Aaja Meri Gaadi Mein Baith Jaa: John Abraham with his new Maruti Gypsy King |
John Abraham loves bikes, so you'd expect him to add a new one to his collection, but he has now gone and bought a modest four-wheeler Maruti Gypsy King for himself.
The Gypsy is white and the actor has requested some modifications in it. The actor admits, "I bought the car a few days back.
The Maruti Gypsy was the first car that my dad had booked but we never ended up buying it.
Gypsy is like one of those crushes you have in school and it is always special."
Making it usefulJohn elaborates, "Although it is custom-made, it is built with utility in mind. Swapnil Nalavade helped me with the modifications and the final outcome is exactly what I desired."
He adds, "I took advice from friends and Hormazd Sorabjee (Editor of Autocar India Magazine) before buying the car. He recommended that I get the new Gypsy King as it is 'the' car.
My first love remains...But the actor's first love remains bikes, "A biker will always remain a biker. Motorcycling is in my blood. I just rode my bike last night. Since the gypsy has just come in, I have been driving around in it.
It is like going back to basics. I have always been more of a SUV person. The previous cars of mine included Prado, Tata Sierra, and now Audi Q7."
When told that most stars use his current choice of wheels for their bodyguards and security staff, he laughs, "I am the biggest security for myself."
