The actor explores the healing power of motorcycling in his new YouTube series
By Mohnish SinghJul 24, 2024
Passion, dedication and hard work have been driving forces for Amit Sadh during his successful career across multiple platforms.
Beyond the glitz and glamour, the actor is deeply connected to the open road and charts that compelling journey in his recently launched YouTube series Motorcycle Saved My Life.
He offers an intimate glimpse into his personal journey of how a motorcycle became his lifeline, escape and salvation during a scenic 30-day journey from Mumbai to Leh. He hopes to cover the whole of India in a future series.
Eastern Eye caught up with Sadh to speak about his inspiration behind the first series, the transformative power of motorcycles, and his exhilarating adventures. The popular star also opened up about the importance of gratitude, his pillars of strength, biggest creative inspirations and the achievement he is most proud of.
What is your YouTube series, Motorcycle Saved My Life, all about?
As the name suggests, it’s about a motorcycling adventure and how it’s a big part of my life and so many other people’s lives around the world. I have been doing a lot of adventure travels and felt I should document and share that with the world. So, this is just our first step.
When did you conceive the series?
I've been trying to do something with motorcycles for a long time. I've been riding for 25 years. For the past 10 years, I used to think a lot about a motorcycling adventure. Then we realised, ‘Don't think so much. Just go and document it.’ So, we embarked on the journey and documented it. We'll just continue doing that and get better at storytelling, being more truthful, and bringing a more intimate experience for the viewers.
Do you remember the first bike you rode and then bought?
Oh, yes. It was a Bullet. I started riding when I was 12 or 13 years, which is not a great example. The first bike I bought was an Enfield Lightning, which was about, I think, 545 cc.
How did this adventurous journey change you as a person?
Not just this, but every time you go on an adventure, it changes you. Every time you sit on a bike, you go somewhere; every mountain you climb or any exploration you do, it changes you. It kind of shows who you are and allows you to bring a positive change. There are a lot of emotions, reconciliations, understanding, healing, fun, adventure and growth because you are meeting different people and terrains. Nature and experiences affect you. I just feel it's a gift. Travel is the best form of education, in my opinion.
Why is that?
Travel teaches you the power of solidarity and community building. If you travel across India, you would be amazed to see the biodiversity of this country. It’s just such a great gift. The fauna, flora and people of this country change every 50 kilometres.
The actor is very passionate about riding
Do you have any message for those who say they don't get enough time to travel?
I don’t think anybody is so busy. You have to take some time out for your passions and hobbies. My only message is that I'm very proud of those working hard and following their dreams. We all are the same. Do what makes you happy.
You have had a successful acting career. Do you pat yourself on the back for coming such a long way?
(Laughs). I think now I have started patting myself on the back. That’s important, actually. What happens at times is that we focus too much on what we could not achieve rather than what we have achieved and how far we have come. It’s important to thank those who helped you in your journey and, at the same time, thank yourself also; to sit for a second and appreciate all the good that has happened. I'm very grateful for where I've reached. I'm happy. And, of course, there's tomorrow. We keep marching forward, keep becoming better.
Is there any particular person that changed your life or really helped you?
I would like to thank my team. Ramesh (Sharma) dada has been doing my make-up since Kai Po Che (2013). There is Imran bhai who met me some 20 years ago as a driver. Now he is a co-producer on Motorcycle Saved My Life. Then, Ravi, my cook, who I met around 12-15 years ago. Today, if I feel low, he will say, “Bro, don’t fret. Everything is going to be alright.” I'm very, very thankful to my team. They are my family.
Were there any actors who inspired you?
Actually, my exposure to cinema began only after I joined the industry, because I had not seen many films or TV shows while growing up. Once I got into the industry, there were many actors who inspired me. In India - Amitabh Bachchan, Dilip Kumar, Balraj Sahni, Shah Rukh Khan, and Irrfan Khan - the list goes on. And then there is, of course, world cinema - Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Sadh has two movies in the pipeline, which are coming out this year
What about filmmakers?
In terms of directors, Martin Scorsese. In India, there is Anurag Kashyap. There was a time when he revolutionised Indian cinema. So, there's so much inspiration every day. That’s the beauty of being an artist. You can just keep learning, growing and getting inspired.
Has there been any particular moment or achievement in your journey that you are really proud of?
I don’t give much importance to ‘proud moments,’ rather I believe in ‘happy moments.’ I'm happy, healthy and working - that’s my moment. Yes, life is tough. We go through our emotional struggles every day. Life is not easy, for sure. I’m proud I have this attitude to not give up; that I stand on my feet again if I fall.
You worked in television, films and web series. How do you see the Indian industry evolving in the next few years, especially with the rise of digital platforms?
It’s evolving. Why in 10 years? It’s evolving every 10 days. Something exciting is happening. India is such a talented country, and I am glad that people are getting opportunities. New people are coming (into the industry). Everybody is getting a chance and an opportunity. That is something that makes me very happy.
What’s your life motto?
Live life to the fullest.
What are your upcoming projects?
I have two movies in the pipeline, which are coming out this year. Hopefully, we can announce them soon. The first one is called Pune Highway. And the second is Main, which is about an encounter specialist. Both these films are ready, and, hopefully, they'll come out soon.
Angelina Censori, the younger sister of Bianca Censori, is now firmly in the spotlight after being spotted alongside Kanye West and Bianca on back-to-back trips across Europe and Asia. From Spain to Japan, the 20-year-old has been photographed vacationing, dining and shopping with the controversial rapper and her famous sister.
From sun-soaked Spain to neon lit Tokyo
Last month, Angelina shared photos from a Spanish getaway where she joined Kanye and Bianca at a luxurious waterfront location in Mallorca. Fans quickly took notice, especially after snaps with West’s business associate Sneako sparked dating rumours. She shut the speculation down fast, posting online: “We are not dating.” During the same trip, Bianca caused a stir by strolling through a local market in a sheer outfit that revealed everything. Witnesses described shocked reactions from locals, but no legal action was taken. Spain’s topless laws protect such public displays, at least in certain areas.
The trio’s next stop was Japan, where Angelina posted pictures from an upscale dinner at Tokyo’s WAGYUMAFIA restaurant and a high-end vintage shopping spree. One snap showed graffiti reading “Ye is god”, and another highlighted a store label featuring North West’s name. Meanwhile, Kanye remained true to his incognito style, wearing an oversized black hoodie pulled low over his face.

