We are talking about Ranveer Singh’s Rocky Randhawa from Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, who captured our hearts in 2023. These two rom-com heroes from Dharma Productions share a lot of personality traits, making them two peas in a pod. Let’s take a closer look at the similarities between Akhil and Rocky that have made their roles memorable.
7 similar endearing qualities of Vicky Kaushal and Ranveer Singh’s characters:
1. They are the true blue Punjabis of Delhi
Both Akhil Chadha and Rocky Randhawa are shown as the Punjabi munde who have got a lot of swag. While Akhil may not know Rocky’s unique English, he has his own delightful self. Belonging to Delhi, they also have the Dilliwalon ka dil, which they wear on their sleeves.
2. They are the life of the party
Akhil and Rocky are the life of the parties and know how to set the stage on fire. Vicky Kaushal and Ranveer Singh get a chance to flaunt their dancing skills in their introduction songs, Raula Raula and Heart Throb, respectively.
3. Both handle family businesses
While Rocky works in his family business of Dhanlakshmi Sweets, Akhil handles a famous Chaap Corner. They certainly love their food.
4. They are very stylish
Both the characters have a commendable sense of style, which is the perfect representation of their colorful and happy personalities. Vicky and Ranveer flaunt their chiseled physiques and impress the audience with their looks in the films. They also have their own theme music, which plays in the background during their scenes, adding to their charm.
5. They dote on their loved ones
Akhil absolutely adores his mother and loves her the most in the world. He is always stuck to his phone and never fails to miss her calls. He also dotes on his wife Saloni (Triptii Dimri) and keeps the romance alive with his grand gestures. Similarly, Rocky is also very protective of his family, especially his mother and grandfather. When he falls for Rani (Alia Bhatt), he goes the extra mile to make her feel special.
They both get strong, opinionated, and career-oriented women as their partners who balance their nature perfectly.
6. They learn from their mistakes
Akhil initially doesn’t understand his partner’s love for her career, which results in huge problems between them and ultimately a divorce. However, he recognizes his flaws and works to improve on them so as to win Saloni’s heart again. In the end, even when he is competing with Gurbir (Ammy Virk) for her affection, he makes a selfless decision that would ensure her happiness.
Similarly, Rocky changes his patriarchal ways when Rani enters his life and apologizes to her family for his mistakes.
7. They are emotional
Both these joyful characters are quite sentimental as well when it comes to their loved ones. Be it separating from Saloni or when he is on the verge of losing their babies, Akhil’s emotional side comes out.
Rocky’s vulnerable side is also shown during his ‘cancel culture’ speech as well as when he loses his grandfather.
These qualities certainly make the duo kindred spirits. Wouldn’t it be great to have a spinoff where we get to watch these two characters interact with each other? It would be interesting to see whether they clash due to their similar personalities or form a heartwarming bond. What do you think about their similar traits and the idea of them in one movie?
