Gandhinagar: “Only Gujaratis know how to move in a circle without stepping on anyone’s toes.”

That punchline, rooted in the rhythm of garba, became the centerpiece of a witty geopolitical take by actor-author Twinkle Khanna, who used humour to describe India’s diplomatic balancing act on the global stage.

In a viral post, Khanna likened international relations to a “global garba,” suggesting that India, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is carefully navigating complex alliances much like dancers moving in sync without collision.

Her analogy paints a vivid picture: engaging with Vladimir Putin, maintaining dialogue with Iran, aligning at times with Israel, sharing warmth with Donald Trump, and staying connected with Gulf nations—all while keeping balance intact.

The comment comes in contrast to her reference to a recent remark involving Fumio Kishida and Trump, which she described as an example of diplomacy losing some of its finesse.

Khanna’s “garba diplomacy” line has resonated widely online, especially among Gujaratis, with many applauding the cultural metaphor that turns a complex foreign policy approach into something instantly relatable—and unmistakably Indian. DeshGujarat
