'K-Drama star', netizens gush over Indian Union Minister's gorgeous looks in throwback picture

The popularity of Korean content in India began from the Northeast. Their satellite channels would play Korean dramas which led to the popularity of actors like Lee Min-Ho, Song Joong-Ki and others in India. Well, a picture has been shared on social media that is getting a lot of love from Indians. Some said the man looks like a Korean drama star, Shah Rukh Khan of the Northeast or a Chinese actor. It is of none other than Kiren Rijiju, the Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs. We can see him in a grey suit from what looks like a wedding or college function.

With his mullet, high cheekbones and a dazzling smile, he is truly a heartthrob in the picture. After seeing that, netizens wondered why good-looking men from the Northeast did not get a chance in Indian movies or in Bollywood. Some said he entered the K-Pop and K-Drama Universe long before it was a thing. In fact, FMSCI had also shared a picture of him on a bike where he looked like a film star. Born in West Kameng in Arunachal Pradesh, Kiren Rijiju did his higher studies in Delhi. He is an alumni of Hansraj College like Shah Rukh Khan, Anurag Kashyap, Palash Sen and the current OTT sensation Elvish Yadav.

Kiren Rijiju himself acknowledged the post saying it is him. The comments from netizens are wild. It is said people from the Northeast of India are one of the most fashionable in the country. We can see that he is fond of dressing well.

When the talk of Indian politicians and good looks, the few names that come to our minds are Shashi Tharoor, Late Madhavrao Scindia, Chirag Paswan to name a few. Kiren Rijiju surely could have tried his hand in the entertainment industry with that charisma and smile.
