Salman Khan’s every appearance, be it on the small screens or big screens has takers. Today he is one of the biggest superstars and just his name is enough. We all remember the coy romantic boy from his breakthrough film Maine Pyaar Kiya in 1989. But the actor’s very first mien with the camera was when he was just 16 years old.

Salman Khan appeared in the Campa Cola ad in the 1980s. The ad saw all of the models enjoying on a boat and had to jump into the deep waters of the sea. Salman knew swimming very well at that time which is when he was asked to play a small part of it. But the ad director was not very convinced about him as he looked young. Well, he was just about 16 years that time.

Interestingly, even in the ad, the makers asked him to show off a little of his muscles and it was convincing for the director. He was aboard the ship to celebrate the spirit of Campa Cola! Take a look at this ad and you just can’t miss his long mane, boyish looks and little brawny built. It was shot in the Andaman Islands.

It is refreshing nostalgia to see Salman Khan along with some of the top models of those time. The ad featured Ayesha Shroff (Tiger Shroff's mother), Aarti Gupta Surendranath, Sunil Nischol and Vanessa, Shiraz Merchant.

Even today Salman endorses a popular drink- Thumbs Up and we see him doing his action stunts well. Looks like his youthful days have stayed with him through and through. While those are high on stunts, this old ad will strike with you to see the budding Khan, doing the dive and enjoying the drink. For Salman Khan fans this Campa Cola ad is no less than a treasure!
