When Bollywood Badshah
Shah Rukh Khan sought a futuristic spaceship for
himself, he called up DC Design, the famous design studio whom he has
faith in. Trusted automobile designer Dilip Chhabria has been
making vanity vans for SRK for a while now. And this time around, the
actor wanted something extraordinary to be married into
his already established product.
Everyone, who has had the fortune of spending time with SRK, knows that the man is a technocrat. And when it comes to his personal belongings, he is very specific about the design. He loves all things futuristic, but at the same time also wants to keep things clean and classy. Says Chhabria, “It was a challenge for us to marry functionality with the aesthetics of the whole bus and give him an exclusive product with super functionality.“
The main highlight of the bus is the all-futuristic asymmetrical interior lounge section, unlike any other bus in the world.The vehicle also has a driver cabin, master bedroom, fully equipped restroom, integrated makeup section within the lounge section with a floating divider to break up space without looking stuffy , four screens and a recliner in the makeup section. The unique LED-lit glass floor was specially developed along with the contoured wooden roof. All the surfaces were milled from CAD data so they have that precise finish. The front section of the bus hydraulically extends, increasing the lounge section. The bus includes high-end audio and video equipment along with several other gadgets. All switches, lights, sofas, beds, handles and doors are proprietary. The main elements used to develop it are glass, wood, acrylic, carbon and aluminum.
A total of 30,000 man hours and a timeline of two-and-a-half months is what it took to make SRK's whole piece of art.

Days
after we reported about Shah Rukh Khan’s vanity van ramming into TV
actor Karanvir Bohra’s car parked outside a city studio, we have been
informed that Team SRK gave the actor a car for temporary use.Confirms Karanvir, “Yes, Shah Rukh’s team sent a car the very next day and told me I could use it till mine gets fixed. It’s at the workshop now. They have also promised to bear expenses that aren’t covered by insurance and they have taken care of everything.”
So, all okay now? “There was no need to drag SRK’s name into this in the first place, as he wasn’t even in the van. And the driver, who was at fault, apologised. Everything’s been resolved now,” he says.

TV
actor Karanvir Bohra’s car recently had an unpleasant encounter with
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s vanity van. Karanvir, who is
currently shooting for the TV show Qubool Hai, had parked his car
outside a city studio. Says an eyewitness, “SRK’s driver reportedly
rammed into Karanvir’s
car when he was driving in the studio premises. From what we have
heard, the Bollywood actor’s manager has met Karanvir and asked him not
to lodge any complaint. The driver has apologised too. Looks like
Karanvir will now have to approach the insurance guys.” When contacted,
Karanvir said, “I’m in a shot. I can’t talk right now.” SRK remained
unavailable for comment.
