Well, interestingly, Trump is not the first president to mention Shah Rukh Khan’s film. Earlier, Former US President Barack Obama had also referred to Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge during his India visit in 2015. In broken Hindi, he quoted the iconic dialogue from the film and said, “Senorita, bade bade desho mein… you know what I mean.”
Trump is in India for the Namaste Trump event, which is on the lines of the PM Narendra Modi’s Howdy Modi programme. Trump will now visit Agra to witness the beauty of Taj Mahal.
