Many may argue he shares his makeup with his great pal Narendra Modi, too. Modi's starchy skin tone has often matched his kurtas. But he seems to have given up his penchant for wearing orange with the rise of Yogi Adityanath. Yogi ji's orange is so overwhelming, you just don't want to see it anywhere else.
So fed up are we with the hue that I can hardly blame the BJP's Narottam Mishra for feeling outraged by Deepika Padukone's orange swimsuit in the 'Besharam Rang' song. Just 15 seconds of the tanned and toned actor gyrating in it has hurt 'Hindu sentiments' to such a degree that they want to ban the film altogether. Of course, it is only a matter of coincidence that her dancing partner is Shah Rukh My-Name-Is-Khan, and that Padukone showed up at JNU in 2020 to support student protests.
Rest assured the diversion has nothing to do with our recent face-off with Chinese soldiers in Tawang.
