‘Name, Place Animal, Thing,’ ‘Bingo,’ ‘Tic Tac Toe’ – We all remember the games we used to play in school. You remember playing FLAMES with your friends and pulling their leg about their crush. When someone drew four lines on a piece of paper, you knew it was going to be the X and O war to brighten up that boring Math class.
Some of you may remember tearing up papers to make chits to play Raja Mantri Chor Sipahi when your teacher was late. What great memories. But have you ever wondered what our favourite Bollywood stars must have played while they were in school?
Priyanka Chopra – Hangman
PeeCee definitely aced all Hangman games ever. Her string of Hollywood and Bollywood projects is proof.
Kareena Kapoor – Chinese Whisper
“Do you know what happened?” Kareena is always on top of the happenings of the celeb world. We’re willing to bet she loved Chinese Whisper.
Ranbir Kapoor - FLAMES
“Friends, Love, Affair or Marriage – How will this end?”
Chocolate boy Ranbir Kapoor is infamous for his link-ups, and we’re guessing this isn’t a new trait.
Sonam Kapoor – Tippy Tippy Tap
“I want blue!”
The fashionista who impresses us with her amazing dressing sense must have played the most colourful game in school.
Sunny Deol - Arm Wrestling
“Ye dhai killo ka haath jab kissi pe padta hai to aadmi uthta nahi, uth jaata hai...”
Yes, we all know that iconic dialogue and we also wonder how many people that dhai killo ka haath must have beaten in arm wrestling in school.
Sushant Singh - Book Cricket
“...aur ye pada ek aur chakka!”
One of the most memorable roles that Sushant Singh Rajput has played is of course, Dhoni and it is possible that he might have played book cricket during his boring school lessons to master the skill!
Akshay Kumar - Monopoly
Akshay Kumar knows his numbers pretty well and we cannot help but wonder what made him a pro with money matters?
Playing monopoly in his school days, probably.
Karan Johar - I Spy
Who’s dating who, who’s holidaying where, who wore what – this Bollywood insider knows it all, and that was pretty evident when he spoke on his show Koffee with Karan, no?
But where does he get all the information from (apart from Kareena Kapoor) – Maybe the spying skills that he learnt in school while playing I Spy?
Katrina Kaif - Statue
The stature of Katrina Kaif has very little to do with her expressive acting skills.
Honestly, we feel like she still hasn’t gotten over the ‘statue’ that her friend said to her while she was in school.
The 3 Khans - Rock Paper Scissors
Salman, Aamir or Shah Rukh – whose film will break all the previous records this year?
Looks like the competitive spirit that the three Khans have runs deep down to their school days where they (probably) used to constantly play with luck in Rock Paper Scissors.
