Saloni Gaur’s short video post made fun of the web series Aarya, featuring Sushmita Sen and Chandrachur Singh.One of the characters in Aarya is rumoured to be built around demeanor’s of Shashi Tharoor.
It’s while replying to Mehta’s tweet, the MP used the word “hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia”.
Praising Gaur’s efforts the minister wrote, “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!”.
