Anand Mahindra Tweets Video of Garba at Marine Drive, Watch!
As Navratri began this week, Garba performances became common across the country. In one such celebration at the nine-day festival on Mumbai’s iconic Marine Drive, several youngsters were spotted pulling out some of the classic Garba steps. Anand Mahindra, one of India’s biggest business tycoons who is quite active on Twitter, shared a video of people doing Garba on the streets of Mumbai.
Industrialist Anand Mahindra, who is known for his unique take on current affairs, took to his Twitter account to express his joy at the sight. In a light-hearted tweet, Mahindra said the conquest and annexation of Mumbai’s streets is complete.
However, according to him, these are invaders who have been welcomed with open arms. He went on to claim that there was no place like Mumbai during Navratri. The Mahindra boss also issued a warning saying that all Gujarat locals can protest against his claim.
“Mumbai, Marine drive. The conquest and annexation of the streets of Mumbai is complete. But these are invaders who are welcomed with open arms. There is no place like Mumbai during Navratri. (I know I will hear cries of protest from the cities of Gujarat!),” read Mahindra’s tweet.

This year Navaratri started on 26th September. It’s that time of year when cities across the country are decked out in festive fervor for the nine-day festival. Enthusiasm among people is especially high after the celebrations have been marred for the past few years due to the restrictions related to COVID.
