Shashi Tharoor reaction to comedian Saloni Gaur’s video leaves Twitter searching for answers!

Everyone is well aware of Congress MP Shashi Tharoor's love for the English language and his love for new words. In his latest tweet, he dropped three difficult words: ‘hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia’, ‘garrulous’, and ‘sesquipedalian —  all in the same sentence. The Thiruvananthapuram MP was reacting to Saloni Gaur, who had posted a video on Twitter in which she imitated his accent and drew similarities with a character from Sushmita Sen’s new web series, Aarya.

This is quite brilliant. @ShashiTharoor have you seen this? https://t.co/C5RoHjlOF2

Flattered by the comedic imitation. However, I would like to believe that I am not such a garrulous sesquipedalian... Clearly the artiste on the screen does not suffer from hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia!

While many made jokes and memes about his vocabulary, others were busy finding the meaning of the words. A look at some of the reactions of netizens...
