That Bollywood celebs live their lives in the fast lane is a known fact. From Mercedes Benz and Audi to BMW and Rolls Royce, they own mean machines that score high on the glamour and luxury scale.
But what's also interesting is that a lot of these celebs are superstitious about their vehicle number plates, so much so that they have the same number combination for all their vehicles. A personalised vehicle registration number may come at its own cost, but then again, moolah has never been a deterrent for our celebs, has it?
From numerology to generally harbouring a preference for a certain numerical combination, several B-town celebs are guilty of playing this numbers' game. Hitlist throws light on this fascinating quirk that our stars boast of...
Shah Rukh Khan
King Khan owns an impressive line-up of cars and all of them have the same number, 555. Moreover, sources say that it's not just his cars that carry this number. SRK apparently insists that his associates too have this number in their mobile phone numbers.

Shahid Kapoor
Like Amitabh Bachchan, Shahid Kapoor too believes that his birth date is lucky for him. His birth date is February 25 and two and five add up to seven.
Shahid Kapoor's newly acquired mean machine bears the number 7000 on its number plate as it adds up to seven. The actor considers it to be his lucky number as his birth date (February 25) adds up to seven.
The actor has a Range Rover with 700 on the number plate and his newly acquired Jaguar has the number 7000. His Harley Davidson bike too has 700 on the number plate. Clearly, the actor loves the number seven.
Ranbir Kapoor
Ranbir Kapoor has a soft corner for the number 8, as it is his mother Neetu Kapoor's birth date. This is the reason why the number plates of his Audi, Range Rover and Mercedes Benz bear the number 8.
