Bollywood and luxury vehicles go hand in hand. It is no surprise that Bollywood actors own some of the most exotic rides in the country. Despite being uber-expensive to own and maintain, these vehicles often become a style statement for celebs. Luxury vehicles are the first choice of Bollywood stars, all thanks to the supreme comfort and luxury that these four-wheelers bring to the table. While luxury SUVs and sedans are quite common amongst celebs, very few take the leap to buy something different and out of the box like a luxury MPV. So today we have come across the Mercedes Benz V-Class, owned by Akshay Kumar in a YouTube video by ‘Cars For You’.
