It's a skill he has proudly passed on to the next generation. 'I taught my nephews Arhaan (Arbaaz Khan's son) and Nirvaan (Sohail Khan's son) to bike at our farm. They used to take turns and do wheelies at a young age. Their turns were such that they would grind the footrest on the ground,' shared the actor.
