New Delhi:
Congress President Rahul Gandhi had an unusual admirer in a 107-year-old woman in Bangalore, who found him "handsome" and wished to meet him.
Gandhi obliged by calling her up and wishing the centenarian on her 107th birthday.
In a tweet, Bangalore-based woman Dipali Sikand wrote that her grandmother, who turned 107 on Tuesday, had a wish to meet Rahul Gandhi, whom she found as "handsome".
"Today my grandmother turned 107. Her one wish. To meet Rahul Gandhi! I asked her why? She whispers ... He's handsome !," tweeted Sikand with a picture of her grandmother cutting a cake.
The Congress president responded, "Dear Dipali, Please wish your beautiful grandmother a very happy birthday and a merry Xmas. Please also give her a big hug from me. Best, Rahul."
Later, Gandhi called her up and Sikand acknowledged, tweeting again, "And as if this was not enough Mr Gandhi called and personally wished my Nani!! This is #TrueHumaness.
