After Prime Minister Narendra Modi "met" his wax counterpart, which will now find a place at Madame Tussauds in London, the pictures of the rendezvous went viral. The Twitteratti, characteristically, chipped in with humour.
One @Trendulkar posted a picture of the real and the wax Modi, their hands folded in a namaskar, with the caption "SRK and Gaurav" - an obvious reference to the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Fan, where the actor plays a Bollywood star and also his obsessed admirer.
Another user, @AisiTaisiDemocracy, posted a picture of the PM with a palette and a paintbrush in his hands, adding a final touch or two to the statue, with the caption: "When photoshop licence on your laptop expires but you still gotta do it."
This was possibly a reference to the 2015 incident of the Press Information Bureau (PIB) releasing a touched-up picture of Modi conducting an aerial survey of flood-hit Chennai. When it was revealed that the picture had been photoshopped, PIB took it off its website.
