Prince William may still be reeling from Modi's iron grip

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s unique style of meeting and greeting world leaders is no secret.

Modi’s penchant for hugs has made international headlines on several occasions. The Indian premier almost always opts for a hug instead of a formal handshake, often making situations a little awkward, to say the least.



But the one time Modi offered his hand, things were no less awkward.

During his India tour, Prince William met Modi and posed for photographers with the customary handshake as Kate stood by their side. While you may think the handshake was like any other, the prince’s hands had a different story to tell.

When Modi finally let go of William’s hand, the Indian premier’s fingertips were imprinted on it.

Don’t believe us? See for yourself.
