For a very long time, motorcycles had been primarily associated as tools for men, but in recent years many women riders have come up that have changed this definition. Even our movies have progressively transitioned into showing more women riding on the silver screen.
On the occasion of Women’s Day, let us take a look at some of the Bollywood Divas who mesmerised the screen by swinging their legs over a motorcycle.
Anushka Sharma
Anushka Sharma got an opportunity to showcase her riding skills in her debut film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. In the film, Anushka can be seen riding the Suzuki GSR 600 with Shah Rukh Khan sitting behind her. Anushka again rode a bike in the movie Jab Tak Hai Jaan, this time it was a Royal Enfield Thunderbird.
Katrina Kaif
The scene in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara where Katrina Kaif is seen on board a Royal Enfield Classic is considered iconic by many. The scene was shot in Spain and beautifully captures the essence of riding.
Shraddha Kapoor
Shradhha Kapoor also got her hands on the Royal Enfield Thunderbird in the 2014 film Ek Villain. The actress seemed very comfortable handling the retro cruiser.
Priyanka Chopra
Priyanka Chopra was first seen riding a dirt bike in the action thriller Don. Now a global star, Priyanka has ridden a few sports bikes like Ducati in the Hollywood tele-series Quantico.
Dia Mirza
Dia Mirza got to ride the Royal Enfield Bullet in her recent movie, Dhak Dhak, alongside her co-actors Ratna Pathak Shah, Fatima Sana Sheikh, and Sanjana Sanghi. The film is centred around four women who embark on a bike trip to Ladakh.
Sonakshi Sinha
Sonakshi Sinha rode a Honda Hornet 600 naked bike in the movie Son of Sardar. The movie shows Sonakshi performing a few stunts with the Hornet 600. In real life as well, Sonakshi has been spotted on board her Royal Enfield quite a few times.
Kriti Sanon
Kriti Sanon showcased her riding skills in the 2023 movie Ganpath where she could be seen riding a dirt bike. Set in the post-apocalyptic world, the film didn’t do too well at the box office but Sanon was able to do complete justice to her bike scenes.
Kajol
Veteran actress Kajol will also be seen riding a Royal Enfield Bullet in her upcoming film Do Patti. Releasing on Netflix this year, Kajol will be seen playing a cop in this thriller.
