For me its without a doubt Kajol. They just create magic whenever they are on screen together (very sweet off screen too). Some great scenes from their movies: when Raj assures her that he just lied about them sleeping together & when they reunite in DDLJ, the goodbye scene in KKHH + the Pavillion dance scene later on, in K3G Suraj hua madham + their interactions as a married couple etc.
DDLJ, KKHH and K3G belong to my favourite SRK movies so that helps too. I also really like Baazigar and MNIK.
Sadly they were wasted in Dilwale (Rohit Shetty clearly didn't know what to do with them), some of their scenes were still solid. I hope for another movie with them that does them justice.
I also like him with Madhuri (in DTPH and Devdas), Rani and Preity (Veer Zaara especially). He doesn't have much chemistry with Aishwarya Rai, Kareena and Anuskha though and I think SRK & Katrina is one of the worst pairings in Bollywood. One of the reasons JTHJ was awful, who thought that was a good idea?

There are many actresses who have done multiple movies with SRK. The super success of movies staring SRK-Kajol has contributed to the pair being known for their chemistry. The fact that they are good actors helps a lot. For a very long time I could not look beyond the pair as the best pairing available with SRK-Madhuri being close competition. Now let me rewind - * Juhi Chawla(Darr, Ram Jaane, Raju Bangaya Gentleman, Yes Boss) * Madhuri Dixit ( Koyla, Anjaam, Dil to Paagal Hai, Devdas, Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam, Gaja Gamini ) * Kajol ( Baazigar, Karan Arjun, DDLJ - Big one, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, K3G, My Name is Khan, Dilwale ) * Rani Mukherji (Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Chalte Chalte, Paheli, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna) * Preity Zinta ( Dil Se, Kal Ho Na Ho, Veer Zaara, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna) * Deepika ( Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express, Happy New Year ) * Aishwarya Rai (Josh - Not paired together, Mohabbatein, Devdas ) * Kareena Kapoor ( Ashoka, Don, Ra. One) I think SRK has created some chemistry with most of the actresses he has worked with unless the lady opposite just cant act (Katrina for example). The one that does not get much attention is SRK-Aishwarya. I think they make a very good pair as they look gorgeous on screen and have a different vive when they appear together. Many of their moments have looked magical to me .. Songs like Humko Humise churalo, More Piya are so good to watch.. Seeing them on screen gives the feeling like they are made for each other. Thanks to the famous fight we did not see them much more on screen.. SRK-Kajol have had such an amazing off-screen closeness and their on screen pairing is celebrated.. But to be honest I see them together and the only movie that gives me the vive of their togetherness is DDLJ... To some extent Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.. Nothing wrong with rest of them.. They have done a superb job in each movie they have acted together... But I would contest that Rani Mukherji has had played the love interest of SRK better than Kajol... Better eye connection, Sensuality... Just my opinion. After 20+ years of following SRK and his movies.. My choice is SRK-Rani and SRK-Aishwarya Rai.. SRK-Aish if I have to chose one.. Just on Strength of few magical looking moments that still looks magical  . I am saying this even if Kajol and Madhuri have been by far my fav actresses during the last two decades and I have not like Aish too much. I adored Sushmita Sen a lot more. |

For me
1. Srk-kajol
2. Srk- juhi
3. Srk-Aishwarya
4. Srk-Rani
5. Srk-Deepika
But one pair overshadow each and every one is
Srk-Manisha (dilse) but sadly we couldn't get to see much because she was considered jinx opposite khan.

SRK-Rani is probably my favourite due to their realness and intimacy and being less starry than other pairings.
As a non-romantic pairing, SRK-Alia had wonderful chemistry in Dear Zindagi.
From the glimpses in the Raees trailer, SRK and Mahira appear to be an in-sync pair and share some sparkling chemistry.

