“Let me tell you what it means to be a good brother, okay?” said Rahul to a smiling Priyanka.
“What it means is, I am doing these massive long flights, and I am going in a little helicopter like that, squeezed up, and my sister is doing short flights in a big helicopter... But I love her!” he added.
Rahul captioned the post “Was nice meeting Priyanka at Kanpur Airport!” that has received almost 70,000 likes and over 13,000 shares as of Saturday evening.
