What V. More (name changed), a tourist from Mumbai, was fantasizing about was soft, feminine hands kneading his shoulderblades and his back, slick with aromatic oil.

“Saheb, Saheba Aur Woh”

The coming out of Modi as a “married” man has a lot of implications for the country and for Indian women in particular. Modi acknowledged for the first time that he is indeed married; to a woman called Jashodaben Modi. He never consummated the marriage nor divorced his wife and left her to suffer for the rest of her life.
