Teen Gets Rs 1.62 Cr BMW For Good Grades, Can't Drive It Yet!
11 Nov
Summary
- A 16-year-old received a Rs 1.62 crore BMW for his academic achievements.
- The father imposed a rule: the son cannot drive until he obtains a license.
- The businessman also owns a Range Rover and Mercedes, adding to his collection.

A remarkable reward was bestowed upon a 16-year-old student in West Bengal's East Burdwan district following his strong performance in half-yearly examinations. His father, a prosperous businessman named Shamsuddin Midya, presented him with a brand-new BMW M4 Competition xDrive, valued at Rs 1.62 crore.
The businessman, who owns three rice mills and exports rice internationally, fulfilled his son Mohammad Talha's long-held wish for a BMW. Midya himself has a penchant for luxury vehicles, with his collection including a Range Rover and a Mercedes.
However, the extravagant gift comes with a crucial condition. As Talha is only 16 and lacks a driving license, he is permitted to enjoy the car only as a passenger for now. He plans to sit in the vehicle weekly while his father drives him, focusing on his studies until he can legally take the wheel.
Midya's own journey to success is noteworthy; he began his career in Mumbai in 2003 as a lightman in the film industry before returning to his village in 2010 to establish his thriving business.
