Celebrity Cars: From Prabhas and Hrithik Roshan to M.S. Dhoni and Natasha Poonawalla, Who Drives What?
Perfectly matched with their owners, these shiny wheels deliver opulence and are driven by ambition.
A celebrity’s car isn’t just a ride — it reveals big little nuances of their likes and dislikes, temperament, and even how quickly they’re likely to get away from a mob. This intrigue isn’t just limited to Mumbai, the heartland of Hindi cinema; across India, a passing luxury car sparks similar curiosity. Whether it’s Allu Arjun’s Rolls Royce Phantom making his presence known on the streets of Hyderabad or Shraddha Kapoor’s bright red Lamborghini snaking through the by-lanes of Bandra, cars have become part-status symbol, part-soft reveal. With paparazzi stationed outside gyms, airports or brunch spots, and relentless social media frenzy (and scrutiny), a celebrity’s choice of car most certainly goes beyond functionality. It’s strategic. A vehicle can signal a grand entrance or a discreet exit, a loud flaunting of wealth or a quieter accumulation of it. And sometimes, behind a film set, a cricket pitch or a boardroom, there’s simply a petrolhead at heart, deeply passionate about the cars they drive.
From plush rides to limited edition sports cars, we take a look at some of the most talked-about cars driven by Indian celebrities.
