Bollywoods Billionaire Garage: From Rolls-Royce to Lamborghini, Stars Flaunt Luxe Wheels
Bollywood’s love for luxury is no secret, but the latest trend sweeping the industry is all about horsepower, head-turning designs and multi-crore price tags. From Nargis Fakhri rolling in a new Rolls-Royce to Shraddha Kapoor and Janhvi Kapoor zipping around in sleek Lamborghinis, luxury cars have officially become the hottest accessories in tinsel town. What was once an indulgence reserved for top-tier superstars is now a widespread phenomenon across generations of actors.

The latest buzz began when Nargis Fakhri was spotted cruising in her elegant Rolls-Royce, a symbol of timeless sophistication. Known for their handcrafted precision and unmatched comfort, Rolls-Royce cars have long been a status symbol among global celebrities. Nargis’s bold choice immediately sparked chatter online, with fans praising her exquisite taste and calling it one of the most impressive star purchases of the year.

But the Rolls-Royce isn’t the only showstopper in Bollywood’s garages. Younger actors are bringing in the supercar wave with Lamborghinis becoming the new go-to indulgence. Shraddha Kapoor, often admired for her grounded lifestyle and simplicity, surprised fans when she arrived at an event in her stunning Lamborghini. The vibrant sports car, known for its aggressive styling and thunderous engine, revealed a different side of the actor bold, confident and embracing the thrill of luxury.

Joining her in the Lamborghini club is Janhvi Kapoor, who has developed a reputation for her sleek, modern choices in fashion, fitness and now automobiles. Her gleaming Lamborghini has quickly become one of the most photographed cars in Mumbai, often seen speeding past paparazzi or parked proudly outside film studios. Janhvi’s car, customised with premium interiors, reflects her growing stature in the industry and her taste for futuristic aesthetics.

The trend isn’t limited to these three stars. Industry insiders say that the rise in multi-crore car purchases is linked to several factors: higher incomes from films and endorsements, greater brand partnerships, and the influence of global celebrity culture. Social media has also played a major role. Platforms like Instagram have transformed luxury cars into aspirational lifestyle symbols, making them as important as designer outfits and holiday destinations.

Another significant shift is the growing popularity of cars as investments in personal branding. Top actors now recognise that their off-screen image can be enhanced by their choice of wheels. Whether it’s an electric Mercedes EQS, a classic Bentley, or a fiery Ferrari, each car acts as an extension of a star’s personality. For many, the car they drive represents success, taste and individuality in a fiercely competitive industry.

Car dealers in Mumbai and Delhi have confirmed a surge in inquiries from actors and influencers, with limited-edition models being snapped up faster than ever. High-end brands like Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, Porsche and Maserati are now frequently seen on Indian roads mostly driven by Bollywood’s elite.

As luxury cars continue to dominate the spotlight, one thing is clear: Bollywood is not just raising the glamour quotient on-screen but also redefining it off-screen one supercar at a time.
