A newly launched Dettol commercial depicts a young boy tumbling amid the chaos of a wedding. Although he reassures the elders around him that he is fine, he hobbles over to his mother to have his injury tended to. He only lets his tears flow when she cleans the wound, yet he insists he is okay so that she will not become upset.
Avyaan’s performance in the touching advertisement left many people deeply moved. Even actors such as Ridhima Pandit praised him, writing, “Very good,” while Karishma Tanna commented, “So so good. I had tears in my eyes.” In a Reel, his parents shared what inspired him, noting, “All the love for his performance. But the real credit? A little boy, big dreams… and a lot of Shah Rukh Khan.” The video shows Avyaan completely engrossed as he watches Shah Rukh Khan’s 2004 film Veer Zaara. The text on the clip reads, “Everyone asking how he nailed those emotional scenes… Well, learning from the best – SRK school of acting.”
