Mahindra Group chairman Anand Mahindra, who is quite active on social media and is known for sharing entertaining, informative, witty pictures and videos that garner the attention of netizens. The industrialist in his latest Twitter post pointed out a quote falsely attributed to him. While calling out the quote falsely attributed to him, he posted memes in reaction to the false news. He further stated that he would be taking legal action against such acts.
In the Twitter post, Anand Mahindra said, "As a colleague told me: ‘It looks like it’s hunting season on you with miscreants on the internet.’ Another completely fabricated quote falsely attributed to me. I’ll be taking legal action. Meanwhile, I’m going to post the 2 memes to the right, below, whenever I spot more fakes![sic]."
He shared three pictures in the post, in which one image shows the quote that has been wrongly attributed to Anand Mahinda. The other two pictures are the memes that the Industrialist has posted in response to the “fabricated quote”. One meme shows Anand Mahindra with text that read, “I NEVER SAID THAT” and another meme from Arshad Warsi's Jolly LLB featuring his dialogue 'Kaun hai ye log? Kaha se aate hai?'
