Gul will be the first bollywood actor to have been invited to be a jury member of the most credible of all Auto industry awards, the NDTV Car & Bike Awards. The award function will be held on January 6th, 2010 where the winners will be honored.

Last year Priyanka Chopra & Saif ali Khan were felicitated as Brand Ambassadors of the year, but till date no prominent bollywood personality has made it to the list of jury members.

Recently Gul was at the jury briefing dinner and judging in Hyderabad where she had the opportunity to test drive all the nominated cars & bikes “I am a motor enthusiast and personally look into the maintenance of my bikes and cars. I keep a complete up-to-date track of all the cars and bikes being launched around the world. In fact most of my male friends take my guidance before purchasing a new car or bike! It was fun to test drive all the nominated cars & bikes at the meet. I have completely enjoyed the process of selecting the ultimate winners. May the best wins” ends Gul.

Next year, on the 6th of January 2010, the best of the cars & bikes will be awarded with the coveted trophies at Hyatt Regency, Delhi to coincide with the Auto Expo 2010.
