The Prime Minister of Canada is visiting India together with his family.

Trying to win over Indian hearts and minds to gain business contracts from what will certainly become a leading economy in the next few years (on top of the Indian subcontinent already boasting more than a billion citizens), Mr Trudeau is certainly pulling out all the stops, visiting sights as much he can and being photographed with the whole family in various ‘ethnic’ Indian costumes.

Some Indians do see through his charade and find it comically that he’s trying so hard.

Various social media commenters were quick to point that out: “Is it just me or is this choreographed cuteness all just a bit much now? Also FYI we Indians don’t dress like this every day sir, not even in Bollywood”

Another said: “Indian media mocks #JustinTrudeau’s costume he wore while meeting Bollywood stars. I wonder who is in charge of #Trudeau's wardrobe. Which one of his dimwitted Sikh ministers advised him to dress up as #CostumeBallTrudeau and put on that fake 'smize' smile”

And one more: “Even if Trudeau was an Indian groom at his wedding reception he’d look ridiculously overdressed.”

It is pretty clear the Indians are well aware of what the Canadian Prime Minister is trying to do. They have no problem with it but are rather amused by the whole charade being put on before them.
