The ‘friendship’ between Barack and Modi is all over the place.
Both the heads of the two countries were on Sunday seen chatting on the lawns of Hyderabad House.
Modi who is well known for his keen eye on his wardrobe had worn a cream-coloured long shirt paired with a striking saffron shawl. He then changed into a blue and white striped coat after he greeted the Obamas at the airport.
But what looked like a regular, smart look for the PM was not what it seemed on a closer look.
The jacket which he sported during his meeting at the Hyderabad House has the name ’Narendra Damodardas Modi’ written all over it.
Don’t believe it?
Here’s a closer look at those stills from the meeting.

According to one twitter user, Hosni Mubarak, the ruler who ruled over Egypt for over 30 years had once too sported a similar design - a jacket with his own name on it.
