A little more than two months is all we’re left with to drool over on one of the most good-looking, enigmatic and driven RBI Governors India has ever had – Raghuram Rajan.
The rockstar, who ‘broke’ the Internet saying, “My name is Raghuram Rajan, and I do, what I do”, has broken many hearts (government, investors and lady fans) by announcing that he’ll step down as his term ends. Sigh!
So, who could be next RBI Governor? Let’s forget the usual names and look at some ‘hatke’ people – even if they least fit this profile, they might just do an extraordinary job!
Salman Khan
For India, Bhai-nomics works far better than economics. Salman Khan could churn out more money as a Governor than anyone can. Whatever Sallu Bhai touches turns into gold, even if it’s the most bizarre and outdated script ( Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, anyone?).
You know why? Well, bhai is a man of words, and ek baar jo usne commitment kar di…uske baad toh woh khud ki bhi nahin sunta!
Sunny Leone
It’s time to bring about some radical changes and the best person to do so is none other than Sunny Leone. The woman has made a splashing entry into Bollywood and made the industry accept a porn star as a lead actor. Well almost!
And like Rajan, she knows how to laugh off questions from journalist. Don’t believe us? Just ask Bhupendra Chaubey.
Pahlaj Nihalani
Pahlaj Nihalani will pull out his sanskaari whip and get cracking from the word go. In his own ‘Andaz’, he’ll ensure there is no ‘dirty’ money exchanged in the country and will also extensively ‘cut’ down the interest rates.
Arnab Goswami
Arnab Goswami, with his fiery attitude and his mega loud voice, has the ability of muting anyone by his seemingly interminable questions. Not just the nation, but Arnab wants to know about the economy and where the country is headed.
‘Frankly speaking’, Arnab would make sure that India’s economy is as engaging as his prime-time debates.
Baba Ramdev
During ‘crunch’ time, Baba Ramdev will bring ‘flexibility’ to the economy. Baba ji will encourage swadeshi talent, and focus only on pure ‘organic’ companies. Ramdev can free India from all its debt, by simply doing ‘sukhasanas’ (keep calm and breathe in and breathe out), ’cuz Baba knows the best!
