It features extraordinary moments for wildlife enthusiasts. In the clip, five cubs are seen walking behind their mother at the largest tiger reserve in the state. While sharing the video on social media platform X, Mahindra said it was “a Saturday armchair sighting” for him. He also questioned why people were chattering so much as they should remain silent.
“Magnificent. 5 cubs with their mother at Tadoba National Park. A once-in-a-lifetime sighting for these visitors. A Saturday armchair sighting for me… (I haven’t been on a safari for a while, but the last time I went, we were told to be as silent as possible. Why so much chatter??),” he wrote.

The video has since gone viral on X, garnering around 90,000 views.
“Wow; what a sight! 5 catwalks! A couple of years ago at Tadoba, we were lucky to spot Chhoti Rani doing a catwalk in front of our jeep for 10 minutes! It’s truly an amazing experience! Sir, you’re right on chatter,” one person wrote.
Another added, “Sir, watching a mother and her cubs in their natural habitat is truly magical—it’s a reminder of the beauty and fragility of wildlife.”
“That’s a brilliant sighting- once in a lifetime indeed. Visit Tadoba, who knows you might also get lucky,” read another comment.
Tadoba National Park, also famous as the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, is one of the oldest and largest national parks in Maharashtra. It is situated in the Chandrapur district, approximately 150 km from the Nagpur city. In total area, the tiger reserve covers 1,727 sq km, which includes the Tadoba National Park, created in the year 1955.
Mahindra had on Friday shared a video related to Maha Kumbh on X and said that it held a “special place in my heart.:
“In 1977, as a student filmmaker, I went to the Mahakumbh that year to shoot footage for my thesis film, which I named ‘YATRA’. I was amazed to see, even then, how the administration managed such an incredible logistical challenge,” he wrote.
The Maha Kumbh is all set to kickstart on January 13 and will conclude on February 26 in Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj.
“Today, the numbers expected to attend boggles the mind. It is undoubtedly the world’s largest gathering. I salute all those unsung heroes who work tirelessly to conduct the festival peacefully and efficiently. It is truly one of the wonders of both the ancient & modern worlds,” Mahindra said.
