The tycoon-turned-fugitive Vijay Mallya is seen in a video, shot in London, cheering for the RCB in the IPL  finals on Sunday.

His hair has lost all traces of pepper and is now bland white. Besides that, he looks as happy and healthy as ever.

The video on Twitter was posted by his son Sidharth Mallya, who shares screen space with his father, and few other friends. Vijay Mallya’s long-time companion Pinky Lalwani is the only person missing in the frame.

It was probably shot at the private theatre of his plush secret home in Tewin, a little outside London. After the video went viral, Sidhath deleted it perhaps fearing PR trouble for his father, who is battling India’s deportation call.

Siddharth also mentions about Mallya-owned Force India's third place finish in the Monaco Grand Prix, which also took place on Sunday.

"Here we are, watching together from London. It doesn't get better than Sergio Perez getting a podium. Hopefully we can add to what has been an epic day of sports so far,"

Siddharth turns camera on his father and urges him to say something; "Go RCB" says Vijay Mallya.

Mallya had quit as RCB director days after stepping down as chairman of the United Spirits. However, he remains the chief mentor of the IPL side with Siddharth on its board.

He is hiding in Londonas he owes more than Rs 9000 crore to Indian banks.
