This World Oceans Day, we match Bollywood actors with sea creatures whose personality traits they share
t’s time to celebrate the underwater kingdom. With World Oceans Day on June 8, let’s pledge to preserve and protect all things marine life. To begin with, let’s know the aquatic world by identifying some of the most popular species. Knowing the popularity of Bollywood and our love for it, we figure people would learn a thing or two about the ocean if we compared the oceanic beings to Bollywood actors. Here, the mysterious world of the ocean meets B-town!
Alia Bhatt
Dolphin
Highly intelligent and very friendly! For those ready to pick on Alia for her GK, intelligence is not always about general knowledge but also about making the right decisions and dealing with the consequences when things don’t go your way. Something Alia clearly knows how to do, as is evident from the choices she makes when it comes to her films or speaking her mind. Alia is also known for her amicable personality.
Akshay Kumar
Octopus
The monster of the deep, the octopus also occupies shallow waters. With eight arms, the octopus reminds us of multi-taskers like actor Akshay Kumar, who’s known to juggle many things, and yet stay ahead of the competition. Just like the sea creature, Khiladi Kumar has a mysterious air about him, and is known to weigh his words before speaking. This can be as confusing to read as the natural weapon of an octopus, which is the black ink known to confuse and disorient attackers.
Shraddha Kapoor
Jellyfish
Not only are they known to be among the most beautiful sea creatures, but they also have an equally dangerous side to them. However, if you ignore the lethal side, what you get is beauty that you simply can’t take your eyes off – just like Shraddha Kapoor.
Sonakshi Sinha
Pufferfish
Slow moving, gentle, and beautiful is how the fish may appear at first glance. However, if threatened, they can take in so much air inside their stomachs that they bloat and turn into large, perfect balls. Some pufferfish have spines, and when they puff up, these stick out like needles. While Sonakshi may not physically transform when upset, she does tear her trolls apart in style. Her words can be as lethal as the chemical that the pufferfish releases when inflated.
Priyanka Chopra
Blue Shark
Sharks are known for their predatory nature, but we would like to instead focus on their killer instinct, something that has helped Priyanka Chopra not only get ahead in Bollywood, but also make her presence felt in Hollywood. Blue Sharks can swim at fast speeds, a trait that clearly the Quantico actress shares when it comes to closing in on her goals and moving at high speed to realise them.
Sonam Kapoor
Starfish
Starfish are also known as sea stars. They are beautiful sea creatures in a variety of colours, shapes and sizes, although all resemble a star. Just like the starfish, Sonam Kapoor stands out and makes a statement not only with the clothes she wears but also with the way she carries herself. She can metamorphose into a girl-next-door or a diva with equal aplomb, and yet manage to be herself and speak her mind.
Ranveer Singh
Clownfish
No, it’s not the name that made us associate this sea creature with the bundle of energy that actor Ranveer Singh is. With its vibrant, attractive hues, it epitomises his style both on the red carpet and otherwise. Loud, bold and quirky definitely spell Ranveer in capital letters.
Arjun Kapoor
Crab
Just like this crustacean, Arjun Kapoor is known to appear to have an almost hard shell that’s not easy for the world to penetrate. He wears his sense of humour like a cloak and a shell that protects him for the world’s prying eyes and jibes.
Karan Johar
Lobster
Beneath that sarcasm, there is a soft and sensitive side to KJo just like the aquatic creature we believe he shares traits with. Known to have social bonds, lobsters and KJo have another thing common, they both love to surround themselves with people/creatures They bond well and love being a part of a social circle.
Ranbir Kapoor
Clam
Known to weigh his words, and keep the paparazzi at bay, actor Ranbir Kapoor definitely reminds one of clams, the beautiful sea creatures that are hard to reach because they are not easily accessible due to their hard shell.
Hrithik Roshan
Water Snake
Just like the water snake that has a nimble body, a lack of limbs and amazing flexibility, Hrithik Roshan never fails to amaze when he gets on the dance floor. His moves are so agile that you are left wondering if he has any bones in his body at all! An absolute treat to watch.
Tiger Shroff
Seahorse
A seahorse is known to withstand a lot of pressure and not break under it. And to do that in Bollywood, one needs to be as dedicated to his craft as Tiger. Apart from that, it’s also his ability to bend and move, and his flexibility that he shares with this sea creature.
Shah Rukh Khan
Piranha
Just like the Piranha, SRK is known to be competitive, something that he himself admits to.
Athiya Shetty
Shrimp
A novice in Bollywood, still learning the tricks of the trade, yet growing from strength to strength. We look at her as someone who is still a newbie waiting to make her mark.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Blue Whale
Unique and one of a kind, this one stands out wherever it goes. Clearly a trait that Ash possesses as she is known to own the room.
Kangana Ranaut
Stingray
The unpredictable Ms Ranaut can sting you with her words, and how! You will wonder what hit you.
Aamir Khan
Crocodile
He is known to eat up all the competition and like the crocodile everyone else leaves the pool once he enters, as they know they don’t stand a chance when he is around.
Katrina Kaif
Eel
Just like an eel that slips away, it’s hard to typecast Katrina into a mould. She is not following any particular pattern or walking in someone’s footsteps but trying to take a route that works for her.
Deepika Padukone
Goldfish
She has a thing for the metallic hue and has been seen wearing it with elan on several occasions. It’s purely for her fascination with the golden hue that we picked the goldfish for her.
Saif Ali Khan
Sea Lion
Adaptable, easy going and laid-back, qualities that easily define both actor Saif Ali Khan and the sea lion we think whose characteristics he embodies. Known to be loners, they are happy just being by themselves.
