Congress leader Shashi Thaoor, who often bemuses Twitter users with his English vocabulary, recently shared a morphed photo of him resembling English playwright William Shakespeare, adding that he’s “unworthy of the honour”.
Tharoor's tweet was a response to the morphed photo, which is doing the rounds on social media.
“The most flattering image going around on WhatsApp today – amazed that someone thought of making me into Shakespeare and then actually took the trouble to create this! Thanks to whoever did so (though I am completely unworthy of the honour!),” he said in the tweet.
Despite Tharoor’s response to the morphed image, netizens poked fun at the 63-year-old politician with a ‘farrago’ of tweets, where one user went ahead to call him the “Shakespeare for millennial.”
