Shah Rukh Khan gifts Mercedes-AMG GLE 43 Coupe to Salman Khan; but why this car?

It appears Bollywood celebrities have taken their craving for good wheels a few notches higher. Be it a birthday fete or celebration marking the success of a movie, cars are proving to be their perfect gifting solutions. While actor Ranveer Singh's brand new Aston Martin Rapide has been the talk of the B-town from the past couple of days, actor Salman Khan's brand new Mercedes-Benz has taken over it.

Well, you might be wondering why that bit of news should matter when it is a known fact that actor Salman Khan already has a fleet of luxury cars vying for space in his backyard garage. The new Mercedes-Benz may be just another addition but it has a special buzz around it. Because the person who has gifted it to him is none other than the 'Bollywood's Baadshah, Shah Rukh Khan. Although there is no official word from both the actors about their newly found love, reports suggest that the former gifted it in appreciation for making a cameo in his upcoming film. Giving credence to the excitement was when Salman was spotted in a yet to be registered luxury contraption cruising. We too believe the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE 43 4MATIC is the luxury car gifted by Shah Rukh.
