Shashi Tharoor Acknowledges Grammar Slip in PM Modi Birthday MessagePreviousNext

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor made a minor grammatical error in his birthday message to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, writing "in his 76th birthday" instead of "on his 76th birthday." The mistake was quickly noticed on social media, prompting Tharoor to acknowledge it with a light-hearted response. Users reacted with humor, noting the rarity of such an error from Tharoor, known for his English proficiency. The exchange became a brief, good-natured social media moment.
