- Fifa World Cup caused the fans to do unimaginable things.
- In one such instance, a woman drove a Mahindra Thar from India to Qatar.
- Anand Mahindra applauds the efforts and spirit of this woman and is glad that she trusted the Thar enough to undertake such an arduous journey in it.
Anand Mahindra tweeted recently saluting the Indian woman who undertook the journey from India to Qatar in her Thar SUV. We had reported the entire details of this unique and inspiring journey a few weeks ago. This woman, Naaji Mooushi is a mother of 5 and is a die-hard Messi fan. She wanted to see him play and Argentina win the world cup. Spoiler alert, Argentina did win the Fifa World Cup 2022 after beating the reigning champions France on penalties in what is widely regarded as the best world cup final match ever.
