Shahid Kapoor’s use of the word ‘chutzpah’ in ‘Haider’ had turned it into a phenomenon that lasted for a substantial amount of time. The word came into the limelight again when Chairman of Mahindra Group, Anand Mahindra used it to laud his Twitter follower’s big request to be gifted a car from his company. However, the successful businessman that he is, he hilariously wrote that he couldn’t do so since his company would shut down.

A ‘big fan’ of Anand Mahindra didn’t hesitate before asking the veteran for a car for his birthday. Mahindra seemed impressed by his ‘chutzpah’, and even explained a ‘word lesson’ by writing its pronunciation and meaning from a dictionary, “extreme self-confidence or audacity (usually used approvingly).” He then used it by using in a sentence, “love him or hate him, you have to admire Vipul’s chutzpah.”
