If you ever doubted the power of pop culture mashups, let a salon in Gurgaon change your mind. While Bobby Deol’s much-popular character, Baba Nirala, has made a return in Aashram Season 3 Part 2, it’s not just the show that’s grabbing attention. Instead, an unexpected crossover featuring the self-proclaimed godman and global pop icon Dua Lipa has taken the internet by storm – thanks to one salon’s genius (or completely random) marketing strategy.
A viral image of a salon’s banner is making rounds on social media, leaving social media howling with laughter.

The banner displays the faces of Bobby Deol’s Baba Nirala and Dua Lipa, side by side as if they’re long-lost collaborators in the world of hair and grooming. The salon’s name is Baba Ki Dua Saloon. Yes, you read that right. The wordplay alone is gold, but they didn’t stop there. The tagline beneath it is equally iconic: “Boli meethi aur daadhi teekhi – asli mard ki pehchaan."
Imagine walking through the streets of Gurgaon, looking for a trim and stumbling upon this masterpiece. Naturally, someone on X (formerly Twitter) shared the image with the caption, “Baba ki dua saloon?" and the internet took it from there.

One user commented, “Buddy, that salon owner is a bigger pop culture nerd than you lmao, his references and humour are peak." Another, clearly amused, asked, “Does this salon in Gurgaon even know who Dua Lipa is?"
And of course, the pun masters couldn’t resist joining in. One viewer cleverly remarked, “Baba ji ki Dua mai, jo dua hai, woh Dua Lipa ka reference hai lol." Another called it a “Peak reference game," while someone else added, “Ek to GGN and on top of that, Dua Lipa, that means price."
Whether the salon owner is a marketing genius, a meme lord in disguise, or just someone with an incredible sense of humour, one thing is clear – Baba Ki Dua Saloon has achieved what many brands dream of: instant internet fame.
