The first car is always special. It holds a unique place in the hearts of many. Some people still have their first car in the garage, while others have sold it to make room for better or even more expensive cars. Just like everyone else, Indian celebrities also had a moment when they bought their first car. Here, we have a list of some famous Indians and their first cars.
