Twitterati Cracks Up Over Anand Mahindra's Lockdown Joke

Anand Mahindra, the chairman, and CEO of Mahindra & Mahindra is an avid social media user. He recently shared a viral video on his Twitter account which had his followers in splits. A TikTok video showing a man waiting outside a room with a lock connected to a rope was uploaded by Mahindra Group Chairman. 

The rope and lock are suspended from the door's metal latch. The man continues to raise and lower the lock. The guy is heard replying "lock-down" when asked what he is up to. 

The joke, which was a parody of the nationwide lockdown implemented in response to the spike in COVID-19 cases, was silly but effective, said Mahindra. He praised people's capacity to find reasons to laugh even in the face of adversity. The video shared by Mahindra has received over 82,000 views in less than 24 hours.

Anand Mahindra Tweeted "This is the silliest kind of joke possible—but I'm still glad that as a nation we have our sense of humour intact. And frankly, this is the perfect time to replay this when every state leader is trying to figure out how much to lower that lock! "
