Actor Ram Kapoor wasn't the first Indian. Which cricketer beat him to the Rs 5 crore Lamborghini Urus?
Ram Kapoor has recently drawn significant public interest—not only due to his reappearance on screen but also because of his latest addition to his luxury car collection : a Lamborghini Urus SE . Several media outlets had earlier speculated that the popular actor was the first Indian to own this high-performance SUV. However, Kapoor has now addressed those claims and provided a more accurate version of events. While promoting his upcoming digital series Mistry, Kapoor spoke exclusively to NDTV , sharing his perspective on the excitement around his new vehicle. During the interaction, he clarified that he was not the first Indian to purchase the Lamborghini Urus SE. In fact, according to him, nearly four or five others had already bought the same model before him. However, what sets his car apart is its unique shade—making him possibly the first Indian to own the vehicle in that particular colour variant. Adding further context to the discussion, Kapoor mentioned that cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar also owns the same SUV model. This effectively quashes the notion that Kapoor was the original Indian buyer of the car. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mini House for 60 sqm for Seniors with Toilet and Bath (Click Here) Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo For those unfamiliar with the model, the Lamborghini Urus SE is a luxury plug-in hybrid SUV that officially debuted in the Indian market in April 2024.

Karan Johar's famous actor friend got scammed after ordering a designer outfit, fans guess who The answer is Ram Kapoor. The actor, known for his impressive roles on TV and in films, once revealed in an interview that he sold second-hand cars in the US to support himself before making it big in the entertainment industry. Today, his own car collection is worth ₹22 crore. Earlier this week, it was revealed that Ram has upgraded his luxury car collection. He added a sleek Lamborghini Urus SE SUV, worth over ₹4.57 crore, to his impressive fleet. A post shared by Car Crazy India® (@ Today, his fleet boasts an array of high-end vehicles, including the Porsche 911 Carrera S worth an estimated ₹1.8 crore, and Porsche 992 Turbo S (approx. ₹3.6 crore). The actor also owns a Ferrari Portofino M worth around ₹4.5 crore. He also has a Range Rover Autobiography (around ₹4.99 crore), and Mercedes-AMG G 63 (around ₹3.60 crore). The total of the car fleet full of luxury cars is over ₹22 crore. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Ram Kapoor shared that his decision to pursue acting strained his relationship with his father, following which he used to sell second-hand cars to support himself. He said, "When I was 13-14, I told him I wanted to become an actor. He didn't take me seriously, particularly since I was just a little kid, and he was a very big man. For him, his company was his legacy and everything, and he wanted his only son to take it forward. So, when I said I didn't want to take over his company, I understood what he must have gone through. Then I fled to America and joined the acting school of my choice. I graduated somehow, returned to India, and started meeting people (for work). I had to prove not only to my father but to my entire family that I was going to do this. I knew everyone was waiting for me to fail because they thought that would bring me back to the 'right track.'" Ram added that when he refused to join his father's business and ran away to America to study acting, his father stopped talking to him and sending him money. He added, "I was in America on my own, making money for food and rent. I worked at Starbucks, sold second-hand vehicles, etc. But had that not happened, I wouldn't have been the man I am today." Ram is best known for portraying Jai Walia in Kasamh Se and Ram Kapoor in Bade Achhe Lagte Hain. He has also appeared in several Bollywood films, including Student of the Year, Humshakals, Yudhra, and Thappad, among others. He was most recently seen in the web series Khalbali Records. Ram, who has been in the news for his drastic weight loss, will next be seen in a detective show, Mistry. It will be out on JioHotstar on June 27.