Interesting thoughts, yeah the huge success of SRK & Kajol's movies together is certainly one of the reasons the pair is so popular, they also keep making movies together and still show they have chemistry (SRK hasn't worked with Rani since 2006 and with Madhuri not since 2002 for an example). I really like Humko Humise churalo, SRK and Aishwarya were pretty good there but overall I think she is just too "fake". Her characters dont feel very believable, she actually dragged Devdas down for me. SRK and Aishwarya didn't have much chemistry there and I was rooting for SRK and Madhuri. I thought SRK and Rani were really good together in KKHH and Chalte Chalte (their best movie together) but they were lacking in Paheli and KANK imho and back then the pair became overused + I wasn't a big fan of these movies. On the other hand SRK and Kajol's movies together apart from Karan Arjun and Dilwale are all some of my favourites (Especially DDLJ, KKHH and K3G). I really feel SRKajol's togetherness in KKHH (Pavillion scene, one of the most romantic scenes I have ever seen. definitely very sensual) K3G (especially as married couple) and MNIK (when Mandira proposes to Rizwan for an example) too but to each their own. But I haven't followed SRK for nearly as long so maybe my thoughts will change too, lol. I definitely feel the same as you did before, SRKajol at Nr.1 by far and then SRK and Madhuri. I would also say that SRK&Preity together are underrated. |

I would also say that SRK&Preity together are underrated.
I don't really like Aish as such... Like I mentioned in my post, I have always like Sush more that Aish among the two famous beauty queens... Yeah Aish does come across as plastic and fake and always trying hard to put up a persona... her laugh being measured and she watches her conduct all the time... This is completely opposite of the likes of Kajol and Sushmita Sen who come across as likeable and energetic with bright smiles..
But as I have become more matured, I feel Aish probably felt the intense media scrutiny that followed each of her movements and tried to avoid controversy.. Now after so many years, I don't dislike her as much or dismiss her as plastic.. I don't know Kajol and Aish as to what kind or people they really are.. So can't say whos better than who and who is more real. Even though they come across as complete opposites.
Now on point.. SRK and Kajol are great together.. But what is romance without some adayen and najakat... Physical proximity and sensuality... Dreamy feel and desire co-existing.. Just find SRK-Aish more bright on screen with Aish reacting better to the hugs and mannerisms and it helps that she is beautiful to look at...
SRK-Rani would probably get my vote for more realism and sensuality too.. Paheli was not too bad and I like KANK more than K3G... (I know not many people are with me on that one)..With Madhuri who is my all time fav actress.. I just felt she looked more mature all the time.. Even though the chemistry was perfect on many occasions.. SRK-Rani pair just edges out for me overall.
SRK-AISH, SRK-RANI - On same level .. (9.5/10 due to different merits with the pair) SRK-MADs (8.5/10) SRK-Kajol - 8/10 (Just for DDLJ and KKHH to some extent - All the chemistry during the second half) SRK-Juhi (Raju Bangaya was wonderful but he terrorized Juhi in Darr ) - 7.5/10 SRK - Preity - 7/10
Yes Dil se was something else as a movie and one of my favs.. But sadly SRK-Manisha did not do much together other than Guddu.

flickaholic I think the sensuality is definitely there with SRKajol (especially in the examples I mentioned), thats one of the reasons I'm a big fan. They can be very sweet, sexy and romantic etc. together. Unlike for an example with Juhi, they are just always sweet and innocent (see Yes Boss) and thats it. Aish was always like that though, I don't think its just because of the media, its her "style". Some also don't like how Kajol is, depends on the person. Aish may react better (like in the Humko Humise churalo song) but it doesn't feel as "real" as with Kajol. SRK and Kajol's romantic scenes just look way more natural to me. It doesn't help that in Mohabbtein their love story wasn't fleshed out and in Devdas it wasn't very believable. I think Madhuri overshadowed her in every way in that movie (and to that counts having better chemistry and scenes with SRK). I think Kajol is also very beautiful, maybe not in the typical sense like Aish and Madhuri but its not like SRK is the typical perfect looking guy either. Good point about Madhuri, she always looked a bit older & more mature than SRK, especially in Devdas. I didnt mind, prefer it to SRK's heroine's these days who could be his daughters, so awkward. I really didn't like KANK, good that Karan & SRK did something different but I hated the lead characters and the movie was just a chore to watch. I expected something like KKHH or K3G and was really disappointed.

I think the scene you mention from KKHH is pretty good and at the time (1998) I was mesmerized as well. But, This is one question where every fan will have a different perception.. More variety that other questions like songs, music, performance... Romance and chemistry are little more personal 
Good topic though.

1 SRK-Juhi - Love their chemistry, he also tends to act more natural opposite her
2 SRK-Manisha - Sad we didn't get to see more of it, Dil Se is one of my all time favorite
3 SRK-Rani - They look good together

1. Srk-Juhi - the best and sadly the most underrated jodi imho. There was just something special and believable about them.
2. Srk-Madhuri - criminally underrated. I'd wish they would do one last movie together ..A simple mature lovestory. I'd kill for it lol
3. Srk-Rani - Sizzling hot.

