We were the first to tell you that Shraddha Kapoor was taking bike lessons for her role in Mohit Suri’s romantic thriller, The Villain. The film is being shot in Goa, where we caught the lead pair Sidharth Malhotra and Shraddha riding a bike. While girls riding a scooter is common, it was interesting to see Shraddha not just riding a bike, but a male-oriented one. As much as Shraddha was comfortable riding a bike and plans to buy one herself, she would loudly say, ‘Jai Mata Di’, every time Mohit said ‘action’ for her to ride her bike alone. Of course, at times, when Sidharth was sitting behind her, she felt far more comfortable.
