No one needs to know what gifts are circulating around celebrities, they get over-covered by Page 3 anyway! We only need to know how they evade tax while importing these cars?
i completely agree with MS Shruti, all this gifting is just a tax exemption tactics and nothing i dont see any emotion attached to it.
any ways if the celebrities are comfortable with gifting cars, nothing can be done about it.
Getting car as a gift is yet not a common Indian dream. Tata’s Nano or Bajaj’s upcoming cheap car might make it one. But amongst celebrities, car gifting has been a trend. However, we have seen it from a standpoint of a businessman than a gesture of goodwill.
