Bollywood’s King Khan surely knows how to live his life king size. So, it tow with his king size lifestyle, tech savvy Khan has bought a king size 14 meters long van designed by Dilip Chhabarai. Dilip says, “We delivered Shah Rukh his van a week ago. It took us four whole months to build it, making it one of our most ambitious projects. Normally, we design vans that are eight to nine metres in length. But this one’s 14 metres long. But since a 14-metre van can’t be easily navigated, we’ve used a hydraulic system that enables the van to reduce in size when in motion. It can later expand to double its size when stationary.”
Describing the look of the van, Dilip says, “The van is a Volvo that is available in India, but what distinguishes this van from that of others is its chassis. We’ve used the biggest one. With five rooms inside, SRK will have the comfort of a lounge with bar, a gym, an office, a bedroom and a wash room with a shower. And since SRK is a technofreak, we’ve designed the van keeping that in mind, with an abundant scope for technology. The entire van has dual system for everything and new software has been created and programmed on the computer, converting all switches to touch screen. So, when SRK’s in a party mood, the lights can work as party lights, and when he wants to relax, the lights can shift to relax mode.” SRK has given his personal touch in the designing of the van and so Dilip adds, “SRK was keen to have certain things his way, so he has put in a lot of effort in the project. And the result of course, is one of the best designs we’ve created.”
