Love is somehow always in the air when Prime Minister Modi greets the US President Barack Obama. Photographs of them embracing each other can melt even the coldest of hearts

But this week there seems to be trouble in paradise as a photo of a rather scorned Modi walks behind a rather poker-faced Obama. We asked people to caption the photo, and this is what everyone thought could have set the mood of the scenario.

Caption this?

This is what Facebook thought was befitting to the somber mood of the photo.

The curious case of Modiji  ne ungli kyu uthayi?

Some thought that Modi was being denied warm bear hugs from Obama, the photos of which we have all seen, and gotten jealous of the bromance.

Others thought he could be promoting his new side-gig, being the unofficial spokesperson for Reliance Jio.

There is a new (F)LOTUS in town.

Maybe Modi was just trying to show him some Gujarati hospitality.

Or maybe he just caught Obama having some dranks, and tried reminding him about his Indian sensibilities that got hurt.
