Smriti Irani drops by Starbucks sans security, leaves the internet impressed
Indian politician Smriti Irani seems to be making all the right moves on social media – first with her successful #IWearHandloom campaign recently, and now after being caught on camera ordering coffee at a Starbucks outlet without her security bodyguards in tow.
The textile minister’s no-fuss approach towards VIP protocol has won her much appreciation after she was snapped on August 5th by Nimish Dubey, who later posted her photo on Facebook. He went on to write about how Irani is a regular at the café and always stands in line before placing her order.
Dubey praised her for arriving and leaving without any hassles despite her status as a Cabinet Minister of the country. His post quickly went viral and won thousands of likes and hundreds of shares.
Here are some of the responses by the Indian Twitterati:
@smritiirani Starbucks, wow on the simplicity. ðŸ‘👠pic.twitter.com/ung2rKweC6

@smritiirani madam I like the way you behaved at Starbucks. So called VVIPs should take lessons from you. India needs more VVIPs like you!
