I was seven eight then (some 20 years back ) , I used to wait for commercial breaks in between Ramayana or other Sunday entertainers , for this girl to come and say
“I loove you Rasnaaaaaaaaaaaa“.
I recall me telling my friends, “If my parents are OK ., I am gonna marry her” ;-).

In the mid ’80s, the Rasna ad was a huge hit when it was played right between the cartoon Spiderman, shown on Sunday evenings. The ad showed a lot of kids drinking Rasna, and included one fat uncle (Umpire Swaroop Kishan) who drank a huge jug of Rasna. The jingle went like “Ras ki rachna Rasna Tarah tarah ke swaad ki rachna rasna RASNA!” (full version in the Comments section)
Time changes everything. Sometimes, the changes are so drastic that it makes you feel uneasy. Ankita Jhaveri, the cute kid whom we saw in the Rasna ad has certainly grown up!
But, it is alleged that her career downslide began when she attempted suicide when the unit was shooting a song sequence abroad.
Her career in Tollywood never recovered from that bad publicity. She tried her luck in Tamil film industry and failed.
