You have heard stories about people asking for new cars, bikes, houses and a whole lot of white goods in dowry, but have you ever come across a situation where the would-be son-in-law asked for a 52-year old motorbike as a gift during marriage?

That is precisely what happened during Sameer Dharmadhikari's wedding! The actor who is in the limelight with Main Teri Parchhaiyan Hoon, wanted to take home his wife as much as he wanted to take back her grandfather's 1956 Ariel Colt 200. "I could not take my eyes off the beauty. It was maintained in spic and span condition and belonged to my wife's grandfather. It is the only dowry I took from my in-laws!" says the actor who takes the bike for joyrides in Mumbai.

So the next time you see Sameer, don't be surprised if you see him riding a vintage bike.
