Taking a trip down memory lane, Mahindra shared a picture of Golden Temple during Diwali in 1975 along with his ‘steel bangle’.

He had taken a semester off from college in the US and hitchhiked through India. On Diwali, he had landed in Amritsar.

“I bought a Kada and had it blessed in the Golden Temple. I have not taken it off since then..Back in the US, my friends called it my ‘steel bangle,’” his post said.
