I was simply flabbergasted by this news. What is the real story behind such news? Celebrities are no saints. They are humans. And while I can understand charity, simply gifting a Velar to your gym trainer doesn't make sense. Most of the non-A list actors may not be able to afford that car.

Think of the 33% gift tax, the poor guy will need to pay unless it has been gifted "for his use"

The income tax will have a lot of fun with this!

He is his Trainer and he is been with him for 8 years. Nobody knows why even his Trainer couldn't answer it.

Celebrity personal Trainer's earns really good these days. I hope the gift tax shouldn't be a problem for him.

It's quite a pretty old car. He bought it as brand new five years ago. This picture is shot at a pre-owned luxury car showroom up north in Kerala. I guess he visit them to sell it off.

Both are different cars - the one in the FB story is a GT TSI and the one he's posing with is a GTI.

Neeraj owns a BMW X1 and Polo GT. I guess he was just posing for a pic with the GTI in the showroom.

Its because he can afford. Affordability isn't just out of wallet, but heart.

I'm no fan of Prabhas, but he is a kind hearted man, and his gratitude towards the trainer is obvious, because its only after the movie Baahubali he became highest paid star and a widely known name across entire India. I myself never knew him before the movie. And a major part of it was his chiseled body too which worked wonders. Heard he set up a gym costing 1cr. in his own home. He sure can afford to pay back to the man who contributed to his fame in a great way. Prior to Baahubali series and Saaho, he wasn't as chiseled and shredded as is now.

PS: There can be something more to the story, and also, I don't even know if this trainer is the same trainer from his Bahubali transformation.

Yes, he is the same Trainer. He is been with Prabhas from 8 years. I request BHPians to stop discussing this further, on this thread. Thanks.
