The image was recreated by Shashi Tharoor's fans based on a few old pictures from his early days at the UN.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor took to social media to offer a nostalgic yet humorous take on ageing after he received an AI-generated image from fans who placed him face-to-face with his 22-year-old self in the edited image.

The image, which is now viral on X, recreated a youthful Tharoor based on a few old pictures from his early days at the United Nations when he was working with refugees.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Tharoor reflected on the AI rendition, calling it a mix of "swagger" and a “scraggly beard.”

Meanwhile, on the political front, Tharoor, an MP from Kerala, cancelled his visit to West Bengal's Kolkata due to flooding.

In a post on X, Tharoor also expressed grief over the loss of lives due to the disaster in Eastern India City.

"Saddened to hear about the devastating floods, the loss of life, flooded streets and homes, stranded cars& buses, and worse, in Kolkata. I was to speak there today and tomorrow, but have cancelled my visit in the circumstances and am nursing a sore throat at home instead. My best wishes to the City of Joy for a speedy recovery from its current distress," Tharoor posted on X.
