Anand Mahindra’s hilarious tweet about Arnold Schwarzenegger with a desi twist blows away internet

Industrialist Anand Mahindra is famous for creating a buzz with his witty and insightful posts on social media. This time is no different.

In his latest post, the CEO of Mahindra Group has shared a photo of a wall graffiti portraying former California Governor and Australian-American actor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The art showcases the pumped-up body of Schwarzenegger who was a professional bodybuilder and won seven Mr Olympias.

But the most interesting yet hilarious part was the words written under the graffiti. In the photo, one can witness a desi twist in the actor’s surname. The artist has changed the surname with a Hindi word and the name suggests ‘Arnold Subhashnagar’.

This is the ‘Great Indian Funnel.’ We adopt everything and everyone & give them Indian Avatars! हम पूरी दुनिया को अपनाते हैं. (And I wonder why I used to try so hard to pronounce ‘Schwarzenegger’ when I could have just called him Mr. Subhashnagar..) pic.twitter.com/zqOZN05k2N

Tagging the wall art as ‘The Great Indian Funnel’, Mahindra wrote in the caption, “We adopt everything and everyone & give them Indian Avatars. We embrace the whole world. And I wonder why I used to try so hard to pronounce ‘Schwarzenegger’ when I could have just called him Mr. Subhashnagar.” The desi reference did not go overlooked by the Mahindra’s followers.

Since being uploaded on 16 June, the photograph has received more than 11,000 likes. People have responded with several funny Indianised  names of Western stars. A user from Bangalore has suggested a different version of Schwarzenegger saying, “In Bangalore, he is Arnold Shivajinagar.”

Another user commented, “This is the limit of Indianization.
