Why Arnold Schwarzenegger is the subject of Anand Mahindra’s tweet

Anand Mahindra, an industrialist, is recognised for his funny, smart, and entertaining tweets. Mahindra is quite active on social media, and his posts frequently generate a lot of discussion.

One of his recent Twitter posts, which depicts a wall graffiti depicting actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, is also gaining attention. The piece, however, is not about Mr. Schwarzenegger’s remarkable career; rather, it lends his surname an Indian spin.

The businessman got in on the act, claiming that he, too, could have called the famed bodybuilder “Arnold Schwarzenegger” as shown in the graffiti.

“This is the ‘Great Indian Funnel,'” says the narrator. Everything and everyone is adopted, and we give them Indian Avatars! (And I’m not sure why I used to strive so hard to pronounce ‘Schwarzenegger’ when I could have just called him Mr. Subhashnagar),” Mr Mahindra wrote in his tweet.

Over 10,000 people have liked the post, and it has been retweeted over 700 times.

Many users complimented the artist on the portrait, while others had a good time.

“He is Arnold Shivajinagar for those of us from Bangalore,” one user said, while another added, “This is the limit of Indianization.” I read a Marathi novel in which James Bond was given the Indian name Janu Bande.”

“And hats off to the artist who depicted Arnold with a few brushstrokes… no need to even write the name there,” one tweet stated.

The prominent industrialist recently released a time lapse video of astronaut Chris Cassidy, which went popular on social media.

The astronaut was seen floating in space while working on the International Space Station (ISS), which orbits the Earth. Wonder of Science had initially posted it, and the industrialist had quoted it.

“It’s hypnotic to watch. It’s like an extraterrestrial ballet. #MondayMotivation, I want to start my week knowing that my work will be as important—and as fascinating—as this astronaut’s “In a tweet, Mr. Mahindra stated.
