Kanwar Dhillon recalls buying his first bike with his own money
Mumbai, June 21
Actor Kanwar Dhillon, presently seen as Sachin in "Udne Ki Aasha", recalled how he bought his first bike with his own earnings.
Speaking during World Motorcycle Day, Kanwar revealed that riding is like a therapy for him.
"Motorcycling has changed my life in a beautiful way. It makes travelling more fun and life much easier because I save a lot of time. For me, riding a motorcycle is therapy. The moment I wear my helmet and start riding, it becomes a very therapeutic experience," he said.
He added that his love for bikes started at a young age.
Kunwar added, "I was obsessed with two-wheelers right from my childhood. It started with bicycles, and then I became fascinated with motorcycles. I always loved the adrenaline rush that comes with riding a bike, and that pushed me to chase my dream of owning one."
Revealing how he bought his first bike, a Yamaha Fazer 150cc, he said that he had requested his father to buy him the bike so he could travel from college to Aram Nagar every day for auditions.
"We had a deal that I would repay him once I got my first job. When I bagged The Buddy Project, I used my first pay cheque to repay him for the motorcycle. That gave me an incredible sense of achievement because I truly felt that I owned my first bike," recalled Kunwar.
Now, Kanwar is a proud owner of not one but two motorcycles, including his dream bike, a Kawasaki Ninja 1000cc, which he purchased during his stint on the show "Pandya Store"
"I surprised my family by taking them directly for the delivery. Buying my dream bike through my hard work was a very special moment," he shared.
However, Kunwar is a firm believer that riding comes with responsibility.
"I never ride without a helmet, and I urge everyone to prioritise safety. Riders should never compromise on helmets, jackets, gloves, riding shoes and safety gear, especially on long rides. Keep your live location shared with your loved ones, stay hydrated, and understand your machine well," he concluded.

"Riding is therapy" - couldn't agree more! There's something about the wind in your hair and the open road that just clears your mind. Kaafi relatable content from Kanwar. ❤️
Nice story, but 1000cc Ninja while on TV show? Bro, TV serials must pay well in Mumbai 🤣. Jokes apart, good to see actors talking about safety gear. Need more awareness on Indian roads.
Yeh toh aise hai jaise mere papa ne mujhe bike dene se mana kar diya tha, phir maine MBA karke khud buy kiya. Har roz rider ke liye learning hoti hai. Safety gear must hai, kyunki Indian roads unpredictable hain.
"Live location share with loved ones" - very important bhai. My husband rides pillion on weekends and we always use Google Maps location sharing. Small step but can save lives. Praising the responsible biking message!
From Yamaha Fazer to Kawasaki Ninja - that's a proper journey! Shows how TV industry can change lives. But wish actors would also talk about road rage and rash driving in India. Safety is good but behavior change needed too.
