We all have those celebrities and well-known personalities who can certainly give us a fangirl or fanboy moment if we meet them in real life. That is what happened with this woman who got a chance to ask a question to Shashi Tharoor during an event in Nagaland. She not only shared how she is a fan of the MP but also asked him questions about his intelligence and looks. Exhibiting his witty self, Tharoor also replied to the question. And now, the video of the interaction has left people amused.

Shashi Tharoor took to Twitter to re-share the video that shows the interaction between him and an attendee at his event. "A 2-minute sidelight from my recent visit to Nagaland seems to be going around on @WhatsApp: here it is!" he tweeted.

The video opens with the woman telling Shashi Tharoor how she is "one of his biggest fans" and is "currently starstruck". She then goes on to ask, "So, sir please explain yourself. How can someone be so astonishingly good looking and charismatic and even more implausibly brilliant and intelligent at the same time? Sir, please spill some secrets." Upon hearing the question, the MP gives out a hearty laughter and goes on to say, "You are very sweet and very kind and generous". For the rest of the video, he answers her questions in the best way possible.
