The ad opens up with a holy man, ‘Swamiji’ talking about what’s permanent and what’s temporary in life’s journey. He writes ‘Happiness’ and ‘Money’ on the whiteboard and asks for someone to volunteer for a little experiment. Deepika Padukone, present amongst the audience, goes up and erases ‘Money’ but couldn’t erase ‘Happiness’. Then she asks for the markers and re-writes the same things and asks Swamiji to erase them. This time Swamiji is unable to erase ‘Money’ but can erase ‘Happiness’. Deepika tells him that it is all about the path and ink chosen to mark the important factors in one’s life.
