Gul Panag's passion for cars and bikes has landed her on the jury panel of NDTV Profit Car and Bike Awards, 2010. Gul will be the first Bollywood actor to have been invited to be a jury member of the most credible of all auto industry awards.

Gul owns a Royal Enfield, a BMW F650 Funduro, a custom made 4X4 Scorpio and a BMW 520. Recently Gul was at the jury briefing in Hyderabad where she had the opportunity to test-drive all the nominated cars and bikes.

"I am a motor enthusiast and personally look into the maintenance of my bikes and cars. I keep a complete up-to-date track of all the cars and bikes being launched around the world.

In fact most of my male friends take my guidance before purchasing a new car or bike! It was fun to test drive all the nominated cars and bikes at the meet. I have completely enjoyed the process of selecting the ultimate winners. May the best wins, " says Gul.

Last year Priyanka Chopra and Saif Ali Khan was felicitated as Brand Ambassadors of the year, but till date no prominent Bollywood personality has made it to the list of jury members.

The award function will be held on January 6, 2010 where the winners will be honored. The best of the cars and bikes will be awarded with the coveted trophies at Hyatt Regency, Delhi to coincide with the Auto Expo 2010.
