The Thiruvananthapuram MP on Thursday evening took to Twitter and gave his followers a word which he said was taught to him by his economist friend Rathin Roy. 

Congress veteran leader Shashi Tharoor, known to amuse social media with this astounding vocabulary, is back with a new word and rather a cheeky take on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's growing beard during Coronavirus pandemic.

The new word from Dr Tharoor's dictionary is 'Pogonotrophy'. 

The Thiruvananthapuram MP on Thursday evening took to Twitter and gave his followers a word which he said was taught to him by his economist friend Rathin Roy. 

While responding to a user who was waiting for Tharoor to share some intriguing lesser known words. "pogonotrophy, which means "the cultivation of a beard". As in, the PM's pogonotrophy has been a pandemic preoccupation...," the former Under Secretary General- United Nations wrote. 

Tharoor's snarky remarks came amid the hotbed discussion over PM Modi's growing beard. Many people have come up with their own perceptions and theories behind PM Modi's transformed physical appearance. 

In little a span of little over a year since the Covid-19 pandemic began, Prime Minister's look has changed and how! From sporting a manicured beard to a following willow of vandyke, PM Modi look has now became talk of the town.
