Priyanka and Kareena act in one project. Because they’re a classic example of ‘frenemy’ relationship. They have worked in movies and advertisements together early in their careers. They have said nasty things to each other. They have dated same the same guy (lucky, Shahid Kapoor). They have had great mutual friends. Cut to a few years later, both Priyanka and Kareena apparently buried the hatchet and had great things to say about each other.

However, as fans, we do miss seeing their magic together on the screen. Priyanka is enjoying her status as an international star. She has a couple of Hollywood films, A Kid Like Jake and Isn’t It Romantic up for release. The 36-year-old will also be seen in Bharat with Salman Khan, and The Sky is Pink with Farhan Akhtar. Meanwhile, 37-year-old Kareena is having the time of her life being a mother to a toddler son, Taimur Ali Khan and a successful career in hand. After delivering a big hit with Veere Di Wedding, her first film post-childbirth is in talks to sign up few big films opposite Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar.
