'Welcome to 60+ young at heart club:' Anand Mahindra extends birthday wishes to Barack Obama

On the occasion of Barack Obama’s 60th birthday, businessman Anand Mahindra shared a picture of himself with the former President of the United States. The photograph is over a decade old and was clicked in 2010 at Mumbai’s Trident Hotel. Obama was present for the US-India Business Council and Entrepreneurship Summit along with businessman Ajay Piramal of Piramal Enterprises Limited, Mahindra and others. Sharing the picture, Mahindra said he continues to treasure this photo because it is rare for global leaders to enjoy approval beyond their tenure in power. Wishing the former POTUS on his birthday, Mahindra, who is 66 years old, welcomed Obama to the ‘60+ young at heart’ club.

He wished Obama “Janamdin ki hardik shubhkamnaen (Happy Birthday)”. Obama turned 60 on 4 August this year. Born in 1961, he was elected the 44th President of the US and with that, he became the first Black President of the country. Since posted this morning, Mahindra’s tweet has been liked over 3,000 times and several people have commented on the photograph. In the comments section, Twitter user Manoj posted several pictures of Obama from his childhood to the White House, wishing the former President on his 60th birthday.