Spotlight grows on Angelina as Bianca’s fashion continues
Angelina’s public appearances haven’t been limited to casual outings. She also accompanied Bianca and another sister, Alyssia, to Kanye’s Vultures 2 listening party in Salt Lake City. Seated in the front row, the Censori sisters were photographed wearing sleek, skin-baring outfits, with Angelina opting for a nude-toned two-piece set. Their mother, Alexandra, was also spotted at the event, adding to the whole family affair vibe.
Back in Spain, Bianca once again turned heads in a jaw-dropping leather thong bodysuit during a photoshoot where Kanye appeared relaxed and affectionate, placing a hand on her behind. Angelina was also part of the shoot, wearing similarly revealing clothes that further fuelled comparisons between the sisters.

Adding to the buzz, Kanye has reportedly changed his name again. After legally becoming “Ye” in 2021, recent filings list him as “Ye Ye” in connection to his ventures like Yeezy Apparel and Getting Out Our Dreams Inc. As his personal life and career continue making headlines, it seems Angelina is quickly becoming a familiar face in Ye’s world.

Elizabeth Hurley poses nude in a field to mark her 60th birthday
Elizabeth Hurley isn’t holding back as she steps into her sixties. On 10 June, the Bedazzled star celebrated her milestone birthday by posting a nude photo taken in a field, using nothing but her pose and a necklace. In the caption, she reflected on an emotional and eventful year, describing it as a “wild ride” and revealing she’s “in love” with country star Billy Ray Cyrus.
Alongside the image, Hurley highlighted three major personal landmarks: 30 years working with Estée Lauder, 20 years of her swimwear label Elizabeth Hurley Beach, and her new romance. “Feeling very blessed and grateful for having the best friends and family in the world,” she wrote.
Hurley and Cyrus find love after reconnecting post-divorce
Hurley and Cyrus met on the set of the 2022 holiday film Christmas in Paradise. Although there was some sparks at the time, they lost touch and reconnected in 2024, after Cyrus ended his short-lived marriage to singer Firerose. It was Hurley who reportedly reached out during his divorce, a message that led to a deeper connection.
By April 2025, the pair made their relationship public on Instagram. The singer later posted a birthday message calling Hurley “the love of my life.”

The couple also made a red carpet appearance together in Rome on 24 May, further confirming the romance. While Cyrus has faced strained relationships with some of his children, particularly daughter Miley, reports suggest he’s trying to rebuild those ties. Miley, who cut off contact with her father in 2023, has softened her stance, recently saying that while it was difficult at first, “everyone deserves to be happy.”
Family support and healing amid past drama
Hurley’s son, 23-year-old Damian, commented warmly on her birthday post, calling her his “best friend forever.” Friends and celebrities, including Heidi Klum and Sarah Michelle Gellar, also sent their love. Meanwhile, insiders say Cyrus is now prioritising family time and hopes his relationship with Hurley marks a new chapter, both personally and publicly.

