Anshuman Jha: “I reflect the common man and therefore advertisers like me, I guess. I  think I’m ugly yet sexy and people relate to me. It’s been a good year.”

Hehe, so Anshuman Jha thinks he’s “ugly yet sexy” – I can honestly say I have never heard anyone describe himself that way before, but whatever it is, his face is definitely working for the advertisers. CNBC picked him up as one of the most popular advertising faces of 2011, and it makes sense – after all, he has Pepsi, Kaun Banega Crorepati and Tata Sky to his credit.

Psst, CNBC’s Storyboard special will replay Sunday at 11:30am; if you can’t wait till then, check out the YouTube video above 🙂

He also tells us he’s got more endorsements lined up for next year, as well as a diverse range of films – he’ll be playing a Sardar in Boys Toh Boys Hain, a negative role in Gyarah Chaalis Ki Last Metro and a romantic barber in Bakra. Seems like he’s got his hands full; all the best for the coming year, Anshuman! 🙂
