For instance, Europe just can’t get enough of Indian kitsch, it seems. Recently, we saw Abhishek Bachchan accompany Labour MP Keith Vaz on the latter’s campaign trail in Leicester. Junior B reportedly answered questions on football and his career (that part must have been short-lived), and basically wooed Vaz’s Indian vote bank. Though as far as those wooing efforts go, that tight-fitted suit that Bachchan was wearing may have been self-defeating.
It seems the Conservatives didn’t want to leave things to chance and the potential impact of Bachchan’s sartorial ineptitude. Lest the Indian-origin Brits get carried away and vote for Labour instantly, a Hindi music video featuring David Cameron and his wife has been released which might well convince viewers that Cameron was born in Ludhiana instead of London.
Titled Neela Hai Aasman, the video for this original number sees Cameron and wife shake it like desis do. There's the London Eye, followed swiftly by a shot of the Golden Temple for good measure; she’s wearing saris; he’s folding his hands and bowing before babas and gurus.
Cameron makes chapatis, pays his respects to the Prabhupada, matha thhekos in a gurdwara, hands a carnation (awkwardly) to a popular guru, does many namastes and finally, the tour de force: stands shoulder to shoulder with Narendra Modi, Arun Jaitley, Amitabh Bachchan and a statue of Mahatma Gandhi. (Not altogether, fortunately or unfortunately.)
