Few days back, Mahindra ook to Twitter to share a photograph of a chained SUV quipping that it was his state of mind under the lockdown. Known for his witty social media posts, Mahindra wrote that although it was not a “high tech solution,” it perfectly depicted the passiveness of the owner for his car. In the photograph, a black coloured SUV could be seen parked on the sidewalk. However, what left everybody amused was the fact that the owner had locked the car by tying it to a tree with a metal chain. Drawing an analogy between the chained Scorpio and himself, he wrote that he will try to "break the chain" by stepping out during the weekend, obviously with his mask on.
