To this, a twitter user said Anand Mahindra is also a 'Bhakt' and Mahindra reverted by confessing that yes, he is one.

Terming the tweet as a confusion, the user said, "@anandmahindra Sir..I think People have missed out the Bhakt in quotes..I hope U got me correctly..;) " He said that the "Bhakt" was in quotes and it was a satire on our Presstitudes and sickulars .

Mahindra also did a noble task by shutting down a fountain at his office in Mumbai when a person on Twitter grabbed his attention and said, "@anandmahindra fountain at mahindra towers at time of severe drought in Mah. Guess can be avoided."
A day later, Anand Mahindra promised to shut down the fountain as it "sends the wrong signal". He tweeted saying, "It's recirculated water & no wastage. But you're right, sends the wrong signal. We'll shut it down."
