There is a lot more to the Gandhi son-in-law than a pair of pink trousers. Don't believe us? Check this out!
Robert Vadra may have single-handedly put pink trousers out of fashion when he wore them and went to cast his vote.
But the Gandhi son-in-law isn't always such a daring dresser (at least not in public).
So here we have it, the many avatars of Robert Vadra, who because of his rockstar avatar shall from henceforth be called… Robbie :-)
Don't forget to vote for your favourite Robbie look :-P

Robbie, the hep cat

Now Robert... oops Robbie... Vadra has always been a bit of a hep cat.
Low neck, body-hugging t-shirts are second skin to him, literally.
Ditto for stylish designer jackets and not to mention his collection of sunglasses that could make you turn green with envy!
Presenting, Robbie, the hep cat! Like him? Hate him? Tell us!

Robbie, the bodybuilder

Robbie also happens to be a bodybuilding enthusiast, the results of which, he obviously loves showing off in public.
Now, being the son-in-law of the country's most powerful family, entitles him to a retinue of half a dozen or so security guards… though why with those biceps he needs even one is quite beyond us :-)

When you are so close to the most powerful family in the country, you are bound to be inspired to join the circus, aren't you?
There have been close calls when he almost, almost expressed his desire to contest elections.
But they were all shot down by the boss (read: Priyanka) and Robbie's role was restricted to just campaigning for his party.

Robbie, the corporate dude

What everyone forgets is at the end of the day, Robbie is a businessman and every once in a while his job requires him to clean up, wear a tie and put on a jacket.
This is one of those instances.

One of the job descriptions of being a Gandhi son-in-law is showing up with the rest of the family whenever you are called in.
