New Delhi: Businessman Anand Mahindra reached out to the little boy who wants to buy a Thar for just ₹ 700.
Footage on Sunday showed the boy named Cheeku Yadav from Noida expressing his wish to buy Mahindra Thar.
The boy believed that Mahindra cars Thar and XUV 700 are the same and can buy both for ₹ 700, NDTV reported.
The social media users melted in the child’s innocence and the video quickly caught the attention of Anand Mahindra.
Sharing the video, the industrialist said that selling the Thar for ₹ 700 would leave his company 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,’ he reacted to the video.
As the the adorable video of the child went viral, many on social media urged Mahindra to fulfill the innocent boy’s wish.
Some users suggested potential business ideas too. One user reportedly wrote ‘Anand Sir, you are simply exceptional!! Great Indian and a successful businessman!! Commanding huge respect and incredible admiration , very well earned’.
Another user suggested the company to make Thar or XUV 700 toy car and gift it with selected models, as ‘it will be rage like hot wheels among kids and create a kids fan club.’
Yet another users urged him: ‘The kid unknowingly promoted your brand so passionately and with so much innocence and honesty(possibly with no expectations even)! Pls, gift him one.’
