Indians fiercely ridicule Justin Trudeau for wearing ‘fancy dress’

NEW DELHI, 23 Feb.: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s wardrobe of traditional Indian clothing has been ridiculed by locals, with some accusing him and his family of playing ‘fancy dress’ during their visit to India.
The tour has been overshadowed by suggestions of a lukewarm reception by the government and a series of photo ops featuring the Trudeau family in coordinated Indian attire that have raised eyebrows in both countries.
The controversy came as the Trudeau family’s ornate traditional Indian attire raised eyebrows, with the prime minister at one point donning formal wear typically worn by bridegrooms.
His choice of clothing has raised eyebrows among Indians on social media, who described the Prime Minister’s attire as “fake and annoying”. It comes after Mr Trudeau attended a Bollywood gala on Tuesday where he wore gold-embroidered Indian formalwear to meet prominent members of India’s film industry,  including revered actor Shah Rukh Khan. The Bollywood star wore a conservative suit to the meeting, as did most other Indians in attendance. “FYI we Indians don’t dress like this every day sir, not even in Bollywood,” tweeted Indian politician Omar Abdullah. -Tribune Express
