Description:

The spot follows a light-hearted dinner scene where a South Asian family is surprised to learn that their daughter’s non-Desi boyfriend cooked an Indian meal. When asked how it was, we cut to a comedic montage of him struggling through an Indian grocery store and a chaotic kitchen experience. This is a spec commercial for Shaan Foods, created independently to showcase storytelling and cultural nuance in a fun, family-centered setting. We are not officially affiliated with or hired by Shaan.
