<p>Advertisements not only sell products but sometimes deliver a powerful societal message. Bollywood actor Gajraj Rao is winning hearts on the internet for featuring in a powerful advertisement which is titled <i>Band Baaja Bitiya. </i>While the ad is for Goel TMT, its messaging is moving people to tears.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The advert mirrors are inspired by real-life incidents in which fathers brought home their divorced daughters with a band in tow. The ad was released a few days back and has gone viral ever since, with people tearing up at its brilliant and poignant messaging.</p><h2>Gajaj Rao’s moving new advert</h2><p>The advertisement shows Gajraj in two timelines – one, when he’s heading somewhere with a wedding band in tow, and another when he receives a heartbreaking call. “Phir se? (Again?)” he asks, as his daughter informs him of her domestic abuse. He is then shown contemplating as everyone, fom his wife to his son and relatives tell him his daughter must learn to ‘adjust’ and ‘accept her fate’. However, he seems determined as he walks with a band in tow to the daughter’s in-laws home.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He tells her husband and in-laws he’s there to take her home and adds, “Ye na koi parai hai, nahi dhan (She is not a stranger to me, and she is nobody’s wealth).” The ad ends with the caption: “Countless women suffer in silence because their families don’t stand by them.”</p>
