Amit Sadh is in the second leg of his month-long biking trip from Mumbai to Leh. The actor plans to halt in many cities to meet people and experience India in a new way.

On the fifth day of his biking expedition, Amit Sadh made a quick stop in the capital. The actor’s #MotorcyclesSavedMyLife trip is his first long-route ride post COVID.

With Himachal Pradesh being adversely affected during the monsoon, going to or via HP to other cities right now is not advisable. Ask Amit whether he reconsidered his trip, and he says, “No, I just knew that I had to go. So, we figured out the routes from Chandigarh to Leh. The route via Manali was a complete no-go, so we decided to go via Spiti. I have already been to Ladakh 10 times. I know people in those regions; I am almost a local (laughs). We did proper recce and locals told me it was okay to ride. From Chandigarh to Shimla, I might encounter a few roadblocks, but I’ll find my way around them.”

Talking about his love for biking, he says, “When I was younger, biking was an escape for me. I used to ride in anger. It meant running away, and this running away also taught me a lot. It has taught me discipline. Now I feel, since I am riding differently, life has changed and things are mellow. There’s happiness, there’s calmness – life’s better. When you are biking, you might either have a hundred thoughts racing in your mind or have nothing at all.”

The Jeet Ki Zid actor, who is a very private person, says, “I rarely share stories about my biking adventures with my fans, but this time I decided to share this journey with everyone. The hero of this trip is my bike. I am taking this trip to inspire myself, spread smiles, and experience India differently.” 

Amit travels to the hills quite often. He shares, "India is so beautiful, mann nahi bharta. As a child, I used to travel with my father to the hills a lot. Those memories have stayed with me. So, I travel to the mountains and apne dad ko bhi yaad karta hoon."

"Being in Delhi was always fun. We used to do a lot of biking and bike racing at India Gate. This was about 20 years back. Many of my biker friends are still in Delhi and the city will always be special to me," he says reminiscing about his time in Delhi.
