When Rahul Gandhi, as a kid, asked mother Sonia Gandhi if he was good looking, this is what she said
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi share a special bond with his mother Sonia Gandhi and it is often evident in his social media posts. A picture recently went viral on the internet in which the Wayanad MP was seen tying shoelace of her mother during the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’.
In an interview given to a youtuber, Rahul Gandhi revealed that as a kid he used to ask mother Sonia whether he was good looking and she used to reply “Perfectly average”.
Responding to interviewer Samdish Bhatia, who said Gandhi was good-looking, Rahul Gandhi said, “When I was a kid, I went to my mum and I was like ‘Mommy, am I good looking?’ My mom looked at me and said, ‘No, you are perfectly average’.”
Asked if he was making this up, Rahul Gandhi said, “My mother is like that. My mother will put you immediately in your place. My father also. My whole family is like that. If you say something, they will put you exactly where you need to go. So, she said ‘you are average’. That stuck in my mind.”
In a chat about his life and lifestyle, Rahul Gandhi said he shops for his shoes but sometimes his mother and sister also send him shoes. “Some of my politician friends also gift me shoes,” he said.
Asked if anyone from the BJP sends him shoes, Gandhi said that “they throw them at me”. On if he threw them back, Gandhi said, “Never, never ever”.
“About God, the Idea of India, and much more. An unfiltered and candid talk, on the Bharat Jodo Yatra trail, with @UFbySamdishh,” Gandhi tweeted along with the video of the interview.
