Apart from the Khan-trio, there are a few more Khans in Bollywood at present – Irrfan Khan, Fardeen Khan, Imraan Khan, Saif Ali Khan etc. Among all these mentioned Khans above, Saif Ali Khan is most successful among all in Bollywood. But Irrfan Khan is most talented and an international celebrity right now. Let us find those actresses who made their film debut opposite Saif Ali Khan.
Vidya Balan – I would like to say, Vidya Balan is most successful among all his female co-stars, who started their career with a ‘Saif’ movie. She acted in several TV serials of Doordarshan in the 1990s, and also appeared in several ads. Her first Malayalam project got shelved, and after a lot of tries she even decided to get married and settle with family life. That’s when Parineeta happened. Though she is a south Indian by birth, most of her fans believe her to be a Bengali girl, through the numerous Bengali roles she played onscreen. She was paired with Saif Ali Khan for her debut film and her career took off.

Diya Mirza – This beauty pageant winner started her film career with the romantic triangle ‘Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein’ in 2001, a remake of south Indian film, Minnale. When Madhavan reprised the role of its original version marking his Bollywood debut, Saif Ali Khan did the role played by Abbas. The movie was a box office flop, though its songs got noticed. Diya Mirza later did several movies in Bollywood, but was not successful.
Diana Penty – This talented young girl made her film debut through Cocktail in 2012. The film met with critical and commercial success. After a long break, Diana returned to silver screen through the film, Happy Bhag Jayegi. Her pairing with Saif in Cocktail was noticed, and it gave her a great start in Bollywood.

Giselli Monteiro – This Brazilian model was seen as a ‘Punjabi Kudi’ in Love Aaj Kal. Saif Ali Khan played a double role in the film, and Giselli Monteiro played the love interest of ‘Punjabi’ Khan. Similar to Diana Penty in Cocktail, Giselli Monteiro played the second female lead in the film Love Aaj Kal and got noticed. Deepika played the main lead in both these commercially successful movies. However Giselli later appeared in one more Bollywood film, Always Kabhi Kabhi and disappeared from screen.

Mamta Kulkarni – One of the early co-stars of Saif, she made her film debut through Aashiq Awara in 1993 opposite Saif Ali Khan. The movie was successful, and she later worked with several leading Bollywood stars like Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar etc.
Three of the five heroines mentioned above started their film careers with a love triangle. Except Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein, all these movies were box office hits. Though RHTDM couldn’t make it big at box office, the film became extremely popular among youth afterwards and achieved a cult status. So in true sense, all these 5 movies were successful, and its debut heroines were benefited also.
As per latest buzz south Indian actress Isha Talwar is to debut Bollywood/web series through ‘Kaala Kaanti’ opposite Saif Ali Khan. Let us wait and see.
