BEACH
Be it romancing by the beach, or dancing to the tune of peppy numbers in sync with the waves, Bollywood and its love-love relationship with beaches goes a long way back. Let us have a look at 5 beaches that Bollywood has taken a fancy to over the years.
Shahrukh Khan and Kajol Devgan- the biggest hit jodi of B-town reunited for the movie Dilwale. The song ‘Gerua’ which totally rocked the charts for a long time, even after the film released was shot in Iceland. Surrounded by endless natural wonders like glaciers, lava fields, black sand beaches and snowy mountains, Iceland is a dream for every traveller. Kirkufell Mountain, Skaftafell Ice Cave, Geysers, Landmannalangar and a whale watching cruise are some of the most popular attractions here.
Every 90’s kid has at least once tried to copy the signature step of the title track of ‘Kaho Na… Pyaar Hai’. This song was shot at Thailand’s Krabi Island, known for its breathtaking natural beauty. When in the Krabi Islands don’t forget to visit the Railay Beach, Koh Poda, the Emerald Pool and Koli Hong. You can also enjoy adventure sports like scuba diving, snorkeling, bungee jumping and boating.
