A few days ago, Sidharth Malhotra and Jacqueline Fernandez were seen riding across the busy streets of Mumbai. When we met the sundar, susheel, risky duo, that headlines the cast of 'A Gentleman...', we had to ask Sidharth if he'd lend his bike to his leading lady, who is equally fond of two wheelers.
"No way!" he says. When asked if it's because he thinks women have poor driving skills, he says, "No, but mine is a 300-kilo bike. A true gentleman will take his lady out for a ride on that beast. Why would you let her go out on her own?"
When asked if he goes by the saying, ‘Men are more possessive of their bike than their women’, Jacqueline says, "When I’d asked him what he is more possessive of — his woman or his bike, his reply was, ‘My bike.’"
Sidharth recalls watching Akshay ride pillion with his security guy during peak traffic hours. "If I do that, Jacqueline will make a video and put it out on social media (laughs). She went live during our bike ride the other evening, too. I saw the video and wondered what she had shot."
Jacqueline adds, "Yeah, he called me and said, ‘It was just your face and smile. You didn’t utter even a word.’ Just for the record, that video trended. It’s funny, but my entire team makes funny videos all the time. It’s a part of our job. And our video went viral. People loved it."
