Vivek Oberoi has got himself the best vanity van in B-Town at a whopping Rs 1.5 crore My Monument On Wheels: A sketch of Vivek Oberoi's outlandish vanity van The Inner View: Blueprint of the same 'Van'ity Fare: Vivek Oberoi Vivek Oberoi's once sagging career has jumpstarted after Shootout At Lokhandwala, allowing the actor to fly high once again. So much so, that he's acquired a swanky new vanity van to retire to every time he gets tired of hanging around a film set. When we ask him about it he laughs and says, "Don't call it a van. It's my Taj Mahal!" And indeed it is. Designed by Bonito Chhabria exclusively for the actor, we get you a digital sneak peek of this groovy baby on wheels (the actor gets possession of the vehicle only on August 15). From the looks of it, this is probably the best we've seen in B-Town yet! Sharing Abhishek's designer The Inner View: A look at the interiors of the van Chhabria, who has also designed vanity vans for Abhishek Bachchan and Riteish Deshmukh, says, "Initially, Vivek wanted just another vanity van, but when he realised that he could get outstanding interiors he developed the van's design with me. I must admit he is very creative and this van is certainly the best I've designed in recent times." The van cost Oberoi Rs 1.5 crore, making it one of the costliest ones in Bollywood. Explaining the layout, Chhabria says that the front portion of the van is an office/ make-up chamber. An automated sofa-cum-bed and fold out bench seating allows room for space when meetings or script reading sessions are over. "The van also has a complete audio-visual package with a 50-inch LCD screen and an on-board media center. A pull-down screen separates the front portion from the rest of the bus for privacy as well." Jacuzzi too! The mid-section of the van has a split-level layout consisting of a queen-size bed with twin roof hatches that open to the sky, a combination of LED and electro-luminescent lighting, a bar unit and a pantry. The gym area with the wardrobe and full-length mirror make up the rear portion, along with a fully integrated jacuzzi and toilet chamber! "When Vivek told me that he wanted a jacuzzi inside his van, I was taken aback because it would take up a lot of place. But he insisted and so we got it," says Chhabria. What's more, since the van has been kitted out with high-end electronic equipment it has two internal generator sets imported all the way from Japan. Now this is what we call custom-made luxury! Special features All interior panels made of aircraft quality composite Power slide down drapes Roof ducted air-conditioning through vents Gym with treadmill, bowflex, elliptical trainer, etc Pantry to be provided with storage space for microwave oven and refrigerator Audio-visual area features U-shaped couch and includes 50-inch LCD display, DVD player, amplifiers and eight speakers

i dont understand why u have to call vivek a "lamer" or a "downer" or even a "loser" (as u stated once before) and then state no offense ....as u very well know that its offensive to the ppl who do like vivek!!!

im sorry to say this but i truly find ur comments very rude and offensive when theres a topic about vivek... there are better words to describe one's disliking towards sumone rather than using such words, which i, as a vivek fan, find rude and very well offensive.

Vivek did have a sagging career, he used to sign bad films, and for a while most of his films flopped badly at the box office. It is only after SOAL that Vivek is getting back good offers, and his career is looking good
