Merc-ury rising!Hrithik Roshan

Papa Rakesh Roshan has gifted son Hrithik a brand new S class Mercedes after his car was smashed up in an accident on the Lonavla highway a month ago. It can be recalled that Hrithik's car was banged from behind by a speeding car. Luckily, Hrithik escaped unhurt.

Our source says, "Hrithik was travelling in his father's S class Mercedes, when his car met with an accident and was rammed from behind. In spite of such a serious accident, Hrithik escaped unhurt. That's when he realised that the car is built very strong. So he went up to his father and asked for a car of the same make. Doting dad Roshan immediately ordered a similar car for him, which was delivered to him in three days flat. (Normally it takes months for the delivery of a Merc.) Hrithik's S class Merc is golden beige in colour and Hrithik is very proud of his new possession." Earlier the actor used to drive a Porsche Cayenne.
