Anand Mahindra responds to Noida boy’s wish of buying Thar for Rs 700, says ‘we would be…’

Indian billionaire Anand Mahindra shared a video on Sunday featuring a young boy named Cheeku Yadav from Noida. In the video, Cheeku expresses his desire to buy a Mahindra Thar car, believing that it can be purchased for just Rs 700.

This innocent misconception caught the attention of social media users and Anand Mahindra himself. Sharing the video, Mahindra humorously stated that if his company were to sell the Thar for ₹ 700, they would go bankrupt. 

''My friend Sooni Taraporevala sent me this saying “I love Cheeku!” So I watched some of his posts on Instagram (@cheekuthenoidakid) and now I love him too. My only problem is that if we validated his claim and sold the Thar for 700 bucks, we'd be bankrupt pretty soon,'' Mahindra wrote on X.
