Neha Dhupia zips around on her scooter

If you see Neha Dhupia riding a bike in Bandra, don’t be surprised. The actress has ditched her luxury car and got herself a scooter to travel.

She says, “There is just too much traffic and every road in Bandra is dug up. I was getting really fed up. I was like, I don’t need to fit in anywhere, I just want to travel on my scooter.” So, is she riding it herself? “Yes, on most days I am, except when there is no parking. And when I can’t find space to reverse my car I tell my driver, ‘Aaj gaadi mat nikalo, aaj scooter nikalo’, and I ride pillion. In fact, I made a big mistake, recently.

I should have gone to Karan Johar’s birthday bash on my scooter, there was so much traffic there,” she says. Neha is currently riding in and around Bandra only when she has to go to meet her friends or some other work. How have her friends reacted to it?

“The first time they laughed, and then they said they wanted to get one too, as it is convenient,” she smiles. So far, Neha has shown her bike to Konkona Sen Sharma and Soha Ali Khan, “Soha was interested in buying, but now she is pregnant, so I don’t think she will.”
