Shah Rukh Khan, known as the ‘King Khan’ of Bollywood, is in the spotlight. He has received his first National Film Award in his 33-year career. Shah Rukh is also considered the wealthiest actor in Bollywood. His net worth is estimated to be around 7500 crore rupees, surpassing even Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan. Shah Rukh is known for his love of luxury cars. Today, his collection includes many expensive and luxurious cars, valued at over 30 crore rupees. However, the first car of Shah Rukh Khan, the owner of such expensive vehicles, was quite ordinary.
Several media reports claim that the first car Shah Rukh Khan bought was a Maruti Omni. It was the first-generation model of this car. The Maruti Omni is also known as the Maruti Van. It was a microvan manufactured by Maruti Suzuki. It was launched in 1984 as Maruti Van and was renamed Omni in 1988.
Why This Car Was Special
The Omni was equipped with a 796cc engine from the Maruti 800. This car was quite popular in India, especially for carrying goods and for use as an ambulance. However, its production was discontinued in 2019 due to safety regulations. The specialty of the Omni was that its engine was placed in the middle at the front. In addition, the rear-wheel-drive system provided more space for the cabin and luggage and also provided good grip.
Today, Shah Rukh Owns These Cars

Shah Rukh’s car collection includes luxury cars like Bugatti Veyron, Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe, and Bentley Continental GT. He also has a BMW i8, a Mercedes Benz S500, and a Lexus LM350h.
