A newly-inducted minister in the Rajasthan council of ministers has landed in a controversy after a purported video of him equating the state of roads to Katrina Kaif’s cheeks went viral. In the video, Rajendra Singh Gudha, the newly-made minister of state for soldier welfare, home guard and civil defence and panchayati raj and rural development, is heard saying that “roads should be made like the cheeks of Katrina Kaif”.
In the same video, which is reportedly from an event held on 23rd November in Jhunjhunu district, Gudha is also heard saying that actress-turned-politician Hema Malini had become “old”, before taking suggestions from the public about younger actors and making the comment about Katrina.
