Shashi Tharoor Reacts To Viral Coconut Smashing Memes, Picks Favourite

New Delhi: Shashi Tharoor has reacted to the viral memes of him smashing a coconut that has been making rounds on social media.

Tharoor took to Facebook to share some of his favourite ones. He exhibits his sense of humour as he writes, "There are many of these memes going around using the picture of me ritually smashing a coconut. I don't know who dreams them up by they are often very funny. These are some of my favourites."

Shashi Tharoor had recently visited Elevanchery Bhagavathy Kshetram to offer "Niramala" on the occasion of Onam. The ritual included the smashing of coconut of which the politician shared photos on Twitter and wrote, "And then offered a "Niramala" at the Elevanchery Bhagavathy Kshetram a few minutes from my ancestral home (where I also smashed a ritual coconut & prayed to the Naga gods worshipped by all Nairs). Onam blessings to all especially those suffering in these troubled times."

However, the picture of Tharoor smashing the coconut dressed in a yellow kurta and white mundu has inspired many meme creators to display their creativity on social media. The Congress MP's picture was photoshopped into various scenarios to create hilarious memes.

Netizens have applauded the senior Congress leader for taking these memes in the right spirits.
