Prithvi recently bought a BMW 6-Series last year. Reportedly, he gifted the white coloured 6-Series to his father. A picture of Prithvi Shaw on the pillion seat of a Yamaha Libero is becoming viral to show the stark difference between the two times.

The old picture that shows the Yamaha Libero also shows Prithvi’s father. It looks like Prithvi’s father is taking him to the cricket practice.
