On Friday, Mr Mahindra shared a video that features two SUVs being driven through a river in Goa.

Agreeing with Anand Mahindra, one user said, "This should be avoided. Sir, your advice is right at the right time (monsoon)."

“Water wading test in real. Hope they don't claim any warranty issues,” another user commented.
