Anand Mahindra, the chairman of Mahindra Group, is well-known on social media, especially on X (formerly Twitter), where he engages with his millions of followers. He frequently shares updates about new products, insights on various topics, and witty responses to tweets. His clever exchanges often gain significant attention and go viral. Recently, Mahindra’s humorous reaction to a user’s post on X attracted widespread attention.
An X user, Kushan Mitra, posted a picture of himself standing between two Scorpio cars with the Ramanagara hills in the background.
These hills famously served as the fictional town of Rampur in the iconic Bollywood film Sholay (1975), starring Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, and Hema Malini.
Mitra’s tweet included the photo with a caption asking, “Would Basanti have used a @MahindraScorpio if Sholay was shot today?” This referenced the film’s character Basanti, played by Hema Malini, who originally used a horse-drawn cart.

Anand Mahindra’s Response
The nostalgic and playful tweet caught the attention of Anand Mahindra, who retweeted it with the comment, “Kitne Scorpio the?”—a clever twist on the iconic dialogue from Sholay, “Kitne Aadmi The”.

The interaction became even more entertaining when another X user shared a meme featuring the famous Sholay scene where Gabbar Singh, played by Amjad Khan, asks, “Kitne Aadmi The,” and his henchman responds, “Do thi sardar.” The meme was edited to say, “Kitne Scorpio The,” with the response, “2 thi sardaar.” Anand Mahindra found the meme amusing and retweeted it with a laughing emoji.
The comment section was filled with reactions from users who enjoyed the humorous exchange.
The Mahindra Scorpio SUV is a significant part of Mahindra & Mahindra’s success. In the past 11 months, over 69,000 units of the Scorpio have been sold.
