Arjun Kapoor Turns Poker-Face Meme Into Ice-Cream Ad, Drawing Star Reactions Online

The self-referential spot turns a 2017 Half Girlfriend promo clip into a monetised in-joke.

Overview

  • The commercial exaggerates the viral deadpan gag by showing Kapoor expressionless in everyday situations before he bursts with joy after tasting the ice cream.
  • The meme traces back to a 2017 promotional clip for Half Girlfriend, often shared with the song Jigra Yaaran Da Naam Ka.
  • Celebrities including Ranveer Singh, Varun Dhawan, Farhan Akhtar and Gulshan Devaiah reacted with jokes and laughing emojis on social media.
  • Viewers noted the savvy move to profit from the meme, with comments like “meme se paisa kama gaya” highlighting the self-deprecating twist.
  • Coverage places the ad alongside Kapoor’s recent and upcoming work, including February’s Mere Husband Ki Biwi, a wrapped Delhi schedule for a Mudassar Aziz film and the planned No Entry 2 release around Christmas 2026.
