Previous Year Question
Who is the brand ambassador of BSNL?
Shah Rukh Khan
Abhishek Bachchan
Preity Zinta
Deepika Padukone
Correct Answer: D
Detailed Solution
BSNL appointed Deepika Padukone as its new Brand Ambassador in 2008, replacing Preity Zinta. Therefore, Preity Zinta is an important distractor among the options because she had been associated with BSNL before Deepika.
Deepika Padukone's association with BSNL was not limited to an earlier advertisement. BSNL advertising work orders in 2010 also recorded her as BSNL's Brand Ambassador. A work order issued in March 2010 contemplated television commercials relating to BSNL's 3G Value Added Services featuring Deepika.
Therefore, it is useful to remember the chronology—
Preity Zinta → Earlier BSNL Brand Ambassador
Deepika Padukone → Replaced her as BSNL Brand Ambassador in 2008
