Anand Mahindra's witty tweet on Telugu star Balakrishna backfires, gets trolled

New Delhi: The internet is a weird place. People here get offended by seemingly harmless and silly things. The same happened with Mahindra Group chairman Anand Mahindra, who never knew that a witty tweet of his would go on to make headlines. Mahindra had to face the wrath of Telugu star Balakrishna’s fans after he put out a funny tweet in response to a video clip in which the 57-year-old actor is seen lifting a Mahindra Bolero with one hand. This is the video in question: And this is what he tweeted in response:

Haha. Now all our service workshops won’t need any hydraulic lifts anymore to do Bolero check-ups!! https://t.co/WiS6hcpT2h

However, the tweet was not appreciated by Balakrishna’s fans, who started trolling and criticising Mahindra

Sir I never expected such a big personality reacting to some movie trolls you lost your respect, BTW Balakrishna is not only hero and ,MLA, he runs cancer hospital which is in 2nd place in India and offers free treatment for poor & creates awareness campaigns for breast cancer. — Premkumar (@premkumargajja) January 16, 2018

I thought you had a better job to do than responding to a stupid tweet from an unknown guy ? Did you ever respond to customer compliants about your products with same urgency ? — Ravi (@ravir9) January 16, 2018
