New Delhi: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor today shared a short video clip of his encounter with one of his self-proclaimed "greatest admirers" in Nagaland, where Assembly elections were recently held, in response to her plea to "spill some secrets" on how someone "so astonishingly good-looking and charismatic" can be "brilliant and intelligent" at the same time. "Choose your parents wisely," he said about one's appearance, adding that it's all in the genes,” said Shashi Tharoor stating that one should try to boost one's intelligence.
