When we think of Bollywood celebrities who drive around in luxury cars, we think that they are extremely arrogant and do not have a touch with reality. However, there are a number of Bollywood celebrities who, despite attaining a lot of fame, are still super humble. Recently, the popular actor Vijay Raaz, who is known for his impeccable acting skills, was spotted buying vegetables from a street-side vendor and then driving off in his Rs 1.5 crore Land Rover Defender luxury SUV.
The video showing the humble actor Vijay Raaz on the road buying vegetables has been shared on Instagram by Desi Bollywood on their page. In this short clip, we can note that the actor has just bought himself a few Moringa drumsticks from a vegetable vendor on the side of the road, soon after which he opens the front passenger door and sits in his Land Rover Defender.
From the video, we can note that Vijay Raaz owns the Land Rover Defender 110 HSE variant. It is finished in the classy shade of Santorini Black, which is a very popular color choice amongst celebrity Defender buyers. His SUV can also be seen equipped with what appears to be a snorkel on the front left A-pillar.
A number of netizens have shared this video and have commented on it, stating that Vijay Raaz is one of the best and most humble actors in Bollywood. The post also has a lot of comments referring to him with his famous “Kauwa Biryani” scene from the movie “Run.” One of the netizens highlighted that they didn't know that the actor owns a Land Rover Defender.
The Land Rover Defender is currently one of the most popular luxury SUVs in the country. A ton of Bollywood celebrities, business tycoons, influencers, and others have bought it. The list of celebrities who own one includes Sunny Deol (owns two actually — one is a standard 110 and the other is the Defender Octa), Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty, Anil Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan, Neha Kakkar, and many others.
Recently, the “Gadar” superstar Sunny Deol and the super popular Malayalam movie star Dulquer Salmaan became the first two Bollywood celebrities to own the Land Rover Defender Octa. For those who may not be aware, the Defender Octa is the more special version of this already special luxury SUV. Basically, it is a standard Defender on steroids.
The Defender Octa’s main highlights include flared wheel arches, a reworked front bumper, a larger grille area, and exclusive 22-inch wheels shod with all-season tyres. Several ‘OCTA’ badges can also be found on the exterior. Apart from the design, it comes equipped with a much more powerful 4.4-litre BMW-sourced twin-turbo V8 petrol mild-hybrid engine.
This motor is capable of producing 635 bhp and 750 Nm, and it also goes up to 800 Nm in the ‘launch mode’. Also, what's impressive is that despite its size and weight, it can still reach from 0–100 kmph in just 3.8 seconds. It also comes with Four Wheel Drive (4WD) hardware and a new 6D Dynamics suspension (that uses hydraulically interlinked dampers to eliminate the need of having to use a physical anti-roll bar).
