LUDHIANA | TUESDAY | 23 SEPTEMBER 2025 Hot rods, hot bikes & speed Dishu Records with Honda NM4 Sheetal T AKSHIT KATYAL WITH MERCEDES G580 Mansehaj Singh with Lamborghini Gallardo Final Edition Mohali witnessed the ultimate supercar experience as Lamborghinis, Porsches, AMGs and Hayabusas criss-crossed the roads of Tricity on Sunday HE quiet Sunday air of Mohali was broken by a chorus of revving engines, the kind that rattles the chest as much as it excites the ear. The Origins of Speed Arena rolled into CP67 Mall with a roar, not so much a car show as a declaration — Punjab and Haryana’s love for speed has officially found a stage. The morning began at Chandigarh’s Sector 8 with a convoy of supercars slipping through the still-sleepy city, coffee at Banur, and finally, an arena where Lamborghinis, Porsches, AMGs and Hayabusas gleamed in the sun. Controlled drifts drew cheers, exhaust notes echoed like battle cries, and for a few hours, CP 67 backyard was transformed into a petrolhead’s playground. Vipul Kumar, the man behind the movement, has been photographing cars for 15 years and nurturing this community for nearly half a decade. “We’ve met every Sunday for four years,” he explained, gesturing at the line of machines from Chandigarh, Patiala, Sangrur and Malerkotla. “This isn’t about vanity plates — it’s about our bond, our love for speed. Chandigarh has the enthusiasm, and the market is only growing.” Sector 11’s Mansehaj Singh brought out his Lamborghini Gallardo Final Edition, a car once owned by actor John Abraham. “The LP5502 is a pure rear-wheeldrive machine. Zero to 100 in under four seconds, top speed 320,” he rattled off. His collection also includes a Porsche Taycan, a 1993 Mini Cooper, a BMW M2, a 1967 Beetle and 21st century 2018 New Beetle-last edition. “But rear-wheel drive — that’s where my heart is,” he grinned . Among his favourite route is driving up to Dharampur. In contrast, Paonta Sahib’s Devvrat Rana arrived with a sleeper saloon — one of only five Jaguar XFRs in India, tuned to 600 bhp. “I love cars that look understated until you put your foot down,” he said, noting it’s his first supercar, though his Harley Davidson Low Rider S, Triumph Street Triple 765 and After Punjabi, NORA FATEHI teases Bengali TRACK Recently, Nora Fatehi announced her Punjabi song with Yo Yo Honey Singh, I’m So Rich. But even before the song drops, Nora has sparked fresh excitement with her latest banter with musician Sanjoy, where she teased the idea of singing in Bengali. In the playful exchange, Sanjoy suggested she try a Bengali chorus. Nora, who has already performed in Arabic, Swahili and Punjabi, admitted that Bengali feels ‘beautiful but intimidating’. “What if I sound silly?” she asked. To which Sanjoy reassured, “You won’t. We’re going to celebrate it.” The moment quickly turned into a lighthearted commitment, with Nora exclaiming, “Guys, I don’t know what this man’s got me doing… we’re doing a song in Bengali. Pray for me!” Sanjoy even threw in a potential hook line: “Ki maya, Lagaiso.” If this experiment comes alive, Bengali fans could soon see Nora lend her voice to a chorus in their own language. “It’s not just about being global, it’s about celebrating every culture authentically,” Nora shared. c m y b a heavily modified Polo prove his garage is far from quiet. Chandigarh’s Gursewak Singh, one of SEPH’s earliest members, showcased his Porsche Cayenne GTS and spoke about road trips to Goa and beyond. Meanwhile, Akshit Katyal turned heads with a freshly delivered Mercedes G580 — an all-electric brute that joined his Porsche 911 and MG Cyberster. “I’ve always liked being a little different,” he admitted, talking about colour customisations and airport road runs.There was nostalgia too. Sector 18’s Rapsy Dhalla rolled in with his Mercedes SL55 AMG, relishing Sunday morning loops through Chandigarh’s 8–9–10 sectors. The car’s price tag is less discussed than its special number plate ending in 0055, a badge of pride he secured at an auction. Alongside it, his Porsche Carrera S and BMW Z4 add the European flair to his garage. And then there were the bikes. Divyanshu Gulati, better known as Dishu Records, arrived on something rare enough to deserve its own spotlight — a Honda NM4 Vultus, the only one in India. Imported from the UK and nicknamed “Batman,” the bike is futuristic to the point of disbelief. “It’s made for plains, not mountains,” he explained, though he’s ridden it across Jaisalmer and up the Himalayan Expressway. Dishu’s biker group, Busa Brothers, has been riding Hayabusas for over a decade, and this year he added a 25th anniversary edition straight from Bengaluru, breaking it in with a ride to Kanyakumari. By the time the crowd drifted towards the post-event breakfast, the Arena had proved its point. This wasn’t about selling cars or making noise — it was about culture, camaraderie, and stories written in tyre marks and exhaust fumes. The engines may have cooled, but anticipation for the next ignition is already simmering. DEVVRAT RANA WITH JAGUAR XFR RAPSY DHALLA WITH MARCEDES BENZ SL55 Pankaj Kapur is back!

Oblivious to this fandom, Kapur entered in all humility, taking questions, answering in detail. What took him so long to do another Punjabi film? Kapur rests the blame on the Punjabi industry, “I was eager, but nobody approached me. Thanks to Harry that he came with a script that I liked very much and here we are,” he beams. The trailer shows an intense story, Kapur as a hapless, helpless father of four girls. He runs from the pillar-to-post as the perspective in-laws of his eldest daughter demand Rs four lakh. “Whenever a story like this is told, it is a reflection of the times we live in with an aim to bring in the much-needed change. If it brings awareness about the wrong practice, then it is a win,” says Kapur. Three National Awards, name and fame, what is it that Kapur still longs for? “Hazaaron khwahishen aisi ki har khwahish pe dam nikle, bahut nikle mire armaan lekin phir bhi kam nikle,” says Kapur. “A lot has ❝ My best wishes to those who reach the Oscars. But we should not become dependent on that. We should strive to make excellent cinema for our audince. come my way, along with the lesson that sabar (patience) is most significant of it all.” Fond of cooking and sipping chai, Kapur when not acting, lives life with gratitude, spending time with family. To aspiring actors, he says, “Work hard and be honest towards your job. Train yourself, like you educate yourself in any other field. Don’t expect overnight success. Even if it comes, it won’t last. If you want a result, then you must work hard towards it to be able to reach a point where you have the ability to carry it on in a consistent manner. The cast and crew of Raavi De Kande say working with Kapur is a master class in acting! The film also stars Harish Verma, Dheeraj Kumar, BN Sharma. It hits cinemas on October 10.
