Vijay Mallya’s social media has garnered some hilarious comments and memes. Many users have posted sarcastic comments about his return to India.
“Indians love you....they want you to be with them and celebrate this historic win..... you must respect them celebrate the victory with public in Bangaluru,” quipped one of them.
