Popular contemporaries that have SURPRISINGLY never worked together

The former beauty queen and now a global star has worked with almost all A-list actors in Bollywood; we find no explanations as to why Aamir Khan and PeeCee haven't shared screen yet. Anyway, if rumors are to be believed, they will be working together in astronaut Rakesh Sharma's biopic, Salute.

Aamir Khan had dropped by the sets of 'Neerja', and reportedly, was moved to tears upon seeing the movie. Safe to say the perfectionist was impressed by the fashionista's acting chops. Why has he not approached her with any role, or encouraged any of his directors to rope her in to star opposite him, remains a mystery. Maybe the 'right script' for them to come together is yet to be written.

Though she is a decade and 3 National Awards old in the industry, Kangana has worked with none of the helming Khans. And we doubt if she will ever be seen with any of them. There has been a lot of mud-slinging - a lot of it. Though SRK has always been very wise in his conduct, the actress has been vocal of her dislike for camps that revolve around King Khan. During the release of Manikarnika, she had expressed her disappointment in Aamir Khan for not supporting her movie. Now, though she refused to star is Sultan, she is willing to work with Salman. We all have to wait and watch - patiently.

Mukesh Bhatt's movie 'Mulaqaat' was shot for a few days and shelved. That happened in 1999-2000s and had Rani Mukherjee and Akshay Kumar in key roles along with Chandrachur Singh. We wonder why no other maker ever signed these two together in a movie; both were successful actors of the late 90s and early 2000s. Though Rani makes fewer movie appearances these days, Akshay is still going strong.

Sonam has ticked the box next to Salman Khan's name, but her wish to work with the Badshah of Bollywood stays unrealized. At one point industry-insiders were speculating that she might be seen as his leading lady in an Anand L Rai movie, but Zero had Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma instead.She had once shared her emotions in a magazine interview, saying “I don’t think Shah Rukh wants to work with me. There have been so many opportunities where I could have worked with him and I reached out to him as well. But I never got the opportunity. I guess it’ll happen whenever he feels like working with me”.

Kareena was the original choice for the character essayed by Deepika Padukone in Ram-Leela but things didn't materialize. We are still waiting to see these two ace performers share the silver screen. Given that Kareena has grown uber selective of roles she signs up for, some maker needs to approach her with an extraordinary script with Ranveer as her hero, really fast.

Juhi made a successful couple with Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir. She was seen romancing Salman Khan for a brief moment in the 1997 release Deewana-Mastana. Juhi was a relevant actress of the 90s and though Saif was not as successful, the star status was endowed upon him right from his first movie. So its weird that no maker ever saw any possibility in the pairing of Saif-Juhi. We think they would have looked cute together, jumping around trees to the beats of an Anu Mallik number.

Kick, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Jai Ho, Rem Ratan Dhan Payo, and Sultan - Deepika has turned down multiple movies opposite Salman Khan, for varied reasons. But Deepika was seen sharing screen with Salman in his reality show, on promotional appearances for her movies. We hope an ace director, preferably, Sanjay Leela Bhanshali, gets to frame these two together in one of his future aesthetic milestones.

Aishwarya was featured in a cold drink commercial alongside Aamir Khan in her early modelling days; that ad, till date, remains to be one of her famous works. Together they would have made an interesting on-screen couple, not sure why it never occurred to any Bollywood producer though. Now that both of them have turned super picky and are working of selected projects, hopes of seeing them share the big screen are not likely to be met. Again, it's not mayanagari for nothing. So, you never know.

Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty were the 90s Bollywood action heroes. That was the era of Madhuri ruling the box-office, but again, her genre was romances like Dil, Saajan, and Hum Aapke Hain Kaun. Though she was cast in an Akshay Kumar-Saif Ali Khan starer, Aarzoo, the Madhuri-Suniel pairing never saw the light of the day.
