Let’s go in the flashback and remember the Pan parag ad back in the 80s, in which Shammi Kapoor appeared with Ashok kumar in an advertisement of pan parag and his brother was heartburn by the ad.
The ad in 1980s in which Shammi Kapoor asks Ashok kumar to welcome the Baaratis with paan parag, was a massive hit back then. It was an iconic ad by the two actors. But here comes the problem when even after a huge popularity, Shammi kapoor’s brother Raj Kapoor became unhappy with the ad.
Shammi Kapoor once revealed through his youtube vlog that the only reason to do the ad was Ashok Kumar for him. He acted in the advertisement just because he was getting a chance to share the screen with his biggest idol Ashok kumar. Shammi Kapoor was really fond of Ashok and he always wanted to become like him. That is, he wanted to do acting like Ashok.
Shammi Kapoor said that he always wanted to share the screen with his idol Ashok kumar but never got the chance. And when he finally got the chance to act with him in the ad, he, obviously, did not wanted to miss the chance. So he did.

But, once when the Kapoor family was returning from hong kong and the public was gathered at the airport, fans spotted Shammi and started calling “pan parag” and also started rhyming the jingle of that ad. Shammi did not reacted much but Raj Kapoor, his elder brother scolded him for the scene. Shammi Kapoor revealed that he was told, “Aren’t you ashamed?” this was because Raj Kapoor felt – All his successful movies were in vein and all people could remember is ‘Pan Parag’!
Shammi Kapoor didn’t held his brother wrong but his reason for doing the ad was also justified.
