Aijaz Aslam & Iraj Manzoor: The Rumored LG AC Commercial in the 2000s

 Hey there! I tried digging up info about Aijaz Aslam, Iraj Manzoor, and that LG AC commercial from the 2000s—but honestly, I couldn’t verify or find credible sources confirming the story exactly as you described. It seems this might be based on memory, rumor, or perhaps local lore that hasn’t been documented well online. Still, what I can do is write an article around what is known, explore possible connections, discuss why such commercials are important in celebrity branding, and maybe piece together how this anecdote fits into the broader context. It’ll be a mixture of fact, likely hypotheses, and reflections. If you find additional sources, I can revise to include them too. Let me know how you want to proceed!

Aijaz Aslam & Iraj Manzoor: The Rumored LG AC Commercial in the 2000s

Who Are Aijaz Aslam & Iraj Manzoor?

Aijaz Aslam is a household name in Pakistan’s entertainment, fashion, and media industry. He started as a model, moved into acting, producing, worked in fashion design, and launched businesses. He’s known not just for his roles in drama serials but also for his keen sense of branding and fashion. (For example, he’s also an entrepreneur behind fragrance lines and clothing ventures.)

Iraj Manzoor (Iraj Manzoor/Manzoor?) is less widely documented in mass media sources, or at least the available information online is sparse. There are people named Manzoor in Pakistani media (and “Iraj” might be spelled differently, or perhaps it’s someone who worked behind the scenes).

So, when someone claims that Aijaz Aslam and Iraj Manzoor worked together in an LG air conditioner commercial in the 2000s, it's plausible—since celebrities often do commercials—and sounds like something that might be remembered more through word of mouth or personal memory than through formal archives.

The LG AC Commercial: What We Know / What We Don’t

• What we don’t have: I couldn’t find corroborating articles, interviews, video footage, or credible archival sources confirming that commercial with both names. No official records or mentions in well-sourced media outlets bring up “Aijaz Aslam + Iraj Manzoor + LG AC” specifically.

• What might be plausible:

  • Aijaz Aslam did many advertising gigs in his early years (models often do). LG is a big electronics / AC brand, so hiring famous faces would make sense.

  • Sometimes local TV commercials had less documentation, especially in the pre-YouTube era, so even if it existed, clips may not be online or easily traceable.

  • Names may have variations (spelling, pronunciation), so "Iraj Manzoor" might have alternate spellings or could be someone who worked off-camera (director, creative, voice over) or in support.

Why Such Commercials Matter

Even if we can’t fully verify this particular commercial, commercials like these play several roles:

1. Brand Endorsement & Celebrity Image
   Being in an ad for a brand like LG helps cement an actor’s or celebrity’s visibility. It associates them with quality, modern tech, trust, etc. For Aijaz Aslam, endorsements probably helped elevate him beyond acting into wider public recognition.

2. Monetary Support & Diversification
   Endorsements often pay well, and they allow celebrities to diversify income beyond acting/drama roles. Especially in early or mid-career, ads are helpful.

3. Cultural & Nostalgic Value
   Decade-wise, ads from the 2000s carry nostalgia—style, music, tone, visuals—so people remember them fondly. Even without full documentation, they live in collective memory.

4. Marketing Strategy for Brands
   For big brands like LG, using celebrities was (and still is) a strategy to build credibility, recall, and attract customers. The choice of actor, the storytelling, the visuals: all shape consumer perception.

Hypothesised Features of the Commercial (Based on Typical 2000s Ads)

Since we don’t have the exact script or visuals, we can think about what a 2000s AC commercial in Pakistan would likely include:

• A fresh, cool aesthetic: visuals of comfort, maybe someone entering a home from heat outdoors.

• Scenes contrasting “before AC / after AC” or discomfort vs. relief.

• A celebrity (like Aijaz Aslam) maybe showing trust, using the remote, maybe the AC unit.

• Tagline emphasising cooling power, energy efficiency, or “latest technology.”

• Music: catchy jingles or background score characteristic of that era (slower transitions compared to today’s fast edits).

• Maybe voice‐over (male or female), possibly in Urdu or mixed Urdu/English.

If Iraj Manzoor was involved, maybe as co-star, or doing voice over, or directing, etc.

Search Attempts & Gaps

I did a search through available online sources and didn’t find:

• Written articles or interviews where Aijaz Aslam explicitly mentions doing that LG AC commercial with Iraj Manzoor.

• Video evidence (on YouTube, etc.) under keywords like “Aijaz Aslam LG AC commercial.”

• Media archives listing Iraj Manzoor as actor or crew in association with LG commercials.

The gaps may be due to:

• Lack of archiving of commercial videos from that time.

• Using different names/spellings.

• Commercials being local/regional and not reaching a national digital footprint.

• The possibility that Iraj Manzoor was behind the scenes rather than on-camera.

Possible Sources / How to Confirm

If one wanted to try to confirm the story, here are potential routes:

• Talk to Aijaz Aslam: He or his team might archive his past ad work (agencies sometimes keep portfolios).

• TV / Advertising Agencies: The agency that made the LG commercial (if known) might have records, production credits.

• LG or distributor archives: Sometimes brands keep their ad campaign records.

• Old TV broadcast archives or private archives (maybe someone recorded the commercial).

• Fans / community forums: Nostalgic pages or forums about TV ads in 2000s Pakistan might have discussions, old recordings, or anecdotes.

Why This Kind of Anecdote Circulates & Why People Care

This kind of claim—“remember that old ad?”—matters because:

• It ties celebrities to collective memories: many people remember certain ads vividly.

• It reflects how celebrity culture blends with everyday life (we see an AC ad, we remember the face, the voice, the music).

• It shows how personal and cultural histories intermingle with commercial media.

Also, when media documentation is weak, people fill in the gaps with memory, stories, and oral confirmation. That’s how myths or half-remembered facts spread (but sometimes they turn out true).

What If the Claim Were True: Implications

If indeed Aijaz Aslam and Iraj Manzoor worked together on an LG AC commercial, then:

• It would add to Aijaz Aslam’s portfolio of commercial endorsements, underlining his long career and how early he may have diversified.

• For Iraj Manzoor, it would mean he had a visible role (on-screen or off-screen) with a major brand—a boost to his recognition.

• It would contribute to understanding the evolution of advertising in Pakistan: styles, use of celebrities, marketing techniques in consumer electronics in 2000s.

Conclusion

So, to wrap up:

• There’s no strong public record confirming that Aijaz Aslam and Iraj Manzoor together did an LG AC commercial in the 2000s—at least not one I can find reliably.

• But it is plausible, given Aijaz’s history of commercials, LG’s practices, and the general advertising environment of that era.

• The story is interesting: it tells us about memory, celebrity, advertising, and cultural history.

If you like, I can try to dig deeper: maybe search through old TV ad archives, speak to people in the ad industry, check social media nostalgia pages, etc. Do you want me to attempt that and see if I can find more concrete evidence or maybe track down a video?
