If like me, you’ve watched Finding Nemo on repeat, you know that the world underwater is absolutely stunning. Now we can’t possibly grow gills but scuba diving comes the closest to experiencing that. And these leading Bollywood actors are also scuba diving enthusiasts. We always see actors doing adventures on screen, but do you know some of these actors are adventurous offscreen too? Here are 5 celebrities who are certified scuba divers:
1. Sonakshi Sinha
In late 2020, Sonakshi visited the Maldives, and she with a certificate in scuba diving. She took it to Instagram to share her new achievement, captioning it ‘Knighted by the holy fins!!!’. She even shared a picture of her exam sheet in which she scored a full 100. Sonakshi Sinha added that she had never scored a 100 in any exam.
2. Shraddha Kapoor
Shraddha Kapoor is quite the adventurer both on and off screen as well, but did you know she is a water baby? She was even approached by a scuba diving association to be the face of their campaign in 2014. Shraddha also helped Tiger Shroff during water scene in Baaghi.
