New Delhi: Actor and automobile lover Dulquer Salmaan has admitted to having many vehicles but declined to provide a specific number. DQ also shared his preferred driving route and the music he listens to in the car. The Malayalam cinema fame has come up as an avid vehicle collector. He avoided answering the question directly because he was afraid of the possible consequences of admitting his automobile collection. He didn't want to "get into trouble" by admitting how many automobiles he has.

The Sita Ramam actor said in an interview with Top Gear India that among his many vehicles is a collection of secondhand and refurbished automobiles as well as more extravagant cars.

Dulquer also said that, since becoming an actor, he takes extra precautions to avoid speeding while behind the wheel. He says he wants to keep himself away from any controversy.

He talked about his favourite road to drive on, “Best road for me was Route 1 in California. We did from SFO (San Francisco) to LA (Los Angeles). I did the coastal road from Monterey and it was a Sunday and you could see all the car clubs out, the Ferraris. The road is so gorgeous, it’s unbelievable. You are coming from such a height and suddenly you are at sea level. I have done it twice, I loved it so much. My dad and all were also there but they fell asleep. After they were out, I was like yaay.”

He also elaborated on how his musical tastes have an effect on his driving style. He said, “My driving is affected by the kind of music I listen to. If it’s a faster song, I drive faster. In fact, when I used to commute to work in Chennai and in Dubai, I used to get so much anxiety from road rage because there was just bad driving by people. That’s why I started to listen to Frank Sinatra and Dima, just to calm myself. I used to drive slowly and not get affected by how people were driving.” 

On the work front, Dulquer Salmaan will soon be featured in the Malayalam movie, ‘King of Kotha’.
