అంబలి తాగేవాడికి మీసాలు ఎక్కు పెట్టేవాడు ఒకడు

అర్థం

This proverb mocks someone who tries to impress or deceive others by adopting false appearances—like a person drinking tamarind juice (which stains the mouth) while simultaneously trying to style their mustache. It's used to criticize hypocritical behavior where one's actions contradict their pretensions, conveying that genuine character cannot be masked by superficial gestures.
