Congress leader Shashi Tharoor’s complex English is a phenomenon in itself. His “exasperated farrago” of incomprehensible words and to-the-point accent has baffled us more than once. And not just in India, his love and mastery of English is an acclaimed fact in the neighbouring country too. A Pakistani comedian recently made a hilarious video on how to speak English with Tharoorian perfection and even Tharoor is impressed.
The video begins with comedian Akbar Chaudry putting an Oxford dictionary in a blender and making a smoothie, then shows himself on drip with the label of the same dictionary and finally acting to make powder of the dictionary
and snort it like drugs.
When all of this is done, Chaudary plays an audio of Tharoor’s speech and lip-syncs as if he is the one speaking.
Take a look at the hilarious video.

The video has been shared over a thousand times in the past three days and has left the Internet ROFLing. Even Shahshi Tharoor is impressed by the creative mind behind the video and asked Chuadry to make a video on Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan next.
