In the first such interview he has done, Shashi Tharoor reveals the man behind the incredible polysyllabic vocabulary, the clipped British accent and who’s hair keeps falling on his forehead. In a 60 minute interview to Karan Thapar for The Wire Shashi Tharoor speaks about a range of personal and emotional issues that he has never discussed before in public. What emerges is a unique self-portrait of a man with a 7.76 million Twitter following, one of the largest in the country. Like our work?
