Vijay Mallya's Well-Timed 'Happy Ugadi' Greeting Has Internet Cheering

Vijay Mallya, considered to be the master of making the most of bank holidays, once again proved his knack for timing by spreading Ugadi cheer on social media. Whether it's Diwali, Ganesh Chaturthi, or any other festivity, you can always rely on him to extend his warm wishes.


So, when Ugadi dawned on April 9, Mallya kept up his tradition by sending out heartfelt greetings for the Hindu New Year celebrated in certain Indian states like Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, and Goa.


"Happy Ugadi to all," he simply penned on 'X'. And just like that, the comment section exploded with amusing banter as users began sharing their witty responses.


"One user jokingly petitioned to rename all Government Holidays as Vijay Mallya Day!!" Another teased, "Tweeting on festival day won't give you the IPL trophy," poking fun at Mallya's former team, RCB, which has yet to clinch the Indian Premier League title.


A third commenter chimed in, saying, "Thank you, sir. We only know it's a bank holiday today because of you." Today, banks in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Manipur, Goa, Jammu, and Srinagar remain closed.
