Bollywood celebrities are known for their flamboyant lifestyle off the big screen as well. So keeping up with their magnanimous image, Bollywood celebrities are known for using much more than simple words to express their gratitude. Here are couple of unbelievably expensive gifts that Bollywood superstars have given their famous friends, says a report in The Times of India .
Shahrukh Khan- The badshah of Bollywood is known to maintain a high-profile lifestyle off the silver screen as well. Over the years, King Khan has gifted expensive tokens of appreciation to his friends and well-wishers. Shahrukh recently came in the news for gifting Abhishek Bachchan a Harley Davidson motorbike. From what we can gauge from SRK and Abhishek's tweets, SRK gifted Junior B a Harley after the latter gifted SRK a bicycle! Shahrukh had before that made headlines when he gifted friend and director Farah Khan a Mercedes Benz E Class for their film 'Om Shanti Om' and a Hyundai SUV after the release of 'Main Hoon Na'. Even though his superhero film 'Ra.One' did not live up to the expectations, SRK spent Rs 1 crore each while gifting Arjun Rampal, Anubhav Sinha and Rajinikanth, a BMW each.
Vidhu Vinod Chopra- Now this is one 'gift' that has stayed for long in public memory. In a publicized event of sorts, filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra gifted a Rolls Royce Phantom to megastar Amitabh Bachchan for his performance in the film 'Eklavya'. What followed however, was an altogether different story. Soon after Chopra's gift of a flashy pair of wheels to Big B, news of Big B returning the same to the showroom the next day appeared. If that wasn't all, this 'gimmick' was seen as a way of waiving off taxes by Amitabh Bachchan. According to reports Big B charged just rupee one for 'Eklavya' and hence, Chopra gave him this extremely expensive gift.
