This photo of Emmanuel Macron grinning while hugging PM Modi is now a viral meme

Many can’t help but wonder what’s the reason behind the “evil smile”. While some compared the evil grin with that of “Hindi serials’ villain”, others thought it echoed that of “Frank Underwood” and “Lord Voldemort”! Check out some of the fun captions here.

Some also remarked it’s because of the Rafale deal as France sold 36 Rafales jets to India recently, or their own interpretation, even taking a dig at French cuisine!

When you know you got Modi to overpay for the Rafales

See that smile on @macron ‘s face. That comes after selling the Rafael’s at a very high price to India. https://t.co/kwkDRf16KO
