15 Bollywood actresses who just missed to pair with all three Khans
The successful trio – Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan has been ruling Bollywood for the past 25 years or so. Though many actors have emerged after that, none could re-create Khan-trio magic, and I am pretty sure, the trio will keep their supremacy and rule Bollywood for the next one decade or so. Many actresses who have debut opposite Khan in Bollywood have become successful, and lucky a few Bollywood divas who got opportunity to work with all the three Khans of Bollywood, and a few are eagerly waiting.
Through this column I would like to list those actresses who have worked with two big Khans of Bollywood, and waiting for the third one to happen. Here we go. 1. Sushmita Sen
Let me start off the list with Bollywood divas, better known as fashion icons and international beauty pageant winners. Sushmita has an amazing career record with Khans, and worked with them in two movies each. She started off her Bollywood journey in the second half of 1990s, and worked with Salman Khan for the first time in Biwi No: 1, followed by Meine Pyar Kyon Kiya. Both these movies were directed by comedy king David Dhawan, and remained successful at box office.

Sushmita worked with Shah Rukh Khan for the first time in Main Hoon Na – a super hit masala entertainer at box office. Debutant director Farah Khan wrote the script, keeping Sushmita’s name in her mind, and Sushmita’s role as a sizzling college lecturer did wonders on big screen. Later Shah Rukh made an extended cameo appearance in Dulha Mil Gaya, which failed at box office. Sushmita Sen is yet to share screen space with Aamir Khan, which fans are waiting for.
2. Aishwarya Rai
Next big name is the list in Aishwarya Rai. She shares amazing screen chemistry with both Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, and has delivered hits always. Aishwarya got her big break to ad world through a coke ad aside Aamir Khan in the early 1990s. But they are yet to share screen space for a Bollywood film together.
Aishwarya shared screen space with Salman Khan for the first time in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam in 1999. Bollywood witnessed one of the most lovable onscreen jodis ever! They also appeared together for the film – Hum Tumhare Hai Sanam, where Aishwarya played a cameo role of a blind girl. Aishwarya has been casted by director Sanjay Leela Bansali several times post the great success of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam including Devdas, where she shared screen space with Shah Rukh Khan.

Aishwarya shared screen space with SRK for the first time in Josh. A big surprising to all, she played Shah Rukh’s sister in this film released in 2000. Same year they appeared as pair for the film – Mohabbatein, followed by Devdas, and one item song for the movie – Shakti: The Power. After that they have never worked together. Apart from Aishwarya-Aamir pair, it would be delight to watch ‘Devdas Magic‘ once again on screen.
3. Priyanka Chopra
Title song – Don
The next beauty pageant winner to be named in the list is of course, Priyanka Chopra. She shares amazing screen chemistry with both Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. She worked with Shah Rukh Khan for Don and its sequel, both directed by Farhan Akhtar. Priyanka worked with Salman Khan for the first time in Mujhse Shaadi Karogi in 2004, which was a blockbuster. However they failed to re-create the magic for the movies, Salaam-e-Ishq: A Tribute to Love and God Tussi Great Ho. At a point when Priyanka has now become an international celebrity now, we wish her to do one film with the perfectionist, Aamir Khan.
4. Lara Dutta

The next beauty in the list is Miss Universe 2000, Lara Dutta. She shared screen space with Shah Rukh Khan for Don 2, and worked with Salman for the film, Partner, and both these movies were successful at box office. Like previous beauty pageant winner given above, she is yet to share screen space with Aamir Khan.
5. Mahima Chaudhary
We have completed beauty pageant winners and let us move to other Bollywood heroines. Mahima shared screen space with Aamir Khan and Aishwarya Rai for that popular Pepsi add of 1993. Both these ladies are yet to work with Aamir for one Bollywood film. Mahima got her big film debut through Subhash Ghai’s Pardes, where she shared screen space with Shah Rukh Khan. But things went bad after that.

