The doting husband’s gesture pleasantly surprised his wife.

Sharing his experience, Madhavan says, “This train is so fast. Every time a train goes to the opposite direction, you can feel both the trains kind of split apart and lean on opposite sides of the track. It’s very frightening but at the same time, extra-ordinary technology and I’m very impressed with the cleanliness and the discipline with which they have maintained and run it. It’s in a different league altogether.”

Wrestler Sangram Singh surprises ladylove Payal Rohtagi with a Mercedes

Commonwealth heavyweight champion, Sangram Singh is clearly head over heels for his fiancee Payal Rohatgi.  On the occasion of Payal’s birthday, Sangram surprised his lady love with a beautiful sparkling dark blue Mercedes C - Class.  The actress was rendered speechless when she saw the car for the first time.  The Wrestler had gone to long lengths to keep this extravagant gift an absolute surprise. Payal has been away for­­­­­­­­­­­­ ­­­­­­­­Diwali visiting her parents at ­­­­­­­­­Ahmedabad.  This was the time that Sangram took, to plan out this opulent surprise for Payal. 

The car is not just a heartfelt gesture for Payal but has a very personal space in Sangram’s heart as well. For those who don’t know, Haryana is one of the states where you can find Mercedes even in the villages, such is the prosperity. Growing up, Mercedes was his dream vehicle and always wanted to buy one for himself. The fact that he decided to buy his ‘Dream Car’ for his fiancee  instead of himself displaying how deep their bond is. 

Sangram took a very cute video taking Payal to the car blindfolded.  The elation that Payal displayed on seeing her gift was just indescribable.

“When I was thinking of what to get Payal for her birthday, the car suddenly struck me.  Mercedes had been my dream vehicle when I was a kid. I always thought I will buy myself a Mercedes one day. But the dream seemed distant back then.  It is not anymore. A lot of it was my own strong will and god’s blessing. But there is no doubt that Payal’s support for the last few years has helped me sustain the initial push that wrestling gave me. This gift above all is me sharing my dreams with the women I love.” said the wrestler on Payal's birthday gift.

Payal on the other hand though she knew what was happening. But boy was she in for a surprise when the gift was unveiled.  It’s not the gifting that surprised her but the gift itself.

“I knew he was going to “surprise” me as it’s my birthday, so I decided to act all surprised. But when I actually saw my gift, I think I went from faking surprised to an absolute overwhelming feeling, in no time. I thought I knew what was happening, but a Merc as a birthday gift is an absolute shocker…of the best possible kind. Now I know what he was up to while I was visiting my parents. But what moves me the most is that this is his Dream Car and he decided to buy it for me. It only goes to show the place I hold in his heart.”

Earlier this year Sangram made a statement in regards with Payal stating, “Iss saal toh shaadi karni padhegi”. The way their romance has been kindling on, we have a feeling that wedding bells might not be that far off.
