Have you ever played Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon? it’s a superfun parlor game based on the the “six degrees of separation” concept, which claims that on average, any two people on Earth are about six acquaintance links apart from each other!
That idea eventually morphed into this game where movie buffs challenge each other to find the shortest path between some random actor and Hollywood star Kevin Bacon.
Here’s an example! Harrison Ford & Kevin Bacon:
1 – Harrison Ford starred in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark with Karen Allen.
2 – Allen starred in Animal House alongside Bacon – so 2 degrees.
Now let’s play our own version based on Bollywood! I’ll give you two personalities related to Bollywood in some way and you have to make the connection.
Here’s a MORE BOllywood EXAMPLE: VIDYA BALAN & JACKIE CHAN:
1 – Vidya Balan acted with Emraan Hashmi in The Dirty Picture
2 – Emraan Hashmi acted with Mallika Sherawat in Murder
3 – Mallika Sherawat acted with Jackie Chan in The Myth
and boom 3 degrees!
FYI, two people in a relationship, Facebook buddies, BFFs etc count as a degree as well! Get it? Got it? Good!
PS. Feel free to leave your own six degrees pairing in the comments below for us to play too! xoxo
