A prominent room in Colaba’s The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel bustled with happy faces that had collected to meet Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday evening. Even though the gathering — that saw the presence of top business leaders too — was limited in its star power, the presence of Shah Rukh Khan was enough. The ever-so-charming Khan, we hear, was humbled by Trudeau’s warmth, as the two discussed how cinematic ties between the two countries could be improved.

A sherwani-clad Trudeau, accompanied by wife Sophie Gregoire and kids, Xavier James and Ella-Grace, was also greeted by Aamir Khan, Anupam Kher and Farhan Akhtar. A guest present at the bash tells mid-day, “Trudeau seemed curious about the Hindi film industry and had some knowledge about it. He conversed with SRK and Aamir, and enquired how Canada could become a favourable hub for shooting Bollywood films.”

A lavish offering of food from across the globe — comprising sushi, pastas and risottos — supplemented a desi spread. But fitness-freak Trudeau and Sophia were apparently apprehensive of digging in. “His kids enjoyed the spread, especially the Indian desserts, with the rabdi being an instant hit. But, the PM and his wife were selective with what they tried.”

Model Alankrita Sahai, who was also present at the do, says, “I am glad that I met Trudeau. Having followed his campaigns since 2015, I was happy to notice that, in real life, he is exactly how he showcases himself to be.”

If you recently travelled to Agra, then chances are you would have spotted a guy in a blue suit getting clicked in front of the Taj Mahal. And trust us you’re not alone, if you too thought that he shares an uncanny resemblance with a certain someone who also happens to be the Prime Minister of Canada.

Justin Trudeau and his love for India is like Chole-Bhature, you just cannot separate the two. And his love for the India just came out from the virtual world into the real world, thanks to his India visit.

By now we all know that Justin Trudeau, the guy whose love for India and its culture is written all over his social media accounts, is finally in India for a week-long vacation. And if there’s anything we have learnt from his visit so far, it is that Trudeau is grabbing more eyeballs than the tourism places itself, and that he might get a Bollywood movie offer soon, given how well he gels and parties with all our beloved superstars.

We all saw how Justin tried to pose in what looks like SRK’s signature pose, and as we can see he failed miserably at it. But, who cares about pose, when you can click a selfie with the Badshah himself.

From Shah Rukh Khan to Aamir Khan, all the superstars partied with Trudeau and in a typical fanboy style, Trudeau wrote about his meeting with SRK.

Tonight, we celebrated stronger ties & new co-production opportunities between Bollywood and the Canadian Film Industry. And who better to help than @iamsrk himself… Great to meet you! ðŸ‡®ðŸ‡³ðŸ‡¨ðŸ‡¦ pic.twitter.com/1OcwsA9lMS

But, Trudeau’s party just didn’t end there; he was seen chilling with Aamir Khan, Farhan Akhtar, R Madhavan and Anupam Kher among others.

We feel Trudeau’s tweet has only reiterated what we’ve been saying since time immemorial – it’s impossible for anyone to resist SRK’s infectious charm.
