Bollywood's most unusual screen couples

Bollywood has produced some staple on-screen couples that we love to watch sizzle on screen, case in point Shahrukh-Kajol. But the real challenge for a director is to break from the norm and go for some odd pairing to give much needed freshness to the film. Here’s a list of such odd-pairings, some which rocked and others that didn’t.

1. Abhishek Bachchan & Rani Mukherjee

Abhishek Bachchan is tall as a Giraffe, and it’s well-known that Rani Mukherjee isn’t one of the tallest actresses around. With a difference of almost a foot between the two, most filmmakers thought against pairing them. But once Mani Ratnam cast them in ‘Yuva’, they sizzled on screen with their crackling chemistry. The pair was an instant hit, as was the movie. The two went on to star in various other movies and was always appreciated. Sadly, we never got to see this pair star together again after the fallout from their alleged relationship.
