"I have had a longstanding interest in vintage and classic cars. As a kid, I grew up seeing Ambassadors, Fiats and Standard Heralds at home. During vacations, I visited my grandparents who owned Chevrolets and Austins—classic cars, as they are now known. That meant trips to Shimla, Manali and Mussoorie. Classic cars, to me, came to symbolise freedom. Collecting them allows me to savour the glamour and finesse of these timeless treasures. These beauties have always been part royalty and part art. I now own 72 classics (acquired over 10 years), including several historic Packards, Cadillacs, Buicks, Chevrolets, Dodges, a Pierce-Arrow, a Willys-Knight, the only Stutz in the country, an Auburn Boattail Speedster, two Rolls-Royce stunners, two Mercedes classics, two Bugatti models and the extremely rare Minerva Type AL."
