Risingbd Desk: SpiceJet's branding and ancillary revenues is set to get an oomph push as it is in talks with Bollywood actress Sunny Leone to sell her brand of products, perfume and deo on flight, a senior executive with the budget airline said.

"We have had a couple of meetings on the issue. She is very keen to sell her perfume and deo range, Lust, n board our airline. She is also keen to collaborate with SpiceJet for a line of products from clothing to lingerie and travel-centric products in partnership with SpiceJet Merchandise Pvt Ltd," said an executive in the know, who did not want to be identified.
