For roughly the last six decades that it has existed in Pakistan, Lux Soap has been the torchbearer of bringing the vanity of the entertainment industry to the forefront through its glamourous commercials and advertisements. It has made its mark as the ‘soap to the stars’, and to this date, every time a new Lux girl is revealed, it creates a buzz all around.
That’s why, it’s no secret that from the actresses of yore like Suraiyya, Shabnam, Shamin Ara, and Neelo, and the soft faces of Sangeeta, Atiqa Odho, and Samina Peerzada, to the then-Lollywood reigning empresses Meera, Resham, and Reema, and glamour queens, Aaminah Haq, Iman Aly, and Vaneeza Ahmed, everyone chose to the endorse the brand wholeheartedly.
Today, the same place has been taken by names like Saba Qamar, Mahira Khan, Maya Ali, and Mawra Hocane. Yet, the message remains the same – embracing the glam factor of the entertainment world.
