In the ad, Anand is seen sitting with Gukesh wearing a stunning suit. Vishy  asks him about the new trophy he won last month by defeating Chinese Grandmaster Ding Liren and what it feels like to become a world champion.  

When Gukesh tells Anand that he can touch his trophy, Anand replies, "I have five." Do you want to touch four more?" to which Gukesh replies, "Nice flex, sir".  Gukesh also talks about tattooing personal achievements, to which Anand says, "Both my hands will be full." "

Gukesh has been on leave since becoming a world champion and has been attending several felicitation ceremonies. During this time, he also met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Tollywood superstar Rajinikanth and apart from this, he also shot an advertisement with Anand.
