Gandhi obliged by calling her up and wishing the centenarian on her 107th birthday yesterday.
In a tweet, Bangalore-based woman Dipali Sikand wrote that her grandmother had a wish to meet Rahul Gandhi, whom she found as "handsome".
"Today my grandmother turned 107. Her one wish. To meet Rahul Gandhi! I asked her why? She whispers...He's handsome!," tweeted Sikand yesterday with a picture of her grandmother cutting a cake.
The Congress president responded, "Dear Dipali, Please wish your beautiful grandmother a very happy birthday and a merry Xmas. Please also give her a big hug from me. Best, Rahul."
Of late, there has been a lot of activity on Gandhi's Twitter account, where he mostly takes potshots at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP with his one-liner satirical messages.
Gandhi has 5.22 million followers on Twitter.
