Why Vivek can’t ride a bike

For debutant actor Vivek, riding a bike onscreen is going to be tough. He is, after all, not allowed to ride a two-wheeler. The young actor, who makes his debut in the Kannada film Endendu Ninagaagi, tells us, “I have three sisters who I am very close to. When I was about 15 or 16, I took one of their scooters for a spin. I have no recollection of how fast I went or what happened, but the next thing I knew, I was in the ICU of a hospital.I had a massive head injury. And since I am the only son in the family, I was banned from ever riding a bike again.”
But Vivek is looking at turning this disadvantage around to benefit him. “Since I won’t be asking my dad for a high-end bike, I have been pestering him for a better car. Currently, I have a modest hatchback, but I am hoping that my dad will buy me my dream car — a luxury sports car — in time for the release of my debut film,” he says.
