Shahrukh Khan and Kajol: The Evergreen Blockbuster Jodi of Bollywood!

Shahrukh Khan and Kajol, arguably the most successful on-screen couple in the history of Indian Cinema, started their careers in 1992. Shahrukh made his debut in a film titled ‘Deewana’, while Kajol was first seen in ’Bekhudi’.

More than 24 years later, the two will appear in their seventh film together – ‘Dilwale’ directed by Rohit Shetty, which is scheduled for a grand theatrical release during the festive season of Christmas later this year.

The very fact that Kajol is still being cast opposite one of the top superstars in the industry today, speaks volumes of the love that the audience have for the ‘SRK – Kajol’ jodi. Almost all leading ladies of the 90s have either faded away or play supporting roles. Even stars like Rani Mukherji and Preity Zinta, who dominated the early 2000s, are no longer in the reckoning for big films.

The only exception is Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who recently signed Karan Johar’s ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ also starring Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma.

So what makers ‘SRK – Kajol’ the most evergreen jodi in the industry, nearly 25 years after their first film together? The table below has all the films of the two stars together – almost all films have gone on to make history at the box office. 2 All Time Blockbusters, 2 Blockbusters and 2 HITS.

My Name Is Khan wasn’t a major success in India, but more than made up for it in overseas markets - it was the first film to gross 100 crore overseas and went on to gross more than 200 crore worldwide!
