The connection between the residents of tinsel town and automobiles is one that never fades away. While several celebs have never been shy of expressing their love for these machines, some of them go one step further to make their presence felt at launches and unveils. The 2016 edition of the expo was no different; it also saw myriad stars and sportsmen grace various automotive events. Here’s a look at some of them...

Katrina Kaif

The footfalls went crashing through the roof even on media days. And one of the most crowded events was the Jaguar XE unveil that saw Bollywood bombshell Katrina Kaif as the guest for the occasion. While we couldn’t get our eyes off the red Jaguar, we may also admit the same about the lady in black.

Ranbir Kapoor

The ‘Tamasha’ actor is known to endorse cars as can be seen with his association with brands like Renault. But this time, Ranbir was seen having a bit of a good time with two-wheelers as he launched Hero MotoCorp’s first completely in-house bike, the Splendor iSmart 110. While the rumour mill is abuzz with his alleged breakup with Katrina Kaif, the duo did pretty well to avoid each other despite attending two different events on the same day in the same venue.

Alia Bhatt and Virat Kohli

German luxury car maker Audi pulled the wraps off the R8 V10 Plus during the expo for a mind-boggling Rs 2.47 crore. On top of it, the presence of Indian Test cricket captain Virat Kohli and Bollywood star Alia Bhatt made it an even more memorable event at the expo.

John Abraham

Yamaha might have disappointed petrol heads by not bringing in the expected offerings at the expo, but it sure did fulfil the fantasy of the Bollywood geeks among the ones at the venue for the launch of its MT-09. Bollywood hunk John Abraham who is known for his love for bikes did the honours and also tried a hand at the bike during the event.

Sachin Tendulkar

The launch of the BMW 7-series was one of the most sought after events of the Auto Expo and who better than Master Blaster and cricketing icon Sachin Tendulkar to carry out proceedings. The sporting legend, who is also the brand ambassador of the German carmaker in India, was seen dressed suavely in front of a white BMW and was not shy to strike a pose or two for the shutterbugs.

Akshay Kumar

The ‘Khiladi of Bollywood’ revealed a secret when he attended the ongoing Auto Expo by telling his fans and the audience that he owns a Honda CRF 1000L Africa Twin. He personally vouched for it and also posed for the cameras with Honda’s first-of-its-kind mini-bike Navi.
