Bollywood Actor-Director Farhan Akhtar Buys Mercedes Maybach GLS600 Worth 3 Crore
Festive season in India is considered an auspicious time, and during this period, many people prefer buying new cars. Not just the common man, but it looks like even celebrities in India also follow the same trend. Recently, a video of Bollywood actor Farhan Akhtar surfaced online, where he is seen getting out of his brand-new Maybach GLS600 in Bandra.
The video has been shared by Buzzzooka Scrolls on their YouTube channel. In the video, we see a Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 entering a building in Bandra. The SUV is parked outside, and we see Farhan Akhtar getting out of the rear seat, while the driver occupies the front seat.
He is not alone in the car. He hands over the car key to the valet and walks towards the vloggers and paparazzi waiting outside the building premises. Farhan Akhtar poses for pictures along with Shibani Dandekar, and after that, the couple walks into the building.
The car had a flower garland in front of the grille. The actor might have driven the car directly from the dealership to this place in Bandra.
The Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 has been an extremely popular SUV among celebrities and rich businessmen in the country. It has almost become a common sight in B-Town. Farhan Akhtar opted for the green shade, which looks extremely beautiful on this SUV.
