Congress President Rahul Gandhi’s political prowess may still be debatable, but his good looks and charm in the early days have made quite a few ladies swoon. Turns out, there’s no age bar when it comes to his female fan following, as a 107-year-old woman from Bengaluru has asked for an innocent birthday wish – she wants to meet him.
On her birthday, on December 25, she told her granddaughter that she would like to meet Rahul because she finds him ‘handsome’. The woman’s granddaughter, Dipali Sikand, tweeted to @OfficeOfRG (Rahul’s official Twitter handle) with a picture of her grandmother cutting the cake.
Check out the tweet here:

Lo and behold! Her wish was partially fulfilled when Rahul wished the centenarian on Twitter. Within hours, she received a response from none other than ‘handsome’ Rahul Gandhi.
Rahul did not just send best wishes for the sweet old woman’s birthday, he also asked Sikand to give her a big hug from him.

Dear Dipali, Please wish your beautiful grandmother a very happy birthday and a merry Xmas. Please also give her a big hug from me. Best, Rahul. https://t.co/lcp8NUa8Di

Well, if you think this was all the surprise that the birthday girl got from Rahul, then you are mistaken. Later in the day, Rahul made it a point to call and convey his wishes, making it an even more memorable birthday for the 107-year-old.
And as if this was not enough @OfficeOfRG Mr.Gandhi called and personally wished my Nani!! This is #TrueHumaness. Thank you all of you for the blessings for her . Each one of them matter. https://t.co/ftvZ1pmhsJ
