01/10Bollywood actresses who made their debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan
Here’s a list of 10 scintillating divas who made their dream Bollywood debut opposite the King of Romance, Shah Rukh Khan.
02/10Deepika Padukone
Deepika Padukone once admitted that she feels she got to make the best debut any girl could ever dream of. Mesmerizing and delicate, her iconic portrayal of Shanti Priya in Farah Khan’s 'Om Shanti Om' opposite the King of Romance Shah Rukh Khan has gone down in the history of Indian cinema. Later when she was offered ‘Happy New Year’, she said yes to the movie without even reading the script as she was so excited to work with SRK and Farah again.
03/10Anushka Sharma
Launched by the Yash Raj banner in a film directed by Aditya Chopra opposite Bollywood's baadshah Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka's Bollywood debut was absolutely surreal. She has often said that since she made her debut with Shah Rukh, he will always be special to her.
04/10Shilpa Shetty
Model-turned-actress Shilpa Shetty signed her first movie ‘Gaata Rahe Mera Dil’ and began work on it. However, the movie went unreleased and thus her debut release was Abbas-Mustan's thriller ‘Baazigar’, alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. The movie was a major box-office hit and finished up as the fourth-highest-grossing film of the year.
05/10Preity Zinta
Preity Zinta entered the industry by mere flook. She had accompanied a friend to an audition and was asked if she would audition too. Upon seeing her audition, filmmaker Shekhar Kapur insisted that she should give acting a shot. He recommended her for director Mani Ratnam 's ‘Dil Se..’ which then kicked off Zinta’s successful acting career.
06/10Mahira Khan
Pakistani beauty Mahira Khan made her big Bollywood debut opposite SRK in ‘Raees’. While the ban on Pakistani artists working in Bollywood held her back from promoting the movie along with Shah Rukh and Nawazuddin, she was given due credit for her contribution to the movie and a fair amount of screen space as well.
07/10Mahima Chaudhary
Mahima Chaudhary made her successful Bollywood debut opposite Shah Rukh in the 1997 superhit movie ‘Pardes’. Helmed by ace filmmaker Subhash Ghai, ‘Pardes’ was the fourth highest grossing movie worldwide, and overseas the second highest grossing movie after ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’ in 1997.
08/10Waluscha de Sousa
Waluscha did her first TV commercial for a soft drink brand with Shah Rukh Khan at the age of 17 and years later made her big Bollywood debut opposite him with Maneesh Sharma’s ‘Fan’.
09/10Gayatri Joshi
Gayatri Joshi was a successful model before she bagged Ashutosh Gowarikar’s ‘Swades’ opposite Shah Rukh Khan. While ‘Swades’ went on to become a Box Office hit and received strong acclaim from Indian film critics, Gayatri too received a lot of praise for her work.
10/10Suchitra Krishnamoorthy
Suchitra was a successful model and television actress who made her breakthrough in films with the 1994 movie ‘Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa’, a commercial and critically acclaimed hit, opposite Shah Rukh Khan.
