In an era where celebrity lifestyles are closely followed and emulated, the news of a star acquiring a luxury item often creates a buzz among fans and followers. Recently, the Indian music scene buzzed with excitement as Vishal Mishra, famed for his chartbuster ‘Pehle Bhi Main’ from the movie ‘Animal’, made headlines by purchasing a new vehicle with an eye-watering price tag of Rs 2.96 crores. The purchase comes hot on the heels of Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor being seen cruising the city streets in his new luxury Bentley with star wife Alia Bhatt.
Taking to his Instagram account, Vishal Mishra shared the joy of his significant acquisition. His social media profile was adorned with pictures and videos that were a testimony to his latest indulgence—a magnificent black Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS 600. The singer looked the epitome of pride as he posed next to his gleaming automotive addition. The showroom pictures further enveloped a sense of familial joy as Vishal’s parents were also captured, their faces aglow with pride beside the opulent car. Reflecting an age-old tradition and familial roots, a short clip accompanying the images showed Vishal’s mother performing a puja ceremony, a ritual blessing before the Maybach GLS 600 was driven home.
Renowned for its unparalleled luxury and comfort, the Maybach stands tall in the luxury automobile segment. Reports from automotive website Carwale.com confirm that this model comes with a hefty price tag that underscores its status as a top-tier vehicle.
Gratitude was at the core of the singer’s caption as he welcomed the ritzy ride into his life. “So grateful. Maybach GLS 600. Ye sab aapke pyaar se (all this is because of your love). Jai Mata Di!!”, wrote Vishal, attributing his success and the ability to enjoy such finer things in life to the love and support of his fans. His followers were quick to respond, with actor Vikrant Massey among the many who expressed their affection with red hearts and the evil eye amulet emojis, symbolizing protection and good luck.
In related updates, filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for directing the movie ‘Animal’, opened up about his approach to dealing with online criticism and trolling. With the public spotlight often leading to uninvited scrutiny, Vanga’s statements during a chat with Galatta Plus highlighted his selective engagement with provocateurs. Preferring to maintain a respectful demeanor towards those who appreciate his work, he depicted his interaction with critics as a measured approach akin to playing defensive strokes against bouncers in cricket. Emphasizing that he does not provoke others, Vanga revealed that while he does not get easily provoked, there are times when he feels the need to respond to certain provocations.
The interesting parallel between the film ‘Animal’ and this instance of luxury indulgences adds a fascinating layer to the tapestry of celeb lifestyles. While the movie explores darker themes, the real lives of its creators and contributors, such as Mishra and Vanga, showcase moments of success, celebration, and sometimes, the need to stand up to adversities, albeit of a different kind.
In summary, Vishal Mishra’s recent splurge on a luxury vehicle signifies more than just an artist enjoying the fruits of his labor; it highlights the intersection of success, gratitude, and the challenges that come with a public persona.
In this instance, the acquisition of an expensive automobile not only ratifies Mishra’s stature as a successful artist but also reflects the traditional nuances of his background with the significance given to rituals and family. It also reminds us that beyond their on-screen or studio prowess, celebrities navigate a complex world of public scrutiny and personal choices that continue to fascinate and resonate with their audiences. With wheels set in motion, both literally and figuratively, Vishal Mishra continues his journey on the high road of musical acclaim and luxury.
