Watch: This British Airways ad will make you cry and smile at the same time
#FuelledByLove, a new commercial by British Airways (BA) will surely win your heart and swell it up with happiness.
In order to attract the Indian travellers, BA, the flag carrier airline of the United Kingdom has made this wonderful advertisement.
The story in the ad revolves around a crew member who falls in love with India and forms a strong bond with the country.
The ad shows flight attendant Helena who’s traveling to India for the first time and meets passenger Anandi, who is a senior citizen from Hyderabad and is returning back to India.
Helena is shown helping Anandi and they also share a emotional moment when Anandi misses her son and Helena comforts her.
When the flight reaches its destination, Anandi invites Helena to her house for a special function. The main base of the video is Indian hospitality and the makers have very finely captured it with great depths.
Apparently, the ad film is inspired from a real life event and is directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, who also directed Masaan.