SRK with anybody is the right answer here.  But, even if cliched, I will go with Shahrukh and Kajol. To me, it is just a once in a lifetime thing to see 2 actors in-sync to THIS level. My pick for second would SRK-Madhuri, but I am very biased because I think Madhuri is the greatest Indian actress of all time. I really wish SRK and Madhuri would come together in a movie soon. |

Yeah I would like that too but it seems like SRK only makes movies with the younger actresses these days. With Kajol being the exception, probably only because of the popularity of that pairing. Sadly actresses in Bollywood are considered too old way faster than the men. I mean the three Khans are still here, doing blockbusters with girls half their age and great actresses like Madhuri, Juhi, Rani etc. don't do much anymore. A huge shame, I really like them more than the actresses these days. Agree about SRKajol obviously, they have something very special. I hope we get a mature love story with them like SRK wants. I think thats the one that still has a chance, a movie with Madhuri or Juhi etc. after so much time seems too late. |

The script was overall too weak, dont think the movie did Madhuri justice (apart from the dancing part). Still at that time a movie with Madhuri would have been great (only 5 years after Devdas) but SRK was already moving on to newer actresses, see Deepika and Anuskha. |

faneu Agree. This is what I tweeted after watching it years back - "Aaah Madhuri. That smile. Film way too long. Madhuri way too less. Someone make a film quick, with her smiling for 2 hrs." It still stands. I will say, though, that the film has grown a little bit on me since then. But it could have been sooooo much better. SRK does not even need to play leading man opposite her. A role like in Dear Zindagi in a Madhuri-centric film would be great too.

Madhuri is the poor man's Sridevi She is arguably the worst actress in terms of acting from her generation, brilliant dancer no doubt but she is so limited acting wise. Can't hold a candle to the real ones like Sridevi,Tabu,Juhi,Manisha to name few popular contemporaries of hers. |

Juhi and Tabu are way too bland and Manisha makes me cringe in every movie I have seen of her (be it Dil Se & Guddu or Mann, AHAT etc.). She is a great actress, with Kajol my favourite Bollywood actress no doubt. After movies like Anjaam, Beta or Devdas how can you say she is limited acting wise? |

What ? Maybe you should watch films like Bombay,Khamoshi,Lajja,Company just to name few... Tabu bland ? LMAO Madhuri was never considered a great actress, she was known for her dance abilities and super hit songs. just look at her filmography and show me a Bombay or a Khamoshi Chandni Bar or a Maqbool Sadma or a English Vinglish You won't find it Acting was never her USP, she was a huge star but not a great actress. |

Says you...most people think of her as one of the best actresses in the 90's (if not the best). But I know that Sridevi fans often hate her because Madhuri was always more popular. Already watched more than enough of Manisha's movies, no need for more lol. |

Interesting thread
The reason i really loved Dil Se was the intense scenes between SRK-Manisha that oozed sensuality and longing. E.g the scene in the desert where he lists what he hates and likes about her. The closeness was mesmerising. When he records a conversation about how many kids they were going to have and he plays it back to her. WOW!. The type of chemistry he had with her, i cant recall him having with any other actress. Just talking about makes me want to watch the movie again. And how can we forget Satrangi Re, one of most favourite songs of all time.
SRK- Tabu in Saathiya. That short appearance oozed more chemistry than Vivek - Rani showed in the entire movie!.

Why not Tabu fans ? Lol Not Salman but SRK is certainly better. You probably disagree about that too lol. Because Tabu was never as popular as these two? Sridevi vs Madhuri was a popular thing back then. I would say this is the beauty of different opinion. No need to think that your opinion is somehow more superior to mine. srklover Shows how different opinions can be. I found all that to be pretty awkward and too one sided. He didn't have that type with other actresses because SRK's characters aren't this obsessed usually and more romantic than that. |

I compared Madhuri and Sridevi specifically because they were very popular back then and had big fanbases (comparable on a smaller scale to the three Khans). Tabu wasn't and thats why I didn't say Tabu fans like to bash her...lol. Maybe try to get off your high horse once in a while? |

. I am saying this even if Kajol and Madhuri have been by far my fav actresses during the last two decades and I have not like Aish too much. I adored Sushmita Sen a lot more.
