The restauranteur bought the S 350d luxury sedan. The S 350d variant cost around Rs 1.60 crore, ex-showroom.

Chef Pilla’s first car was S-Class and he drove the car around on his own through busy city roads to become more familiar and get used to with the car. When he bought the S-Class, he shared a pic of his taking delivery of the car and the picture came with a caption that said, “Dreams are meant to be chased and caught…
In my 43 years of life, I have never owned even a cycle. I didn’t have a craze towards cars or driving. Even during my 15years in London, when I could have gotten my hands on any good luxury vehicle, I never got one. Till this day I never felt the urge or need for it. But now with the hectic work schedule and the continuous travel, it is becoming tedious without a vehicle!…”
