Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s trip to India was indeed very happening. His wardrobe of traditional Indian clothing, however, remained a topic of attention throughout.
His dressing was ridiculed by Indians, with some accusing him and his family of playing ‘fancy dress’ during their visit to India and was even called ‘tacky and annoying’.
Trudeau family’s ornate traditional Indian attire not only raised eyebrows, but the dress he wore for his meeting with the prime minister was said to be worn typically by Indian bridegrooms.
It all started after Mr Trudeau attended a Bollywood gala on Tuesday where he wore a gold embroidered Indian formal sherwani to meet prominent members of India’s film industry, including revered actor Shah Rukh Khan.
(We think he looks adorable wearing those khussas!)

Well too bad, but that’s exactly how Indians dress up for national days and festivals.

Trudeau, being an outsider, was simply trying to honor their culture (which is ninety five percent glitz and glam and bole chooriyan) but perhaps, they took it the wrong way.

Have they not seen this Trudeau family portrait?
Earlier this week, Modi tweeted a welcome to Trudeau late on Thursday, on the eve of a bilateral meeting between the two, six days after the Canadian leader arrived in the country:
