Cameras captured a candid exchange between Putin, Angela Merkel

BS Web Team New Delhi

As the world leaders gathered to attend the G-20 summit, a candid exchange between Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Angela Merkel took the social media by storm.

Cameras captured a candid exchange between Putin and German Chancellor Angela Merkel - one that is as humorous as it is fleeting. Putin, with one hand in his pocket and the other emphatically gesturing, appears to be discussing a topic that Merkel seems to find less than riveting based on her reaction.

The Internet wasted no time in guessing the conversation topic that prompted Merkel's eye roll.

The twitterers were quick to respond to the video, with one writing, "Mansplaining, G20 style. Watch Angela Merkel's eye-roll."

While another wrote, "Putin is explaining how he gets his chest so shiny by rubbing baby oil on it before he goes outdoors to show it off.

Watch Angela Merkel's viral eye-roll and hilarious reactions to it.
