Rajeev Khandelwal: I love exploring Goa on a cycle
Actor Rajeev Khandelwal celebrated World Cycling Day by expressing his love for cycling, particularly in Goa's scenic locales. He cycles for fitness and the joy of experiencing the breeze.
Rajeev Khandelwal
, who now calls Goa home, marked World Cycling Day by sharing his deep connection with the bicycle and the freedom it offers, especially when navigating the scenic and peaceful roads around the state.
'I do cycle a lot in Goa,' he says. 'The cycle represents many things for me. I surely use it for fitness, but I also enjoy the whole idea of cycling when the breeze hits you.'
Rajeev admits Mumbai isn't ideal for cycling, so he makes the most of it when he's in Goa or travelling abroad. 'I mostly enjoy cycling in Goa, or travelling abroad. In Mumbai, it is tough to cycle. Whenever I go abroad, I mostly hire a bicycle to explore the place.
Even when I'm shooting for any project, I hire a cycle to pick up groceries around.'
Fitness remains a priority for the actor. And cycling is part of a broader routine. 'I have kept a couple of bicycles in Goa because fitness for me is running, cycling, swimming and gymming- all of it." But beyond the health benefits, Rajeev says his home in Goa gives him something far more valuable- peace of mind. "It's a nice quiet place. There are people across the world here, so meeting and connecting with them and living amongst nature is something I like.

My house is surrounded by trees and is on a hilltop, and I can see the fields outside my window," he says.
'It's a great way to stay fit'
Rajeev shares, "Whenever I am not shooting, I live in Moira. If I cycle for 10–15 km, it's as good as cycling for 30
because of the uphills and downhills. It's a great way to stay fit. Me and my wife, Manjiri, both like to go cycling around Goa. We go to different villages and discover the state on a cycle.
There are lanes we wouldn't have seen otherwise, and it's so much fun. There's no noise, and it's so good to cycle around nature, especially during the rains—it gets even more beautiful.'
For Rajeev, cycling often turns into a mini-adventure. 'I went to Mayem Lake in Goa—it was one of the most beautiful rides. It was a bit further away but worth it. Reaching the waterfall, parking the cycle, then taking some sandwiches and having a small picnic—these things make me happy. Going on a picnic on a bicycle in Goa excites me. It was a scenic route. Divar Lake was also a good experience. I hope the beauty there is maintained.

Hailee Steinfeld dethrones Brittany Mahomes to become NFL's richest WAG after marrying Josh Allen
Hailee Steinfeld's marriage to Josh Allen has catapulted her to the top of the NFL WAG hierarchy (Getty Images) The NFL WAG scene has a new queen—and her name is Hailee Steinfeld . The Oscar-nominated actress and singer quietly tied the knot with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen in late May 2025, closing the chapter on their two-year romance that began in spring 2023. The couple got engaged in November 2024, but it wasn't until recently that their marriage made headlines—and for good reason. Hailee Steinfeld 's quiet wedding with Josh Allen sets a new standard for NFL WAGs Hailee Steinfeld's emergence as an NFL wife immediately put her in elite company, alongside names like Brittany Mahomes and Ciara Wilson. But it's her star power, career accolades, and financial status that truly make her stand out. With a net worth estimated at $25 million, Steinfeld surpasses both Brittany Mahomes, who sits at around $15 million, and Ciara, who comes in at $20 million. Brittany Mahomes has carved a respectable niche as a co-owner of the Kansas City Current and with her Brittany Lynne Fitness brand. She's built a loyal following and contributes to the Mahomes Foundation while locking in endorsements with brands like Shop Vitality. Despite her fitness empire and sports business ties, her financial footprint doesn't quite stack up to Steinfeld's. Ciara Wilson, wife of Steelers QB Russell Wilson, also brings serious firepower. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software Esseps Learn More Undo From early 2000s chart-topping hits like 1, 2 Step to brand endorsements with Revlon, Verizon, and Adidas Originals, Ciara has maintained her cultural relevance. Her ventures in beauty, alcohol, and entertainment production reinforce her image as a business-savvy WAG. Yet, even with those achievements, Hailee's resume is hard to match. Her roles in blockbuster superhero franchises and an ongoing streak of film offers have kept her at the center of pop culture. Beyond the screen, her real estate portfolio is just as impressive. She reportedly owns an $8 million estate in Encino, as well as properties in Thousand Oaks and New York City's Midtown Manhattan. Taylor Swift's high-profile relationship with Travis Kelce has definitely shaken up the NFL landscape, but Steinfeld currently holds the edge in the WAG power rankings. With more acting deals on the horizon and her music career still viable, she's positioned to widen the gap.