After more than a decade, Enrique Iglesias is finally returning to India. The Spanish superstar, best known for global hits like Hero, Bailamos, and Rhythm Divine, is scheduled to perform in Mumbai on 30 October 2025 at the MMRDA Grounds, BKC. This will be his first show in India since 2012, when he toured Pune, Gurugram, and Bengaluru as part of his Euphoria world tour. The upcoming concert is part of Iglesias’s current global run and will take place just before his Abu Dhabi stop.
Organised by EVA Live and BEW Live, the Mumbai gig promises a packed venue with over 30,000 fans expected. According to organisers, Iglesias will perform a setlist spanning his three-decade-long career, mixing early 2000s classics with recent hits. EVA Live’s founder Deepak Chaudhary called the show a “historic moment,” highlighting India’s growing appetite for iconic international acts. “The enthusiasm among fans is real. This show is about celebrating that global connection through music,” he said in a statement.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom spark split rumours as insiders cite album stress and wedding delays
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, engaged since 2019 and parents to four-year-old Daisy Dove, are facing intense scrutiny as reports swirl about significant strain in their relationship. Insiders suggest the couple may be heading for a split once Perry’s massive Lifetimes tour concludes in December.
Album stress spills over to home life?
Sources point directly to the tough reception of Perry’s September album, *143*, as a major pressure point. Designed as a “bold, exuberant” celebration of love, the project landed with a thud for many critics. “Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,” a source told PEOPLE. “It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.”
Disappointing early tour reviews added further strain. Despite the critical noise, Perry’s tour was a success, selling out shows globally, including multiple nights in Mexico and Australia, before hitting the US in July. Perry has historically brushed off critics, famously advised by her therapist that “what anybody thinks about you is none of your business.”
This isn’t the couple’s first major hurdle; they famously split for nearly a year in 2017. Perry recently reflected on that initial breakup, revealing Bloom was more committed early on while she felt she needed to “swim in a different pond.” Their engagement five years ago sparked dreams of a destination wedding, but the pandemic derailed plans. Sources now claim the lack of progress on marriage is a sore point, with Bloom reportedly “over” the delay.

While they’ve credited couples’ therapy in the past for helping them stay “in tune” amidst busy lives and parenting, recent months reportedly saw them spending significant time apart, with Bloom spotted in Miami last month. Both have acknowledged the inherent challenges of merging their vastly different worlds: Perry’s pop “universe” and Bloom’s acting career.
Representatives for the couple have not commented on the split rumours. For now, Perry focuses on her tour, while the future of one of Hollywood’s most watched relationships hangs in the balance.

Moose Wala’s father Balkaur Singh objects to release of BBC documentary
The BBC World Service has released a two-part documentary on Sidhu Moose Wala, the late Punjabi singer who was shot dead in 2022, despite his father's legal attempts to halt the release. Titled The Killing Call, the documentary went live on YouTube on 11 June, Moose Wala’s birth anniversary, just a day before a scheduled court hearing in Punjab on the matter.
Balkaur Singh, the singer’s father, had approached a Mansa court seeking a stay on the screening. He claimed that the BBC’s release was done without the family’s consent and that the documentary could interfere with the ongoing investigation into his son’s murder. His petition is set to be heard on 12 June. Despite the ongoing legal challenge, the broadcaster proceeded with the online release.

Family’s legal concerns and BBC’s original plan
According to Singh’s legal team, the documentary features people who are directly mentioned in the FIR related to the killing, including an audio interview with gangster Goldy Brar, the alleged mastermind behind Moose Wala’s assassination. Singh argued that airing such content without court clearance might disrupt the judicial process and violate the family’s right to privacy.
Originally, the BBC had planned to host a private screening of the documentary in a Mumbai cinema on 11 June. However, following the controversy and complaints filed with Maharashtra’s Director General of Police and the Juhu Police Station, the event was cancelled. Instead, the film was uploaded to YouTube for public viewing.
The BBC reportedly sent out invitations for the original screening, claiming the film contained never-before-revealed facts. Singh alleged that the release could damage his son’s legacy and misrepresent events. The family also intended to release their own tribute EP of Moose Wala’s unreleased music around the same time.
The Killing Call traces Moose Wala’s life from his roots in rural Punjab to international music success, while exploring the complex web of fame, politics, and crime that followed him. The first episode highlights his journey and controversies, while the second delves into the events surrounding his murder on 29 May 2022.
Moose Wala was killed while travelling in Punjab without police protection. Over 30 rounds were fired at his vehicle. Brar later claimed responsibility for the murder and remains a fugitive. Nearly three years later, no one has been convicted in the case, which continues to dominate headlines across India and the Punjabi diaspora.