Mahima worked with Salman Khan for the movie Baghban, and they also shared screen space for the popular dance number, “Lagan Lagi” from the movie – Tere Naam.
6. Shilpa Shetty
Kitabein Bahut Se – song from Baazigar
She made her big screen entry through Baazigar in 1993 opposite King Khan, and since then she has stayed in Bollywood for a long time. She worked with Salman Khan for the movie, Phir Milenge, Garv and Shaadi Karke Phas Gaya Yaar. Similar to ladies mentioned above she is yet to work with Aamir.
7. Mamta Kulkarni
Dheere Dheere song from Baazi
Let me add the first lady to the list who has been paired with Aamir Khan in a movie. Mamta was paired with Aamir Khan for the action-musical film Baazi in 1995 directed by Ashutosh Gowarikar. Same year she shared screen space with both Khans of Bollywood through the film – Karan Arjun. She was paired with Salman Khan this time, though Shah Rukh also played lead hero in the film. Shah Rukh was paired with Kajol for the film. Literally she has worked with all the three Khans. Yet as I am creating a list of screen jodis, Mamta Kulkarni is yet to pair with SRK, and hence placed in this list.
8. Pooja Bhatt
A screenshot from the title track of Dil Haan Ki Manta Nahin
She shared amazing screen chemistry with Aamir Khan in the early 1990s, and they sizzled in the movie – Dil Haan Ki Manta Nahin released in 1991. But they never worked together again. Similar to Aamir, she worked with Shah Rukh Khan for a single film – Chaahat in 1996, which fell flat at box office.
9. Ayesha Jhulka
Very popular ‘Pehla Nasha’ song from Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander
She made her film debut opposite Salman Khan through Kurbaan, and established as a star through Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander, where she shared screen space with Aamir Khan. The movie is still her career best, and she has never worked with Shah Rukh Khan in any film.
10. Priya Gill
Apun Bola from Josh (SRK did playback singing for the first time)
She played Shah Rukh Khan’s love interest in Josh (2000), where Aishwarya played his sister’s role. She also shared screen space with Salman Khan in the film Sirf Tum. Salman was seen in a cameo role, playing Priya’s fiancée. She never worked with Aamir, and has now retired from industry.
11. Ameesha Patel
Dheere Dheere song from Yeh Hai Jalwa
She made her big screen entry in the year 2000, and later worked in a few successful movies. She worked with Aamir Khan for 2005 periodic film, Mangal Pandey: The Rising which failed at box office. She worked with Salman Khan for the flop comedy film – Yeh Hai Jalwa. However the songs of the movie got noticed. She is yet to share screen space with King Khan for a film.
12. Asin Thottumkal
Tu Meri Adoori song from Gajini
One of those rare breed of Indian actresses, Asin is equally popular in Bollywood and south Indian cinema. She made her Bollywood entry through Aamir’s Ghajini which made her a star overnight. She worked with Salman Khan for the films, London Dreams and Ready, and yet to romance King of Romance – SRK.
13. Nagma
King Uncle – One of the early releases of Khan
She made her film entry opposite Salman Khan in Baaghi in 1990, and later worked with King Khan in King Uncle two years later. She has never worked with Aamir Khan. She also played a cameo role in Salman Khan’s Chal Mere Bhai in 2000.
14. Sri Devi
She stayed at no: 1 position in Bollywood for a long time. Yet she doesn’t hold a good record with Khans. She is two years senior to all the three Khans, yet got opportunity to romance with all of them. Sri Devi worked with Salman Khan in a couple of fantasy movies – Chandramukhi and Suryavanshi in the first half of 1990s, while she played Shah Rukh’s wife in Army (1996), released in the second half of 1990s. All these movies were box office failures.

Though she has never romanced with Aamir Khan onscreen, they did an amazing photo shoot for Filmfare in the early 1990s, when Aamir had a chocolate image. They appeared as a hot romantic pair for this photo shoot.
15. Neelam Kothari
Neelam has been a successful actress in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and she has romanced with almost all young heroes of her time. She was paired with Salman Khan for the film, Ek Ladka Ek Ladki, and with Aamir Khan for the film, Afsana Pyar Ka – known for the popular romantic rain song – Tip Tip Baarish.
The very popular ‘tip tip’ rain song of the movie, Afsana Pyar Ka
She played the cameo role of a VJ in one of the big hits of Shah Rukh Khan – Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. They also had a combination scene for the film. But they have never worked together as a romantic pair.
