There’s no debating Shashi Tharoor’s command over the English language.
Forget using difficult words, the man has started making some of his own now.

No prizes for guessing what his favourite dish is…

His English is so good, that it’s he’s more often than not trolled for it.

In short, it’s universal knowledge by now that Mr. Tharoor has some crazy vocabulary.
Which is why, Akash Banerjee decided to test his Hindi instead.

And Shashi was surprisingly candid and funny about it.

Looks like he has a fairly good command over the Hindi language as well.

The test even refreshed his memory of a ‘beautiful girl’ he’d once met.

Of course he knew what a ‘jhoola’ meant.

But it was his definition of ‘Acche Din’ that was hilarious.
