Prashant Sethi, who was earlier gratified by the compliments from both strangers and acquaintances, is now driven back by the very same words of admiration. Sethi claims that he is against the political ideology of the Congress leader and disappointed by its President. Furthermore, online memes on Rahul Gandhi have impacted his life. Sethi's wife Gunjan doesn't mind him changing his look as she believes sometimes he also resembles Bollywood actor Neil Nitin Mukesh. Prashant Sethi's father, Subhash, always encouraged his son to join the Youth Congress, but Prashant Sethi had refused.
