Rajeev Khandelwal: I love exploring Goa on a cycle
Actor Rajeev Khandelwal celebrated World Cycling Day by expressing his love for cycling, particularly in Goa's scenic locales. He cycles for fitness and the joy of experiencing the breeze.
Rajeev Khandelwal
, who now calls Goa home, marked World Cycling Day by sharing his deep connection with the bicycle and the freedom it offers, especially when navigating the scenic and peaceful roads around the state.
'I do cycle a lot in Goa,' he says. 'The cycle represents many things for me. I surely use it for fitness, but I also enjoy the whole idea of cycling when the breeze hits you.'
Rajeev admits Mumbai isn't ideal for cycling, so he makes the most of it when he's in Goa or travelling abroad. 'I mostly enjoy cycling in Goa, or travelling abroad. In Mumbai, it is tough to cycle. Whenever I go abroad, I mostly hire a bicycle to explore the place.
Even when I'm shooting for any project, I hire a cycle to pick up groceries around.'
Fitness remains a priority for the actor. And cycling is part of a broader routine. 'I have kept a couple of bicycles in Goa because fitness for me is running, cycling, swimming and gymming- all of it." But beyond the health benefits, Rajeev says his home in Goa gives him something far more valuable- peace of mind. "It's a nice quiet place. There are people across the world here, so meeting and connecting with them and living amongst nature is something I like.

My house is surrounded by trees and is on a hilltop, and I can see the fields outside my window," he says.
'It's a great way to stay fit'
Rajeev shares, "Whenever I am not shooting, I live in Moira. If I cycle for 10–15 km, it's as good as cycling for 30
because of the uphills and downhills. It's a great way to stay fit. Me and my wife, Manjiri, both like to go cycling around Goa. We go to different villages and discover the state on a cycle.
There are lanes we wouldn't have seen otherwise, and it's so much fun. There's no noise, and it's so good to cycle around nature, especially during the rains—it gets even more beautiful.'
For Rajeev, cycling often turns into a mini-adventure. 'I went to Mayem Lake in Goa—it was one of the most beautiful rides. It was a bit further away but worth it. Reaching the waterfall, parking the cycle, then taking some sandwiches and having a small picnic—these things make me happy. Going on a picnic on a bicycle in Goa excites me. It was a scenic route. Divar Lake was also a good experience. I hope the beauty there is maintained.

Samar Khan says Kay Kay Menon's viral clip from 'Shaurya' was taken out of context: ‘It's like calling Gabbar Singh from Sholay a hero'
Filmmaker Samar Khan is all set to return to the spotlight with 'Chhal Kapat – The Deception', a murder mystery premiering on OTT on June 6. His 2008 release 'Shaurya' continues to remain in the spotlight after a courtroom scene featuring Kay Kay Menon went viral online. However, the video was taken out of context—something Samar has never liked to address. Nonetheless, he has now opened up about the intention behind the scene and how it went viral with a completely different interpretation. Kay Kay Menon's scene from Shaurya 00:59 Any Director Can Make Mistakes, I Choose Roles Based On Scripts: Kay Kay Menon On Picking Shekhar Home Shaurya is a courtroom drama starring Rahul Bose, Kay Kay Menon, Minissha Lamba, Deepak Dobriyal, and Jaaved Jaaferi. The film made waves for its powerful themes and explosive climax. At the centre of the storm was a searing monologue delivered by Kay Kay Menon's character, Brigadier Rudra Pratap Singh. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Khan expressed his discomfort over how the essence of the film has been misrepresented online. He admitted that he had outgrown Shaurya many years ago but still feels proud of the film. 'But what people make of it is out of my control. People ask me about it on Twitter and other platforms, but I never respond. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Device Made My Power Bill Drop Overnight elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo Anything I say would be taken out of context,' he shared. Samar about clickbait culture The clip featuring Rudra's monologue is often portrayed as a moment of righteous heroism. But for Khan, this popular interpretation completely misses the point. 'Unfortunately, many of those who share that scene haven't watched the scenes before or after. It's like isolating Gabbar Singh from Sholay and calling him a hero. Villains often come off as more attractive. Even with someone like Shah Rukh Khan , who has done countless romantic roles, people still remember him for Darr or Baazigar. As creators, we have to detach ourselves from how our work is received or reinterpreted,' he explained. He didn't hold back while discussing the role social media plays in reshaping narratives. He called it a clickbait culture driven by short attention spans. About Samar's recent production venture Chhal Kapat 'Chhal Kapat – The Deception' is directed by Ajay Bhuyan and features Shriya Pilgaonkar, Kamya Ahlawat, Ragini Dwivedi, Tuhina Das, Yahhve Sharma, Pranay Pachauri, Smaran Sahu, and Anuj Sachdeva in key roles.
