There’s no denying the cult following of Royal Enfield motorcycles in India, with a significant number of enthusiasts and fans, including several celebrities. Multiple Indian celebrities were spotted riding motorcycles. This is a list of such celebrities.
Gul Panag
Among them is Gul Panag, known for her adventurous spirit. She has undertaken numerous expeditions on both cars and bikes, and has been riding Royal Enfield motorcycles since a young age. Gul Panag has been spotted on multiple occasions riding the Royal Enfield Electra Cast Iron and Classic models, and even cruises on a Royal Enfield Himalayan. In a vintage video, the former beauty pageant winner can be seen effortlessly riding a Royal Enfield Bullet, exuding a sense of authority and style.
Varun Dhawan
Varun Dhawan, the son of renowned Bollywood director David Dhawan, made his industry debut in Karan Johar’s “Student of the Year.” Recently, he has caught attention for riding a Classic 500 Royal Enfield painted in an Olive Green scheme. This choice of color is intriguing because Olive Green is not commonly offered in India, mainly due to its association with the military.
John Abraham
John Abraham, on the other hand, opted for a custom Royal Enfield from Vardenchi, a well-known Royal Enfield modifier in India. He later received a second customized Royal Enfield called Akuma, modified by BullCity Customs. Based on the 350cc AVL Machismo model, this bike features an olive green body, a reshaped fuel tank, a repositioned handlebar, and a longer wheelbase.
Nana Patekar
Nana Patekar, known for his unique acting skills in Bollywood, was spotted riding a Royal Enfield Desert Storm on the streets of Mumbai. Although he was seen without a helmet, it is likely that he was promoting a movie, explaining the lack of head protection.
Aditya Roy Kapoor
Aditya Roy Kapoor, known for his notable performances, has a fondness for vintage Royal Enfields. He owns two distinctive models: an AVL-engined Machismo 500 and a 500cc Royal Enfield with a cast-iron engine. Both bikes are considered rare finds. He also owns other motorcycles.
Salman Khan
Salman Khan, the official brand ambassador of Suzuki motorcycles in India, possesses an array of exotic bikes including the Hayabusa and the Intruder. Although he has been spotted riding a Royal Enfield on various occasions, the specific instance in the video is from the shooting of the movie “Race 3,” where he is seen riding alongside actress Jacqueline Fernandez.
Kalki Koechlin
Kalki Koechlin embarked on a biking trip of over 4,000 km to Northeast India with her father on a Royal Enfield Himalayan. The duo explored the seven sister states during the trip, which was also being documented for a travel show. Kalki also used to ride otherwise on the streets of Mumbai when she was still in India.
Kartik Aryan
Kartik Aryan, the actor, owns a Classic Royal Enfield motorcycle in a vibrant red hue. Acquiring this bike in 2021, he frequently showcases his rides through online pictures and videos. Furthermore, Kartik Aaryan expanded his collection by purchasing another Royal Enfield motorcycle, the Hunter 350 in the elegant Dapper Grey shade, introduced the previous year.
