Suspense crime, Digital Desk : Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, known for his eloquence and quick wit, found himself in a delightful and unexpected family encounter during a recent speaking engagement in Washington D.C. While discussing India-US relations, the floor opened for questions, and a familiar face emerged from the audience: his son, Ishaan Tharoor.
Ishaan, who is a respected foreign affairs columnist himself, stood up to pose a question to his father. Before he could (or just after he did – the exact timing added to the charm!), Shashi Tharoor, with a smile playing on his lips, quipped to the amusement of the attendees, "That shouldn't be allowed!"
The lighthearted remark immediately drew laughter from the audience, appreciating the good-natured humor in a situation where a prominent public figure was being formally questioned by his own son, who is also a professional in a related field.
It's reported that Ishaan then went on to ask a pertinent question, believed to be related to concerns about India's democratic standing, a topic well within his journalistic purview. However, it was his father's spontaneous, humorous interjection that added a memorable, personal touch to the otherwise formal proceedings.
The moment showcased a rare public interaction between the father-son duo in their professional capacities, highlighting both familial ties and mutual respect, all wrapped in a classic Tharoorian touch of wit.
