In pictures: Forget Justin Trudeau, here's how PM Modi met little Hadrien

Ever since Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau arrived in India, speculation has grown like weed about PM Narendra Modi not attending him at the airport or meeting with him.

Putting rumour mills to rest, PM Modi today met with Trudeau and his family in Delhi, being all welcoming with smiles, handshakes and, of course, his signature hugs.

Now, Modi's Jay-Viru hugs with Trudeau are all cool, but it is his interaction with Junior Trudeau, Hadrien, that most anticipation had been about: Will we get another picture of the prime minister pinching a kid's ears for the cameras, or will this pumped three-year-old escape?

In case you don't remember, Hadrien's sister, Ella Grace, had gotten the 'Ear' when she met PM Modi the last time.

This time, Ella Grace got a warm hug...

Hadrien, on the other hand, did not find his ears between the prime minister's index fingers and thumbs at any point of time...at least not in front of the camera.

He did, however, get some cute pictures clicked with PM Modi.

There was an awkward moment involving Hadrein's hat, though...

But then, all was well...
