<p>Cars are indeed special for celebrity couple ‘Golden Star’ Ganesh and his wife Shilpa. <strong>All their fleet of cars are black in colour. Why? Shilpa thinks black is not only attractive but has a class of its own. <br /></strong></p>.<p><strong>“When Ganesh and I were dating, the car played a major role in our lives. We could never sit out in the open as Ganesh would be mobbed. So most of our meetings and conversations would happen in the car. That’s why it is so special,” Shilpa tells Metrolife. <br /><br />For his birthday, Shilpa has gifted her husband a Mercedes GL 350 which costs Rs 95 lakh on road. <br /><br />She confesses that she couldn’t think of a better gift on his birthday. “I wanted him to have the best and Ganesh is crazy about cars,” she beams. <br /><br />Shilpa says that the car was booked almost five months in advance. “I test drove a couple of cars but nothing impressed me as much as the Mercedes GL 350. I fell in love with it at first sight. And I wanted a black one since all our cars are black. The car has really sophisticated and plush leather finish, like none other,”explains Shilpa. Ganesh is certainly excited and confesses that he can’t wait to take off work to go on a long drive. Ganesh is just as crazy about cars and the car accessories. <br /><br />“I wanted the car to wear a sporty look, therefore I got the manufacturers to import accessories worth Rs 18 lakh from Germany,” he shares. Ganesh says that he and Shilpa would like to drive to Coorg in it. <br /><br />“It really depends on how long I can stay off work,” he says. Shilpa, Ganesh and their daughter Charitriya took the delivery of the car on June 30. <br /><br />Talking specifically about how the car was redone to look the way Ganesh wanted it to be, Avivah N, executive director, Aksoyn Motors on Mysore Road says, “The Mercedes GL 350 is one of our best products. Ganesh wanted to fit the AMR styling body kit, which has been imported from Germany and fit according to his requirements. The additional fittings in the car are the bumper, roof rack and a rare entertainment system where one can watch movies on two different screens.” <br /><br />Ganesh’s birthday celebrations will begin on July 2 at midnight at Kanteerava Studio, where he is starting the audio work for one of the his films.<br /><br /> “Fireworks will go off at the stroke of 12. Ganesh’s fans will be visiting his house throughout the day. We will have a family get-together, in the latter part of the day,” concludes Shilpa. </strong></p>
