The latest electric coupe SUV from Mahindra has been winning the hearts of top Indian celebrities ever since its launch
Two-time Oscar-winning musician AR Rahman and Sacred Games actor Kubbra Sait recently purchased the Mahindra XEV 9e. The electric SUVs represent the modern and electric division of the Indian automobile giant. It plans to sell these EVs across various international markets in the coming time. As a result, the EV bears an ultra-modern appearance and styling along with a generous offering of tech amenities to pamper the customers. That is also why we see many influential personalities from Bollywood buying it.

Note that AR Rahman even composed the soundtrack of the infotainment system on offer with the Mahindra XEV 9e as a part of a collaboration. No wonder he was so impressed by the vehicle that he ended up getting one for himself. Whether he paid for it or got it as a brand collaboration deal is unclear. Similarly, Kubbra Sait took to social media to demonstrate her new ride. In the images, she is evidently excited as she poses for a few photographs in front of the electric SUV. We even spotted famed director Anurag Kashyap with a Mahindra XEV 9e a few days ago. It is slowly becoming the darling of our beloved stars.
