Bollywood stars, number plates and superstitions

Dubbed India’s first angry young man, Amitabh Bachchan allegedly prefers the number two for all his cars. Reports suggest, Big B’s birthday falls on October 11 and the total adds up to two, hence the star prefers this number for each of his car.

2. Shah Rukh Khan

King Khan owns an impressive line-up of cars and all of them have the same number, 555. Moreover, its not just his cars that carry this number, apparently the superstar of Bollywood allegedly insists that his associates too have this number. His personal staff and even most of his production house members have 555 as part of their mobile numbers! SRK isn’t known to be superstitious about the number, but it is said he is particularly fond of it.

Like Amitabh Bachchan, Shahid Kapoor, too, believes that his birth date is lucky for him. His birth date is February 25 and two and five add up to seven.

5. Ranbir Kapoor

The youngest Kapoor has an obsession for the number 8. Hence, all of Ranbir’s cars are seen sporting this number. Reports suggest, that the 33-year-old star’s mother, Neetu Kapoor’s, birth date falls on July 8 and hence Ranbir has a soft corner for this number.

7. Riteish Deshmukh

Riteish likes to stick to the number 1 and all his cars are seen flaunting this number. Interestingly, his number plate reads R 1 and we guess that R represents his name. Reports suggest that besides his car, even his vanity van carries the same number.
