Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has made headlines for a variety of reasons and each time giving us lessons be it in history, politics or grammar. Recently we got our hands on Shashi Tharoor’s son Ishaan and Bhumika Dave’s wedding video. For the uninitiated, Ishaan, Foreign affairs writer at the Washington Post, married Bhumika Dave, a CNN recruiter in the US on October 15. The marriage was held at Hilton Richmond Hotel & Spa/Short Pump, Virginia, USA.

In the video, Shashi Tharoor is seen welcoming and praising the new bride. He says, “We welcome you with love and join into our family and into our lives….You are beautiful and elegant but also smart and responsible and you are close to your family. I love the fact that you are quickest to reply to any of my messages or queries or WhatsApp… I have been proud to be Ishaan’s father and prouder to be Bhumi’s father in law.”
The highlight of his speech was the wonderful piece of advice Tharoor gives Ishaan. He says, “At the family dinner I was asked to offer advice the couple. I won’t repeat it all but Ishaan the one thing I will repeat is to sleep on the left because your wife is always right.”
No wonder people call him ‘Sassy’ Tharoor.
