Superstar Aamir Khan has become a proud owner of the new Bajaj V15, a motorcycle that contains metal from a decommissioned aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant.
Khan was inspired to buy the V15 when he found out about the special material used.
The INS Vikrant was used in the 1971 India-Pakistan war.
When Rajiv Bajaj, managing director of Bajaj Auto, found out that his personal friend Khan had placed an order for a V15, he contacted him and got his motorbike customised.
The V15 made for Khan has customised embossing of the initial ‘A’ on the fuel tank and personalised graphic designs on the rear seat cowl.
Bajaj met Khan at his home in Mumbai and personally handed over his customised V15 to him.
“The V is a special bike and I wouldn’t compare it with anything else. It has a piece of history ingrained into it. For me, it’s a proud moment to own a piece of metal from INS Vikrant which was the military pride of India for decades,” Khan said.
