Your mind would be blown to know that a 74-Year Old Sikh Man was once featured on the prestigious Billboards at Times Square, New York. Pritam Singh achieved this feat in 2019 when he was featured at Times Square, New York during an endorsement of ‘Dollar Shave Club’.
Dollar Shave Club is actually a California-based company that specializes and deals mainly in Men’s grooming products. Pritam is a resident of Northridge, California, USA. The company revealed that they chose Pritam Singh for the endorsement just because he was a Sikh and exhibited the diversity of their country. Even the tagline of the commercial was “Beard oil because for some people beards are religion”.
Pritam revealed that he had no idea his picture was being displayed at Times Square. He was notified about it by one of his friends who lives in New York and was passing by Times Square. The commercial was shot in Universal City, California sometime before he made it to Times Square.
