He looks a little squat in this picture, perhaps because of the angle I snapped it. His great grandson, at least, is a very tall man.

The King's Picture
Pop was wondering about whether the portrait of the king's grandfather was more flattering than he deserved. I don't think so. This is his father, the current king's great grandfather, holding the sword given to him by the Prince of Wales.

The reason I asked was because he looked like a Bollywood or Tollywood movie star, and not like the average Indian I've seen.
ReplyDeleteWell, not all good-looking Indians are in the movies, for sure. I think the current king is slightly older than you are and is not in super good health, so he doesn't look exactly like a movie star, but I think they're just a good-looking family. The Bobbli kings aren't quite as striking.
