Apart from good-looking women, if there's anything that drives Eijaz Khan wild, it's his fixation for bikes. The actor has been obsessed with bikes right from his college days. "I love bikes. There's something about these machines that drives me crazy," says Khan.
Recalling his early days where he rode a Bullet, he says, "Along with my brother and friends we had started this club where we would go riding on our bikes. It was a lot of fun."
But does the actor have time for his biking passion now? "Work doesn't permit me to indulge in bikes anymore, but whenever I get a chance I pick up someone's bike on the set and go for a ride. I think it has something to do with being a free spirit and enjoying your freedom."
Need for speed
Eijaz remembers how he modified one of his bikes by attaching it with a side buggy from a scooter. "It looked really nice, and it's quite sturdy as well. I have fun doing all these wild things with bikes." Other than bikes, the actor also has a soft corner for SUVs. "I like driving them, but bikes will always be my first love."
In fact, this year on August 28 (which happens to be his birthday), Eijaz plans to make one of his long-cherished dreams come true. "Last year, I went to Dubai and picked up a Kawasaki Ninja 900. However, I have still been unable to get it back home. This year, I want to be able to ride it and enjoy the speed. If it happens on my birthday, then nothing like it," says Eijaz.
Flight of fancy
Even though he doesn't have any plans made for the big day, Eijaz hopes he can take a week off. "I would love to just get a week off, pick up a few clothes and head to the nearest airport. I don't mind getting on any flight as long as it's going out of Mumbai."
On the work front, Eijaz has no idea about his last working day on Kavyanjali. "I would not be in any capacity to speculate on such a date. This information lies with the creative heads and the production house. However, the last day — whenever it comes — will be quite emotional for me, since Kavyanjali has been an important part of my life."
