| If an actor is known by the van he keeps, then Shah Rukh Khan is the undisputed baadshah of Bollywood. The actor recently gifted himself a personalised vanity van designed by Dilip Chhabaria. The biggest van in Bollywood so far, it has been designed keeping SRK's tastes in mind. DC, as Dilip is popularly known, says, "We delivered Shah Rukh his van a week ago. It took us four whole months to build it, making it one of our most ambitious projects. Normally, we design vans that are eight to nine metres in length. But this one's 14 metres long. But since a 14-metre van can't be easily navigated, we've used a hydraulic system that enables the van to reduce in size when in motion. It can later expand to double its size when stationary." Describing the van, DC says, "The van is a Volvo that is available in India, but what distinguishes this van from that of others is its chassis. We've used the biggest one. With five rooms inside, SRK will have the comfort of a lounge with bar, a gym, an office, a bedroom and a wash room with a shower. And since SRK is a techno-freak, we've designed the van keeping that in mind, with an abundant scope for technology. đ˛đ˛đ˛The entire van has dual system for everything and new software has been created and programmed on the computer, converting all switches to touch screen. So, when SRK's in a party mood, the lights can work as party lights, and when he wants to relax, the lights can shift to relax mode." Telling us about Shah Rukh's involvement in the making of the van, DC adds, "SRK was keen to have certain things his way, so he has put in a lot of effort in the project. And the result of course, is one of the best designs we've created." SRK did not reply to our messages urging him to comment on his latest toy. |
