What are you driving and why?

I am currently driving a Lamborghini Urus SE, Ferrari 296 GTS, Porsche Macan Turbo EV and Bentley Bentayga Azure. Each one serves a different purpose – one is my daily chauffeur-driven car, one is my night drive car, and one is my weekend car. Each car represents a different mood and vibe, and that’s why I drive them.

What’s next on your wish list?

My next car down the line is a Rolls-Royce Spectre.

The most fun you’ve had in a car?

The most fun I’ve had is with my Lamborghini Urus. I had the earlier Urus as well, and it continues to be my favourite.

Your dream money-no-object car?

It would definitely be the Bugatti Chiron.

Who is your all-time greatest motorsport hero?

The evergreen Michael Schumacher. He has always been my motorsport hero.

Your Favourite road?

My favourite roads currently are the Coastal Road and the Atal Setu in Mumbai, because they have no signals and no speed bumps.

What’s on your automotive bucket list?

I’m very intrigued by the Ferrari 12Cilindri, or maybe even the Ferrari Testarossa that’s being launched.

What would you do with your last litre of fuel?

I would probably use it to race, because I love driving fast and going on race tracks.

Your ideal 5-car garage would be?

Rolls-Royce Phantom

Porsche Macan Turbo EV

Lamborghini Urus SE

Ferrari 296 GTS

Lamborghini Revuelto

What was your first car?

My first car was a Honda Civic in 2010.
