Something makes me certain that Naseer really dug this outfit and look. Thank you @hemalisodhi for bringing this to my notice

Tilottama Majumdar, an award winning Bengali author “Wherever I go, my accent, my food habit should tell I am an Indian” Any day I would prefer to deal with a Yati Narsinghanand than a hidden fascist like her.
