Bollywood vanity vans have leveled up \u2013 from humble dressing rooms on wheels to jaw-dropping symbols of superstar status. Now, a report recently spilled the beans: Shah Rukh Khan<\/a>\u2019s sprawling van is so huge it can\u2019t squeeze into tight spots, while Ranveer Singh<\/a> takes luxury up a notch with a separate van exclusively for his private chef.<\/p>\n

\"On On the work front, Ranveer Singh and Shah Rukh Khan were seen in cameo role in Aryan Khan’s debut web show. All about the vanity vans of Bollywood<\/p>\n

\u201cRanveer Singh requires three vanity vans when he\u2019s on a shoot schedule. One for his personal use, one is a gym van, one is for his private chef,\u201d a report by Hollywood Reporter India<\/a> quoted a source as saying.<\/p>\n

In the report, vanity van vendor Ketan Raval explained that these vans were initially introduced as a necessity, providing actors with a space to change and access basic facilities while shooting in remote locations. However, over time, they have evolved into a symbol of status.<\/p>\n

Ketan revealed that Shah Rukh Khan\u2019s vanity van is so grand and luxurious that it often can\u2019t be accommodated in tight or cramped spaces when the actor is shooting at remote locations. \u201cShah Rukh sir\u2019s van is so big that sometimes, he can\u2019t take it to those remote locations. I send my van whenever he has to shoot in tight spaces,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ketan revealed many times stars come with special requests, which could also include a black toilet. Speaking about John\u2019s vanity van, Ketan mentioned that while the van features a floor-to-ceiling window, its interiors are designed entirely in black.<\/p>\n

\u201cJohn wanted floor-to-ceiling window so he could look out and let natural light flood the space. But he also insisted on everything being black \u2013 the floor, the walls, the sink, even the toilet. Nothing that isn\u2019t black. So the only light entering is framed by an entirely dark box,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Another designer, Prateek Malewar, who collaborates with his partner Apurva Deshmukh on building vanity vans, revealed that Kangana Ranaut<\/a>\u2019s van features interiors crafted with sheesham wood.<\/p>\n

The report pointed out that the average maintenance cost of a van is around \u20b910-15 lakh. When it comes to costs, a top-tier \u2018super van\u2019 with multi-room layouts and expandable living space can be priced between \u20b92\u20133 crore. A high-end custom van, equipped with Italian marble, luxury recliners, and even gym facilities, ranges from \u20b975 lakh to \u20b91 crore. Mid-range vans, which typically include sofas, a compact pantry, a modest washroom, and a television, cost around \u20b935\u201350 lakh. Meanwhile, a basic van with just a dressing area and air conditioning is priced between \u20b915\u201320 lakh.<\/p>\n
