Idukki: In one of the recent viral advertisements of a leading jewellery chain, the model's face radiates just like the cut diamond necklace that adorns her neck. For, the 21-year-old's biggest dream to feature in a jewellery advertisement had just come true, thanks to her comment on a social media site.
