His walk has certainly changed post his recent success, and now Farhan Akhtar owns a car that matches the strut. At the ongoing Auto Expo in Delhi, Farhan attended the launch of two new Mercedes-Benz offerings and in turn became the first customer of the luxurious M350 CDI SUV.
And that's when he told us of his fondness of SUVs. "I currently drive an SUV and in a place like Mumbai, that's the best thing to own," he said.
He got this car first, but his first car wasn't a Merc, he reminisced, "I was a late driver. I began at 21-22. My first car, a Fiat, was given to me by my father, since he'd bought a Mercedes for himself!" Shortchanged then, Farhan's fascination with the brand has only grown.
Last year, during the shooting of his movie in Berlin, he took out time to visit their showroom as "it's one of the things that you just have to see." But if one had to see Farhan as a car, the actor quips that he'd be the kind that "gets you to places on time."
But right now, he's taking all the time he has for himself and is enjoying his break from work. He says, "I'm on a holiday right now, and the Auto Expo is one of the few things I'm doing in between. I'll keep doing a bit of work here and there since one is so connected these days, but am off for two months now."
