Who doesn't remember the ever-charming face of Irrfan Khan who became the first-ever brand ambassador of LED brand Syska Group?! After Irrfan's unfortunate demise in April, Fast Moving Electrical Goods (FMEG) company Syska Group, on Wednesday announced their new brand ambassador — Rajkummar Rao.
Just as the first ad released on social media, fans dearly remembered Irrfan Khan. Netizens also praised the company for choosing Rao and called him a 'good replacement'. Rao took to his Instagram handle to share the first promo and wrote, "Here's to a bright new chapter of success." [sic]
