Saffron sync: When PM Modi's pocket square matched Israeli First Lady's dress
India Today
In a video taken on the tarmac, Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu pointed out that PM Modi's saffron pocket square perfectly matched his wife's orange jacket.
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi stepped off the aircraft in Israel on Wednesday, a small detail in his attire became part of a warm exchange with his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu greeted Modi on the tarmac with a hug, saying, “Good to see you.” Modi, dressed in a traditional white kurta and pyjama paired with a sleeveless jacket, sported a saffron pocket square. Standing beside Netanyahu was his wife, Sara Netanyahu, who wore a dress in the same shade.
Noticing the colour coordination, Netanyahu pointed to Modi’s pocket square and then to his wife’s outfit, saying, “You see what she wore?”
“Yes, saffron,” Modi replied with a laugh, as the two leaders exchanged warm greetings.
