New Delhi, Nov 8 (IANS) Michelle Obama is the boss at home - so what if husband and US President Barack Obama is the most powerful man in the world.
“When you and the president have a fight, who makes up,” a student asked the US first lady at the National Handicrafts and Handloom Museum here.
“I always wait for the president to say sorry because I am a woman,” Michelle Obama responded with a smile.
Narrating the exchange, museum chairperson Ruchira Ghosh added that Michelle Obama came across a figurine at the ‘bhoota’ (ritual art from Karnataka) gallery and said it reminded her of her husband.
“A blue figure at the top of the citadel with ears sticking out from behind its head reminded the first lady of President Barack Obama,” Ghosh said.
“The figure looks like Barack,” the first lady was quoted as saying with a laugh.
The first lady interacted with a group of 14 underprivileged girls and students at the museum as part of a social initiative exchange.
