In November 2025 Simon Wong, Singapore’s High Commissioner to India, traveled to a village in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, for the wedding of a member of his staff. He wore Indian dress and posted photos: “Attended the #wedding ceremony of my staff in his village at #Bulandshahr #UP… so much joy. Congratulations.”
The post went viral. “This speaks volumes about your down-to-earth upbringing,” one user wrote.
