5 Bollywood actresses who are avid bikers and have a Royal Enfield

Royal Enfield enjoys a separate fanbase. Considered one of the oldest motorcycle brands, Royal Enfield is synonymous with classic styling, steely appearance, and a distinct thumping exhaust note. It’s hard to ignore its thundering presence when a Royal Enfield whizzes past us on the streets. And not just common people; even some of our favourite Bollywood celebrities are fans of Royal Enfield motorbikes. Here is a list of 5 Bollywood actresses who have Royal Enfields.

Fatima Sana Shaikh recently brought home a Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and flaunted her new purchase on Instagram. The swanky 2-wheeler is powered by a 349cc single-cylinder, air-oil-cooled engine, producing 20.2 Bhp and 27 Nm of torque. Sharing a slew of pictures of the new bike on Instagram, Fatima wrote, ‘Still smiling from yesterday.’

In a conversation with Delhi Times, Fatima revealed that her father taught her how to ride a bike. The actress noted that he would take her for short rides and since then she has associated bike riding with happiness. ‘I think we need to stop attaching gender to something as basic as riding a vehicle,’ she said.

Back in 2016, Kalki Koechlin embarked on a road trip with her father, biker and photographer, Joel Koechlin, across a 4,000-km belt of the Northeast, including Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh on their respective Royal Enfield Himalayan bikes. They were on a mission to introduce the idea of environmentally and socially responsible tourism.

Actress Gul Panag is also an avid biker. Do you know her first bike was a Bottle Green Royal Enfield Electra 350? In 2021, she added a custom-made Jawa 42 motorcycle to her garage. Last year, Gul shared a post on Instagram posing with her Royal Enfield. She claimed to have ridden through cities, jungles, mountains, and traffic jams, experiencing the same thrill and joy every time.

In 2021, Kirti Kulhari purchased a brand-new Royal Enfield Classic 350 motorcycle in the shade of Halycon Grey. She rode 800 kms reaching Leh in 8 days. Kirti called her bike her ‘partner in crime’. Apart from that, the actress also owns a Guerrilla 450.
