Kamal Haasan’s wish of veshti-clad PM come partly true
Actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan’s wish came true on Friday with Prime Minister Narendra Modi donning Tamil’s traditional ”veshti (dhoti)”.
Years ago, Kamal Haasan had said a veshti-clad Tamilian should become the country’s Prime Minister.
However on Friday, Prime Minister Modi – a Gujarati – wore the veshti, a white half-sleeve shirt and an ”angavastaram” over his shoulder as he welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping and took him around Mahabalipuram.
