Rolls Royc Luxury car gifted to Yesudas by NRI


Dubai, Dec. 3. (PTI): Noted singer K J Yesudas has been gifted a $ 2 lakh Rolls Royce by a Non-Resident Indian businessman here, who hoped that it would be useful for the community works the artiste was undertaking.

At the end of a carnatic music concert by Yesudas here on Monday, NRI businessman, B R Shetty, told a cheering audience that he was giving the singer 'Silver Spirit', a 1992-make golden brown Rolls Royce which he had bought for $ 200,000.

Shetty, whose medical centre had organised the concert at the Indian High School jointly with Thiruvananthapuram's Soorya Theatre Group, said it was not well known that Yesudas was helping AIDS patients, old-age homes and contributing for other charitable causes.

Expressing hope that the car will be useful for the singer for his community works, Shetty said he will give all help for continuing the charity work.

Yesudas will leave for home after the concert tour which took him to UK, Italy, Oman, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Kuwait.

It is not known if he will face a huge tax bill when he takes the Rolls Royce home as it happened with cricketer Sachin Tendulkar after he was gifted a Ferrari.
