‘JD Vance is a family man’: US V-P’s photo with wife Usha and Indian family goes viral

Before he takes over as the Vice-President next month, JD Vance seems to be already making waves online with a photograph of him and his in-laws side Indian family going viral.

The Republican leader, who had been criticised for his stand on racism in the past, was seen in a photo with his wife Usha Vance’s Indian family, reportedly at a family Thanksgiving dinner.

The family picture shows Vance’s family in traditional Indian attire enjoying the festivities.

Vance--in the picture--is seen wearing a blue t-shirt and jeans while holding his son on his shoulder, while on his side is his wife seen wearing yellowish-brown outfit holding their daughter.

Also, 21 family members could be seen having fun in what appears to be a party in the backyard of a house.

Asha Jadeja Motwani, a Silicon Valley-based venture capitalist, shared the pic with a caption: "JD Vance at Thanksgiving. Reminds me of the big fat Indian wedding’s.

As the post went viral, reactions started pouring in with many appreciating him for being "a loving family man".

“His son is sitting on his shoulder in a pure Indian way” said one user, another wrote: “JD got a sense of real family".
