A young man from Udaipur, Rohitesh Upadhyay, bagged not one but two world records in the field of motorsports. Rohitesh, who hails from Udaipur, bagged the record of stagging the longest ever Sportbike Freestyle Riding done by anyone in India.
Rohitesh attempted this skilled act in the field of Sportbike Freestyle Riding on September 29 last year. The act named as ‘No Hands Motorcycle Wheelie’ is one of the most difficult tricks performed in motorsports.
In this trick, the athlete is not allowed to touch the handlebar at any time after the starting line, while the front wheel remains in the air throughout. Rohitesh managed to balance this specific wheelie for a distance of 125.7 meters non-stop!
The trick was set as a record in the International Book of World Records. On 17th April this year, the Golden Book of World Records also honoured him for the same record.
The motorsports athlete, Rohitesh has been in the field for the past 10 years. He has attended more than 100 shows across India.
The ex-TVS Factory Rider also broke the India Book of Records in Chennai in 2017 at Express Avenue Mall. The 5-hour long show started at 12 noon and extended up till 5 pm in the evening.
Rohitesh is currently associated with an international OEM manufacturer brand where he tests concept electric motorcycles.
He will be felicitated in December 2020 in Delhi for making India proud by being the first Indian to bring this laurel home.

Ghasiteram is a fictional name of a sweet shop based in Udaipur as featured in the Bollywood movie Angrezi Medium starring Irrfan Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Radhika Madan and directed by Homi Adajania.
The director wanted to portray Irrfan’s character as a man from a small town and therefore identified Udaipur as the best location to show the peaceful life of the small businessmen in a city.
Irrfan has been portrayed as the owner of this small sweet shop chain named Ghasiteram Mishthan Bhandar (GMB), which is based in a small town of Udaipur.
Although Udaipur city, in reality, does not have any shop named Ghasiteram Sweets or Ghasiteram Mishthan Bhandar Udaipur, in the movie, the shop is featured to be located at Choti Bramhapuri locality in Udaipur where Irrfan was said to staying while shooting the film.
In the film, Irrfan is playing the role of Champak Ji, the owner of the sweet shop owner of Ghasiteram Mishthan Bhandar Udaipur.
Udaipur is not only a favourite tourist destination but has also become a popular location for a movie shoot. The beauty and culture of the city have added a lot of drama, glam and aesthetic to some of the amazing blockbusters from Bollywood as well as Hollywood. And that is the reason why, from lakes and palaces to the bustling lanes, Udaipur fits perfectly for all types of shots.
It is notable that the line production for this Movie was managed by Sanjay Soni and his Production Company – The Crew Production from Udaipur.
